Micromechanical mapping of polycrystalline cubic boron nitride composites by means of high-speed nanoindentation: Assessment of microstructural assemblage effects
(Elsevier, 2022-08-28)
Article
Open AccessPolycrystalline cubic boron nitrides (PcBNs) are composites widely used as cutting tool materials due to their exceptional high hardness and wear resistance. Investigation of their micromechanical properties is key for ... -
Valorization strategy for leather waste as filler for high-density polyethylene composites: analysis of the thermal stability, insulation properties and chromium leaching
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2021-10)
Article
Open AccessLeather waste (BF) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) were compounded in a lab scale internal mixer and processed by means of injection molding. In this study, leather waste and HDPE composites were characterized by ... -
Optimisation of knitted fabrics as visually concealing covers for textile-integrated photovoltaics
(2023-01-04)
Article
Open AccessIntegrating solar cells in textiles offers a promising path toward energy-autonomous wearable electronics, but their design requires careful optimisation between energy efficiency and visual aesthetics. For this purpose, ... -
Current state of cold atmospheric plasma and cancer-immunity cycle: therapeutic relevance and overcoming clinical limitations using hydrogels
(John Wiley & sons, 2023-01-20)
Article
Open AccessCold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is a partially ionized gas that gains attention as a well-tolerated cancer treatment that can enhance anti-tumor immune responses, which are important for durable therapeutic effects. This ... -
Wear resistance and friction analysis of Ti6Al4V cylindrical ball-burnished specimens with and without vibration assistance
(Springer Nature, 2023-02-01)
Article
Open AccessThe objective of the research is to analyze the impact of the ultrasonic vibration assistance on the wear resistance due to the topography enhancement caused on Ti6Al4V cylindrical samples after surface modification through ... -
A computational framework for micromechanical modelling of WC-Co composites
(Elsevier, 2023-02)
Article
Open AccessIn this study, the mechanical behavior under monotonic loads of tungsten carbide-cobalt (WC-Co) composites is investigated extensively by analyzing (1) nanoindentation tests on WC particles and Co matrix, (2) nanowires ... -
The effect of accelerated aging on the molecular weight and thermal and mechanical properties of polyester yarns containing ceramic particles
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-03-08)
Article
Open AccessThe accelerated aging of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) multifilament yarns containing nano or microparticles of titanium dioxide (TiO2), silicon carbide (SiC), or fluorite (CaF2) at a maximum percentage of 2% has been ... -
Surface competition between osteoblasts and bacteria on silver-doped bioactive titanium implant
(Elsevier, 2023-01-24)
Article
Open Access
Covenantee: Institut de Recerca Sant Joan de Déu / Institut de Bioenginyeria de Catalunya / AMESThe rapid integration in the bone tissue and the prevention of bacterial infection are key for the success of the implant. In this regard, a silver (Ag)-doped thermochemical treatment that generate an Ag-doped calcium ... -

Observation of heterogeneities in elastocaloric natural/wastes rubber composites
(2022-12-01)
Article
Open AccessThe strain-induced crystallization and elastocaloric properties of various natural rubber (NR)/ground tire rubber (GTR) blends, comprising waste particles of diverse sizes and contents, were investigated. The decreasing ... -
Experimental validation of ball burnishing numerical simulation on ball-end milled martensitic stainless-steel considering friction and the initial surface topography
(Elsevier, 2023-01)
Article
Open AccessNumerous simplified numerical models have been established to optimize the ball burnishing of steel surfaces. Nevertheless, their conceptualization has not considered the tool–part interaction, leading to an unsatisfactory ... -
Trackability of distal access catheters: An in vitro quantitative evaluation of navigation strategies
(2022-04-21)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyBackground In mechanical thrombectomy (MT), distal access catheters (DACs) are tracked through the vascular anatomy to reach the occlusion site. The inability of DACs to reach the occlusion site has been reported as a ...
