Failure at the bone–implant interface due to the difference in modulus is the primary cause of orthopaedic implant loosening. Multiple strategies are offered for enhancing osseointegration through tissue ingrowth with strong interfacial locking. The bioactive and bioresorbable metal–glass composite is designed for defect healing, which will ultimately be replaced by newly generated skeletal tissues. Conventional metallic biomaterials such as stainless steel, titanium, and cobalt–chromium alloys exhibit a substantially higher Youngs’ modulus compared to that of natural bone. This pronounced stiffness mismatch in bioresorbable load bearing implants leads to an undesirable stress-shielding effect that compromises long-term implant performance and bone remodelling. Conversely, magnesium based alloys are lightweight and exhibit lower mechanical properties when utilised in a porous form compared to real bone. Nonetheless, its accelerated deterioration in the electrolytic environment of bodily fluids leads to adverse effects due to hydrogen accumulation in-vivo and void formation at the defect location. Bioglass, a bioactive osteoconductive substance with suboptimal mechanical characteristics, can be combined with magnesium to enhance mechanical properties and adjustable degradability. This study focused on the development of a bioactive glass-reinforced magnesium composite to enhance machinable strength, reduce effective Youngs’ modulus, and improve in-vivo bioresorbability, serving as a template for skeletal tissue regeneration. X-ray diffraction and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy results show that the final product retains the essential physical features of both bioglass and magnesium. Energy-dispersive spectroscopy examination revealed the compositional distribution, while several microscopic analyses illustrated the microstructure of the synthesised composite. The developed material exhibits osteoconductivity and cytocompatibility; hence, the biocompatibility investigations may facilitate future applications.

The objective of this study was to synthesize and partially stabilize tialite (β-Al 2 TiO 5 ), a refractory ceramic material recognized for its high thermal shock resistance, low thermal conductivity, and low wettability with molten non-ferrous metals. This was accomplished by combining high-energy milling with a two-step sintering approach to promote a fine-grained microstructure and controlled porosity. Three Al 2 O 3 :TiO 2 molar ratios were investigated (55:35, 45:45, and 35:55), while maintaining a fixed addition of 10 mol.% MgO as a stabilizing agent. The results demonstrated that the composition with excess Al 2 O 3 exhibited superior densification and mechanical performance compared to the other ratios. The optimized specimens presented high relative density (3.19 ± 0.02 g cm −3 , 84.08 % relative density), low apparent porosity (05.50 ± 0.04 %), great tensile strength (11.17 MPa), and a refined microstructure with an average grain size below 2 μm. These findings highlight the effectiveness of combining high-energy milling and two-step sintering to produce stabilized tialite ceramics with enhanced structural integrity, providing a promising route for advanced refractory applications.

In this study, the alkaline treatment of wood dust with the help of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was performed and mixed with graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) to prepare epoxy composites. The matrix system used was two-part standard epoxy araldite (AW106 & HV953) and the weight percentage of wood dust as well as GNPs was varied to investigate their effect on thermal and mechanical properties. The change in molecular architecture after alkali treatment on wood dust was examined with the help of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Mechanical behavior was tested on a universal testing machine and thermal behavior was tested by thermo gravimetric analysis. The fracture surfaces were examined by field emission scanning electron microscope. Results indicate that addition of wood dust up to 2.5 wt.% concentration improves mechanical properties of epoxy composite and addition of GNPs up to 0.5 wt.% improves thermal as well as mechanical behaviour of the composite. The addition of GNPs provides good compatibility and surface structure to make uniform mixing of the nanoparticles. Hence, wood dust provides good option to make bio-composites with better and enhanced properties.

PDF downloaden

This study investigates the surface cladding of AISI 1020 low-carbon steel using the arc-DED (direct energy deposition) process with Rockit ® 431SR martensitic stainless-steel powder and AM 70 feedstock wire. The powder is overlaid onto the substrate surface and fused by the heat generated during the MIG (metal inert gas)-WAAM (wire arc additive manufacturing) process using AM 70 wire, forming a clad layer. The study evaluates the microhardness distribution, phase composition, residual stress, and electrochemical corrosion behavior of the Rockit ® 431SR + AM 70 clad, comparing it with the AISI 1020 substrate and AM 70-clad AISI 1020 without powder addition. The results show that the Rockit ® 431SR + AM 70 cladding significantly improves microhardness and corrosion resistance, making it a promising solution for industries requiring high wear and corrosion resistance. The findings include superior microhardness in the clad layers, compressive residual stress, and enhanced electrochemical properties, including higher corrosion potential and improved pitting resistance. It has been found that Rockit ® 431SR + AM 70 cladding offers enhanced durability and corrosion resistance compared to AM 70-clad AISI 1020 and the AISI 1020 substrate, enhancing its applicability across the automotive, marine, and infrastructure sectors.

Microstructural and microprobe analyses of as-cast and annealed alloys (1,000 °C for 61 h) revealed a new congruently melting Hf 0.45 Ti 0.55 Ni 2 compound in the Hf–Ti–Ni system. The compound forms two-phase equilibria with Hf 7 Ni 10 , Hf 3 Ni 7 , αHfNi 3 and TiNi 3 and exhibits a homogeneity range of 18–24 at.% Ti at 65 ± 0.5 at.% Ni. Its crystal structure was determined by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. Hf 0.45 Ti 0.55 Ni 2 crystallizes in a derivative of the Co 1.75 Ge prototype exhibiting statistical mixture of hafnium and titanium atoms on 2 d site and two 2 a , 2 c sites occupied by nickel atoms: PS hP 6, SG P 6 3 / mmc , a = 4.225(2), c = 5.044(4) Å. The Rietveld-refined composition, Hf 0.482(2) Ti 0.518(2) Ni 2 , is in close agreement with both the single-crystal X-ray diffraction data and the energy-dispersive X-ray analysis results. The homogeneity range of the compound Hf x Ti 1- x Ni 2 has been refined from powder X-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive X-ray data: (0.55 ≤ x ≤ 0.72), variation of the lattice parameters is the following: a = 4.2045(3) – 4.185(1), c = 5.0055(4) – 5.000(1) Å. The microstructure shows a characteristic twin morphology. The microhardness of the compound was measured as 1,160 ± 20 and 1,140 ± 60 H μ for single-phase as cast alloys containing 18 and 24 at.% Ti, respectively. Electronic structure calculations based on the LMTO method for the ordered model HfTiNi 4 ( P 6/ mmm ) indicate a metallic behavior with significant Ti–Ni, Hf–Ni, and Ti–Hf bonding interactions. The analysis of DOS and COHP indicates strong covalent contributions alongside Ni–Ni antibonding states, suggesting a complex hybrid metallic–covalent bonding nature that stabilizes the Hf–Ti–Ni three-dimensional network.

Photoluminescence and absorption characteristics of SWCNT–DNA membrane integrated with cellulose

12. März 2026

PDF downloaden

This current contribution reports the absorption and emission behavior of the single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)–DNA conjugate integrated with cellulose extracted from Philippine endemic plants. Microscopy analysis reveals that pristine SWCNTs formed bundles and exhibited insolubility in water. With the addition of cellulose extracted from corn husk and coconut coir, dispersion of nanotubes is evidently observed due to hydrophilic-hydrophobic interactions of cellulose and nanotubes respectively. When SWCNT–DNA is integrated with cellulose, a membrane-like structure is formed attributed to the interaction of DNA and cellulose in nanotube surfaces. Interestingly, photoluminescence reveals the stability of this membrane formed on glass surface leading to bright PL images. This behavior can be attributed to the hydrogen bonding interaction of cellulose and DNA, van der Waals forces with nanotubes, and the ionic interactions between charged components of DNA in the suspension and the cellulose. These findings could lead to advancements in biosensing applications, leveraging the unique properties of cellulose from Philippine endemic plants.

Multi-objective optimization of strength of additively manufactured acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) polymer

2. März 2026

PDF downloaden

The strength of parts produced by fused filament fabrication depends strongly on how the raster angles are arranged. While many studies have looked at conventional orientations such as 0°, 90°, and ±45°, very little work has examined systematic groupings of angles or how such groupings influence strength. In this study, a multi-objective optimization framework is implemented that combines classical lamination theory, the Tsai–Hill failure criterion, the Heat Transfer Search algorithm, and the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution ranking method to identify effective raster angle configurations for improving tensile/shear and flexural/torsion performance. Tensile and bending experiments are carried out to establish the applied load values for optimization and to validate the methodology. The optimization produced both standard and non-standard symmetric raster angle configurations that improved strength. This includes [0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0] S for axial-bending, [1 1 1 1 86 86 86 86] S and [0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0] S for tensile-bending in the y – x direction, [45 −45 −45 −45 −45 45 45 45] S for shear–torsion, and [−15 14 −15 14 −15 14 −15 14] S for tensile-torsion. The raster angle grouping study also showed how different layer arrangements can create either smooth or abrupt stress transitions across the thickness, giving useful insight into inter-layer bonding. Taken together, these results demonstrate that the proposed framework can be used to systematically tune raster orientations to improve the strength of fused filament fabricated acrylonitrile butadiene styrene parts, and may be extended to other additively manufactured components.

PDF downloaden

Multi-shelled hollow nanomaterials with diverse compositions and architectures have garnered significant attention due to their unique structural advantages, including high surface-to-volume ratios, tunable inner cavities, and enhanced physicochemical properties. While single-shelled hollow structures have been extensively explored, multi-shelled architectures offer superior functionality, making them promising candidates for advanced applications. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in the synthesis, classification, and biosensing applications of multi-shelled spherical nanomaterials. Various synthesis approaches, including hard templating, soft templating, sacrificial templating, and template-free methods, are critically analyzed with a focus on their advantages, limitations, and challenges. The potential of multi-shelled nanoparticles in biosensing is explored, particularly in electrode-based detection and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) techniques, enabling rapid, sensitive, and selective identification of harmful organisms, viruses, and contaminants. Furthermore, this review emphasizes the importance of developing greener, scalable, and cost-effective synthetic strategies to meet the growing demand for real-world applications. Future research directions are highlighted, including the integration of multi-shelled nanospheres into point-of-care diagnostic platforms, the design of multifunctional nanocomposites, and the enhancement of biosensing performance through novel hybrid materials. These advancements are expected to pave the way for next-generation biosensors capable of real-time, in vivo , and multiplexed detection, contributing significantly to healthcare, environmental monitoring, and food safety.
