Drying and physical properties of rubber wood impregnated with silver nanoparticles by João Vicente de Figueiredo Latorraca, Sabrina Mayer de Almeida, José Henrique Camargo Pace, Jonnys Paz Castro, Glaycianne Christine Vieira dos Santos, Carlos Eduardo Silveira da Silva

“…The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of impregnation of silver nanoparticles and vaporization on the drying rate, volumetric, radial and tangential contractions and the anisotropy coefficient of Hevea brasiliensis wood. Samples from two clones (PB311-MDF180 and TP875) were subjected to a vaporization process for 24 hours to increase permeability, also to an application of vacuum (750 mmHg) to remove vessels and pits obstructions, and subsequently to impregnation with silver nanoparticles (22 ppm). …”

Fine Structure and the Huge Zero-Field Splitting in Ni²⁺ Complexes by Miroslav Georgiev, Hassan Chamati

“…The obtained results unequivocally show that a moderate or highly coordinated <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mn>3</mn><msup><mi>d</mi><mn>8</mn></msup></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> complex can neither exhibit spin–orbit-driven large and giant magnetic anisotropy nor a huge zero-field splitting. Moreover, in the trigonal bipyramidal coordination, a fine structure associated to the ground state cannot result from the spin-orbit coupling alone.…”

Tribo-corrosion response of additively manufactured high-entropy alloy by Jibril Shittu, Maryam Sadeghilaridjani, Mayur Pole, Saideep Muskeri, Jie Ren, Yanfang Liu, Ismael Tahoun, Harpreet Arora, Wen Chen, Narendra Dahotre, Sundeep Mukherjee

“…The additively manufactured (AM-ed) CoCrFeMnNi showed five times lower wear rate, regenerative passivation, and nobler corrosion potential during tribo-corrosion test compared to its arc-melted counterpart. A significant anisotropy was seen in the tribo-corrosion response with 45° to the build direction showing better performance compared to tests along the build direction and perpendicular to it. …”

Tailoring microstructure via heat treatment to improve the corrosion resistance of directed energy deposited nickel-aluminum bronze alloy by Cheng Xu, Yong Peng, Liang-Yu Chen, Zhen-Wen Chen, Tian-Yang Zhang, Jing-Jing Cheng, Ke-Hong Wang

“…The annealing treatment induces a strengthened (111) texture, while quenched and aged samples exhibit minimal anisotropy. The corrosion morphology observation releases the obvious cracks presented in the passive film of the annealed sample, and each phase is severely corroded, while the microstructures of other samples are well preserved. …”

Effects of amygdale heterogeneity and sample size on the mechanical properties of basalt by Zhenjiang Liu, Chunsheng Zhang, Chuanqing Zhang, Huabin Wang, Hui Zhou, Bo Zhou

“…When the orientation of amygdales is between 0° and 90°, basalt shows a relatively pronounced strength and stiffness anisotropy. Based on the analysis of the geometric and mechanical properties, the representative element volume (REV) size of amygdaloidal basalt blocks is determined to be 200 mm, and the mechanical properties obtained on this scale can be regarded as the properties of the equivalent continuum. …”

Preferential orientation of tracer spheroids in turbulent channel flow by Yucheng Jie, Lihao Zhao, Chunxiao Xu, Helge I. Andersson

“…Furthermore, cross over the channel the prolate spheroids aligned with the direction of Lagrangian stretching but oblate spheroids oriented with the direction of Lagrangian compression. The weak anisotropy of orientations of fluid Lagrangian stretching and compression observed at the channel center could be the reason for the aforementioned modest anisotropic orientation of spheroids in channel central region. …”
