Abstract: To improve AZ31 magnesium (Mg) alloy plasticity, semisolid extruding with electromagnetic stirring process was adopted, and then the mechanical properties and microstructure were studied. The melting temperature was 730℃, and the preheat temperature of the die was set as 300℃, and electromagnetic stirring parameters were 6H

Abstract: This paper reports the precipitation of calcium phosphate (CaP) on alkaline hydrothermally treated titanium alloy under ultraviolet (UV) lighting. Urea (NH2CONH2) with different concentrations were added into a simulated body fluid buffered by sodium lactate. CO2 and NH3 gas release during immersion tests were detected. The

Abstract: This paper is to present the design consideration of the adjustable flexible auxetic structure which is used in the soft wearable suit with the multi-layer materials. In order to design a macro-auxetic structure with the elastic flexibilities of the soft wearable suit, it is important to make the auxetic unit cell with the

Abstract: In this investigation, it was proposed to analyze the optimized geometry, density of states (DOS) and electronic band structures of copper (4.16%, 4.16%+oxygen vacancy & 8.33%) doped Titanium Dioxide (Cu-TiO2) photocatalysts using density functional theory corrected for on-site Coulombic interactions (DFT+U). The photocata

Abstract: Film dosage forms (FDs) prepared using water-soluble polymers can efficiently deliver drugs to local disease sites. In the present study, we prepared FDs by incorporating a model drug rebamipide into a film made of sodium alginate (Alg-Na), comprising an alginic acid hydrolysate and α-L-guluronic acid (G) block (G-block), a

Abstract: The operation and maintenance of nuclear power plants, the non nuclear fuel cycle, etc generate low-level radioactive waste which, along with the historical radioactive waste from past nuclear activities, needs to be treated and stored, awaiting final disposal. Plasma technology offers a very effective way of treating this
