In this work, spherical and dense molybdenum particles with the average particle size of 16.6 mu m were synthesized by thermal plasma spheroidization process, and further used to fabricate homogeneous Mo-25 wt% Cu composites by infiltration method. The influence of infiltration temperature and holding time on the microstructure and properties of ob...
The damping property expressed by internal friction tan phi of as-cast Mg-Zr binary alloys with Zr content from 0.6 to 5.0% was experimentally measured under conditions of changing temperature from ambient temperature T-am to 600 K (327 degrees C), vibration frequency f from 1.0 to 10.0 Hz, strain epsilon from 1.0 x 10(-6) to 1.0 x 10(-3), and heat...
In order to advance the state-of-the-art in computational aortic biomechanics, we investigated the influence of (i) a non-uniform wall thickness, (ii) minor aortic side branches and (iii) a non-uniform axial stretch distribution on the location of predicted hotspots of principal strain in a mouse model for dissecting aneurysms. After 3 days of angi...
Magnetron sputter deposition was applied to grow thin metal films in the presence of impurities. These impurities are ambient gas molecules and/or atoms from the residual gas present in the vacuum chamber. Seven materials were investigated: four single element metals (Al, Ag, Cu, and Cr), two widely applied alloys (Cu55Ni45 and Ni90Cr10), and one h...

[email protected](TiN-Si3N4) composites with heteroshelled structure were designed for enhanced conductivity and successfully synthesized through the simultaneous reduction and in-situ cocoating process in liquid ammonia at around -40 degrees C. The heteroshells were composed of nanosized TiN and Si3N4 particles, which were amorphous with the size ranging fro...

Main group element coordination polymers (MGE-CPs) are important compounds for the development of multifunctional materials. However, there has been a shortage of studies regarding their structural, optical, catalytic, mechanical, and antibacterial properties. This work presents an exhaustive study of a set of crystalline MGE-CPs obtained from bism...
