Effect mechanism of Er content variations on the mechanical and corrosion properties of T6 state Al–Mg–Si-xEr sheets by Cao, Puli, Zhu, Daibo, Wu, Na, Ouyang, Lingxue, Li, Chengbo, Liu, Yang, Zhu, Yulong, Liu, Jirong

“…This work investigates the influence of erbium (Er) content on the microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion behavior of T6 state AA6061 sheets. The findings reveal that nanoscale Al(Fe, Mn)Si particles are the main factors hindering dislocation motion and grain boundaries (GBs) migration. …”

Argon-plasma-induced ultrathin thermal grafting of thermoresponsive pNIPAm coating for contractile patterned human SMC sheet engineering by Rayatpisheh, Shahrzad, Li, Peng, Chan-Park, Mary B.

“…This method is optimized for human primary SMC attachment and subsequent intact cell sheet detachment by lowering the temperature. The contractile gene expression of the cells showed that the contractile phenotype of the SMCs which is induced by aligning the cells through micropatterning is more preserved after thermoresponsive cell sheet detachment in contrast with enzymatic detachment. …”
