Curing kinetics of epoxies by thermal and alternative radiation in the application of fibre-reinforced composites by Ng, Feng Lin.

“…Therefore, the removal of the gel time constraints could lead to improved laminate quality; for example, there is more time for precise fibre placement and orientation, complete fibre wetting and the removal of entrapped air. The aim of this project is to study the feasibility of employing radiation curing in the fabrication of glass fibre reinforced composites using epoxy based matrices. …”

3D profilometry for turbine blade shape profiling by Koh, Hoe Jyh.

“…The fringe patterns captured by a CCD camera are then analyzed with phase shifting method to retrieve the wrapped phase map. This is followed by temporal phase unwrapping to obtain the unwrapped phase map, which is then paired with calibration parameters to obtain the final 3D result. …”

Study of zero Poisson’s ratio honeycomb composite structure by Chia, Yingxue

“…By using zero Poisson’s ratio honeycomb structure, it may relieve problems of fitting into “out of plane” structures into the desired product shape, allowing the honeycomb sandwich panels to wrap around 2D curved surfaces without geometric trimming and comprising mechanical properties. …”

An elastomer with ultrahigh strain-induced crystallization by Hartquist, Chase M, Lin, Shaoting, Zhang, James H, Wang, Shu, Rubinstein, Michael, Zhao, Xuanhe

“…However, the crystallinity induced by mechanical stretching in common elastomers (e.g., natural rubber) is typically below 20%, and the stretchability plateaus due to trapped entanglements. We report a class of elastomers formed by end-linking and then deswelling star polymers with low defects and no trapped entanglements, which achieve strain-induced crystallinity of up to 50%. …”

Genes for carnivory : a comparative study on the local duplication of papain-like cysteine proteases in carnivorous plants by Tan, Qiao Wen

“…A Droseraceae-specific expansion of PAP/SAG12 genes including 4 previously identified trap proteins suggests that the adoption of PLCPs for carnivory may have occurred in the last common ancestor of D. capensis and D. regia or earlier. …”

High cycle fatigue behavior of 316L stainless steel manufactured via directed energy deposition with varying laser energy by Boey, Kai Jun

“…Results have shown that volume fraction of porosity reduces monotonously with increasing laser energy, accompanied by a transition in porosity category from lack of fusion defects to gas-entrapped porosity. Rotating bending fatigue (RBF) tests were performed on all these blocks to explore high cycle fatigue (HCF) behaviors of samples containing different microstructures. …”

Perspective: bonding and electronic origin of Au atomic-undercoordination-derivacy and nanoscale-size-dependency by Sun, Changqing

“…Systematic analysis of the electron emission spectra of XPS and STM/S of the undercoordinated gold atoms revealed that the 4f and 5d bands undergo quantum entrapment while the 6s level is subject to localization and polarization because of the undercoordination-induced local bond contraction and bond strength gain – named bond order-length-strength correlation and nonbonding electron polarization (BOLS-NEP). …”

Low temperature combustion of cooking fume. by Muliyanni Zakaria.

“…Sampling was done at different foodcourts by using a sampling pump attached to glass containing sorbents to trap the air of the foodcourt environment. Then, extraction of trapped cooking fume was done through sonication of flask filled with sorbents in an extracting solvent. …”

Scalable cascade inference for semantic image segmentation by Sturgess, P, Ladický, L, Crook, N, Torr, PHS

“…In this paper we propose meeting this requirement by performing cascaded inference that wraps around the a-expansion algorithm. The cascade both divides the large label set into smaller more manageable ones by way of a hierarchy, and dynamically subdivides the image into smaller and smaller regions during inference. …”

Solution processed transition metal oxides selective contacts for Si heterojunction solar cells by Lu, Chenjin

“…Most importantly, the carrier selectivity of TMOs is believed to be originated from oxygen vacancies related traps, through which carriers are extracted or transported through trap assisted tunnelling across the TMO and Si heterojunction. …”
