Due to their high strength, high toughness, and corrosion resistance, high-strength aluminum alloys have attracted great scientific and technological attention in the fields of aerospace, navigation, high-speed railways, and automobiles. However, the...

In this paper, first principles method was adopted to investigate the point defects, Vanadium-related defects and defect combinations (vacancy (V), substitutional (S) and/or interstitial (I)) in molybdenum β-Mo2C and explore the use of first pri...

With carbon fiber, it is difficult to load semiconductor photocatalysts and easy to shed off thanks to its smooth surface and few active groups, which has always been a problem in the synthesis of photocatalysts. In the study, SrTiO3 nanoparticles we...

This paper summarizes the assessment of directional anisotropy in local mechanical properties for Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) IN-718 bulk samples via the use of miniature samples excised from the bulk for both as-deposited and post-treated states....

This study compared the outcome of fixed prostheses supported by short implants (<8 mm) and longer implants (≥8 mm) with an elevated sinus floor after 5 years of follow-up. The literature searches were performed electronically and manually in P...

The stability and mechanical properties of hydroxyapatite (HAp)/Chitosan composite materials depend on the dispersion of HAp aggregates in the chitosan matrix and on the chemical interaction between them. Therefore, hexagonal cross-sectioned HAp nano...

In this paper, eight variables of cement, blast furnace slag, fly ash, water, superplasticizer, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and flow are used as network input and slump is used as network output to construct a back-propagation (BP) neural networ...

Local fiber alignment in fiber-reinforced thermoplastics is governed by complex flows during the molding process. As fiber-induced material anisotropy leads to non-homogeneous effective mechanical properties, accurate prediction of the final orientat...

Most drug carriers used in pulmonary administration are microparticles with diameters over 1 µm. Only a few examples involving nanoparticles have been reported because such small particles are readily exhaled. Consequently, the development of m...

Lithium niobate (LiNbO3) is known for its high Curie temperature, making it an attractive candidate for high-temperature piezoelectric applications (>200 °C); however, the literature suffers from a paucity of reliable material properties data...
