“Materials Science” Challenges in the Additive Manufacturing of Industrial Parts by Hascoet, Jean-Yves, Marya, Surendar, Marya, Manuel, Singh, Virendra

“…Additive Manufacturing (AM), somewhat like fusion welding, brings into play: (1) complex and interacting physical phenomena such as heat and mass transfer, phase changes (including melting, solidification, allotropic transformations and diffusion phenomena such as epitaxial growth, grain growth), (2) a number of process variables associated to the moving heat source (e.g., its power, power distribution, relative speed, size, all affecting energy density), its paths (e.g., linear, circular, oscillatory), and added metal feed rate via powder, wire, or ribbon, all controlling deposit dimensions, aspect-ratios, and properties, including defects. …”

Zinc oxide nanowires and nanorods fabricated by vapour-phase transport at low temperature by Xu, Chunxiang, Sun, Xiaowei, Dong, Zhili, Yu, M. B., My, T. D., Zhang, X. H., Chua, S. J., White, Timothy John

“…The nanowires grown on gold-coated silicon showed a uniform diameter of about 40 nm, and the nanorods on copper-coated silicon grew upwards to form flower-like arrays. The x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analyses demonstrated that the nanostructural zinc oxide grew along the [0001] direction. …”

A study on the snowing phenomenon in binary alloy solidification by Saffie, M.G.M., Tso, Chih Ping., Tan, F. L.

“…The snowing phenomenon has been observed in some studies where seed crystals formed near the bottom of the test cell during solidification are carried up flow above the mushy layer by thermo-solutal convection flow, and they fall down on it just like atmospheric snow occurring in nature. In this study, snowing phenomenon was studied by varying parameters which could affect the thermal as well as solutal gradients, at six weight % concentrations of ammonium chloride solutions, from 23% to 26%, with temperatures −24 °C, −20 °C and −16 °C, and at volume of solution either full or half-full. …”

An integrated nine-switch power conditioner for power quality enhancement and voltage sag mitigation by Zhang, Lei, Loh, Poh Chiang, Gao, Feng

“…Despite these advantages, the nine-switch converter has so far found limited applications due to its many perceived performance tradeoffs like requiring an oversized dc-link capacitor, limited amplitude sharing, and constrained phase shift between its two sets of output terminals. …”

Biomolecular engineering of a human beta defensin model for increased salt resistance by Li, Xiang, Saravanan, Rathi, Kwak, Sang Kyu, Leong, Susanna Su Jan

“…Human beta defensins (hBDs) are natural antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) with broad spectrum antimicrobial activity. However, hBDs, like many AMPs, are easily inactivated by salt, which limits their extracellular applications as antimicrobial coating agents. …”
