Compared with traditional eddy current loss, under low frequency the two methods has same result, but under high frequency the new model can be more accurately calculate the eddy current loss of rod-shaped GMM.

Demands to the application of these prostheses require hard and tough materials like cobalt-chrome alloys or ceramics. The cutting process is governed by static as well as dynamic interactions between the process and the structure of the workpiece. These interactions deteriorate the work result, especially the shape accuracy. The deflection of the milling tool is one effect, which has a significant influence. However, the deflection can be minimised by optimising the manufacturing strategy, by an adjustment of the process parameters or by optimising the tool path, which leads to an increased quality of the final product. The work presented in this paper aims to establish a connection between tool deflection and resulting form deviations during micro-milling of defined geometries in CoCr alloys. This is achieved by measuring the active forces while machining an defined test geometry with different feed rates and radial infeeds and a subsequent evaluation of the resulting form. Furthermore, the influence of the workpiece geometry on the forces and form deviations is analysed to serve as a foundation for future optimisation steps. In order to quantify the surface quality, white light interferometry is applied to measure the surface roughness Sa and Sq and the influence of feed rate vf and radial infeed ae on the surface roughness is derived.","PeriodicalId":14170,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nanomanufacturing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48005173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

SEM and TEM evaluations revealed relatively less damage in fractured surfaces and the TGA exhibited insignificant change of CNFs during thermal decomposition. The 'solid' CNFs showed clear properties as disorder, crystalline, and bent graphitic sheets. The as-prepared CNTs demonstrated good MW-absorption properties with superior performance which could be due to the combination of the dielectric-type absorption and the interference of multi-reflected MW. This enhancement gave 97% purity of the novel manufactured CNFs. Therefore, we recommend our greener nanoproducts for industries as energy, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, textile, sensors, electronics, vehicles, and both of quantum dots (QD) and fluorescent C-dots.","PeriodicalId":14170,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nanomanufacturing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46897822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to investigate the effect of ZrO2 content on the morphology of PVDF/PAN/ZrO2 composite fibrous membranes, which showed that the diameter is only 0.8 μm when the ZrO2 is 0.4%. It could be attributed to the enhancement of solution conductivity by ZrO2 addition. Nitrogen adsorption based on Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) principle was employed to measure the specific surface area, which indicated that the specific surface area increased about 1.8 times for composite membranes compared to the PVDF/PAN membrane when the ZrO2 content was 0.4%. The tensile strength of fibrous membranes increased from 2.74 of pure PVDF/PAN to 5.11 MPa of PVDF/PAN/ZrO2 when the ZrO2 content was 0.4%. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results showed that the crystallinity and orientation enhanced with increasing of ZrO2, which was beneficial to improve the tensile strength. The Tg and Tc shifted to high temperature with ZrO2 increases, which demonstrated that ZrO2 promoted the heterogeneous nucleation and formed perfect crystal structure.","PeriodicalId":14170,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nanomanufacturing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46274679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The SEM result showed that AgVO3/TiO2 NACF exhibited a well nanorod array structure, and some AgVO3 nanocrystals were deposited on the TiO2 nanorods. The novel AgVO3/TiO2 NACF showed the enhanced visible photocatalytic activity for degradation of methyl orange (MO) compared with the pure TiO2 nanorod array film. The deposition of AgVO3 nanocrystals on the TiO2 nanorod array led to the improved visible light absorption of the composite film due to the narrow bandgap of AgVO3 (less than 2.5 eV). The contact of AgVO3 and TiO2 resulted in the formation of semiconductor heterostructure, which led to the enhanced separation of photogenerated carriers. The improved visible absorption and efficient separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs should result in the higher visible activity of composite film compared with pure TiO2 nanorod array film.","PeriodicalId":14170,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nanomanufacturing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44501590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effect of flow on crystallisation is considered through the mathematical relationship between the additional number of nuclei induced by shear treatment and the first normal stress difference. Avrami model is used to describe the crystallisation kinetics. Normalised viscosity, orientation factor and extra stress are simulated with the development of crystallinity. It is found that the short-term shear treatment has a great effect on the crystallisation dynamics of polyethylene, and a small amount of crystallinity cause a strong increase of shear viscosity. Beyond a specific shear strain the stress increases dramatically, which indicate the solidification of the material and the locking-in of stresses.","PeriodicalId":14170,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Nanomanufacturing","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46112851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The as-prepared N-PPCF had a high specific surface area of 1,218.5 m2 g−1, an average pore size of 1.36 nm, and a pore volume value of 0.50 cm3 g−1. Additionally, the N-PPCF had a nitrogen content of 8.1%, allowing for a high specific capacitance of 150.1 F g−1 at a density of 1.0 A g−1. Even at 4 A g−1, the N-PPCF still maintained an ideal capacitance of 115.6 F g−1.
