‘On-demand’ soft tissue adhesives by Mogal, Vishal Tukaram

“…Various plasma parameters were investigated for controlling model drug release and soft-tissue adhesion of polyester thin films. When compared to non-treated polyester thin films, plasma intensity could give rise to a ~ 6-fold (for 100 W, 5 min.) increase in shear adhesion strength (157 ± 24 mN/cm2). …”

Practical support structures for selective laser melting by Gan, Ming Xuan, Wong, Chee How

“…Uniformly spaced vertical struts, of only 2.2% overhang-support contact area, enables fabrication of relatively levelled thin plates. Finite element analysis also showed that unequally spaced support structures changes the heat dissipation pattern in the thin plate which can lead to thermal distortions. …”

A large-area lithium metal–carbon nanotube film for precise contact prelithiation in lithium-ion batteries by Wang, Chao, Yang, Fangzhou, Wan, Wang, Wang, Shihe, Zhang, Yongyi, Huang, Yunhui, Li, Ju

“…Prelithiation is a method to improve the energy density and cycle life of lithium-ion batteries, and contact prelithiation of the graphite anode using thin lithium foil is a promising technique. However, producing thin lithium foil below 5 μm is extremely challenging, making it difficult to achieve precise prelithiation with lithium metal. …”

Influence of slip on the Rayleigh-Plateau rim instability in dewetting viscous films by Bäumchen, O, Marquant, L, Blossey, R, Münch, A, Wagner, B, Jacobs, K

“…An important difference exists between this classic instability of a liquid column and the rim instability in a thin film as the growth of the rim is continuously fueled by the receding film. …”

Rethinking the role that the “step” in the load–displacement curves can play in measurement of fracture toughness for hard coatings by Zhang, Xiaomin, Zhang, Sam

“…This paper scrutinizes the “step” and finds that the “step” is a gap artificially bridged up with a straight line and that the “step” size corresponds with the thickness of the coating in testing. …”
