A study of shape memory effect in hydrogel/polyethylene glycol hybrid by Luke, Pennefather Pyne

“…Brief experiments were carried out and results show that HG/PEG hybrids do not experience volume expansion when heated above melting temperature of hybrid. Hybrids containing high weight percentage of PEG (> ~200 wt% of PEG) showed thermo-responsive shape memory effect, while hybrids containing lower weight percentage of PEG (< 100 wt% of PEG) became hard and brittle. …”

Multi-scale Modeling Of Additive Manufacturing Process by Seet, Gim Lee, Tor, Shu Beng, Chua, Chee Kai, Chandra, Shubham, Phanikumar, Gandham

“…To this need, a multi-scale numerical study is carried out combining a three-dimensional finite element (FE) based macro-scale and a cellular automaton (CA) based meso-scale model in order to simulate the dendritic grain growth in the selective laser melting (SLM) technique. The macro-scale model successfully simulates the heat transfer and fluid flow physics associated with a moving melt pool. …”

Phase Change Dispersion Made by Condensation–Emulsification by Fischer, Ludger J., Dhulipala, Somayajulu, Varanasi, Kripa K.

“…A recently published method to produce emulsions by the direct condensation of the dispersed phase into the emulsifier-containing continuous phase is applied on this PCD. n-Decane is used as PCM, and the melting temperature is -30 °C. The achieved apparent specific heat capacity lies above 15 kJ/kg·K, more than 3 times the value of water. …”
