Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is the main inorganic component of human skeletal tissue such as bone, teeth et al. Because of its excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability and mechanical properties, it is widely applied in the field of medicine, particularly in bone repairing and drug release. However, it is difficult to prepare HAP particles with good di...

We developed a novel process of planting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) within spherical Ti-6Al-4V powder to fabricate a CNTs/Ti-6Al-4V composite powder. The new powder addressed the issues of spherical morphology maintaining and homogenous dispersion of CNTs, and thereby exhibited good printability. After printing, a relative density of 99.9% was obtaine...
Al2O3 ceramic was added to a CaO-B2O3-Al2O3-SiO2 glass system to improve mechanical properties and thermal cycle stability in solid oxide fuel cell composite seals. The performance of glass-based seals with different Al2O3 content was evaluated, including the shear strength and leakage rate of the composite seals. The results showed that HA80 compo...

Residence time distribution of particles is a critical parameter for proper design of gas-solid fluidized beds, especially in many non-catalytic solid conversion processes where it is highly desirable to match the residence time of a particle and its complete conversion time to achieve the synchronized conversion of particles of different sizes. Ho...
Mesoscale structures exist inherently in fluidized beds and hence should be taken into account in the constitutive modeling of the drag force. To account for mesoscale effects, previous efforts have been paid on extending the steady-state Energy-Minimization Multi-Scale (EMMS) model to the sub-grid level by introducing acceleration terms into the f...
