This article presents a concise overview of modern achievements and existing knowledge gaps in the area of biodegradable magnesium alloys. Hundreds of Mg-based alloys have been proposed as candidates for temporary implants, and this number tends to i...

Asphalt concrete has been used as a material for dam core walls because of its impermeability, durability and reliability. Firstly, asphalt is a temperature-sensitive material, and many of its characteristics are related to temperature. Secondly, bec...

Triol acrylic-urethane (t-AU) was synthesized from an addition reaction using trimethylolpropane, hexamethylene diisocyanate, and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate. The novel acrylic-urethane polymer was applied to a high-performance binder to prepare a re...

X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were used to study changes in the structure of amorphous alloys under deformation by high-pressure torsion and multiple rolling. The change in mean nearest neighbor distance (the radius of the first...

Quantum dot materials, with their unique photophysical properties, are promising zero-dimensional materials for encryption, display, solar cells, and biomedical applications. However, due to the large surface to volume ratio, they face the challenge...

ZK61 magnesium-alloy plate with high tensile strength and elongation is obtained by combined multipass symmetric hot rolling and asymmetric warm rolling. Deformation history considering varying strain rate obtained from the macro-finite element analy...

The use of natural products as chemotherapeutic agents is well established. However, many are associated with undesirable side effects, including high toxicity and instability. Previous reports on the cytotoxic activity of pyrroloiminoquinones isolat...

In this work, the strength properties and impact toughness of the ultrafine-grained (UFG) Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy produced by severe plastic deformation (SPD) in combination with upsetting were studied, depending on the direction of crack propagatio...

In this paper, the dynamic behavior of a hip level joint device of an active exoskeleton used in the medical field is analyzed. The finite element method is used in order to determine the first frequencies and the eigenmodes, necessary for the fatigu...

Cadmium (Cd), as a type of heavy metal, can increase the incidence of many diseases, even in low concentrations. In this study, tobermorite was hydrothermally synthesized and then applied to adsorb Cd2+ from an aqueous solution. The physicochemical c...
