Fabrication and characterization of graphene and carbon nanotube reinforced bioceramic nanocomposites by Hu, Huanlong

“…Bioceramics play an important role in the replacement and regeneration of human tissues, but their intrinsic brittleness and low wear resistance make the monolithic bioceramics still problematic for load-bearing applications. The two dimensional (2D) graphene and one dimensional (1D) carbon nanotube (CNT), as the secondary strong and tough biocompatible nanofillers, are popular nanocarbons to reinforce bioceramics. …”

Flexible optical fiber probe for surface roughness evaluation of internal channels in additively manufactured components by Subbarao, Guru Prasad Arudi, Haridas, Aswin, Patinharekandy, Prabhathan, Kapur, Pulkit, Chan, Kelvin, Matham, Murukeshan Vadakke

“…However, being a stochastic process, there is minimal control over the surface quality and thus require adequate quality checks before implementation. In this context, this paper investigates a flexible optical fiber probe and speckle correlation measurements to quantitatively estimate the average surface roughness, Ra, of areas within internal channels. …”
