The resulting GM structure significantly raises the toughness of Ti/Mo NMMs without reducing their peak hardness. High back stress developed from the plastic incompatibilities stemmed from aggravated microstructural heterogeneity is primarily responsible for the unprecedented synergy of hardness and toughness. Our findings provide a promising approach to concurrently strengthen and toughen NMMs.","PeriodicalId":18341,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77902724","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}

Contrary to this conventional picture, we report in this manuscript that the Mo induced LLD in dilute Ti-Mo solid solution is highly non-uniform as evidenced by our first principles calculations. The non-uniform LLD is ascribed to the Jahn-Teller splitting of the degenerated d states of Mo atom. We propose that the substitutional solid solutions with non-uniform LLD should satisfy two conditions. With which, the solid-solutions suffering from non-uniform LLD are predicted. The non-uniform LLD is expected to result in non-spherical stress field around the solute atom, and, therefore, challenges the application of classical solid solution hardening model to this kind of solid solutions.","PeriodicalId":18341,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89702941","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}

Temperature regimes for heating asphalt concrete pavement are one of the key technological parameters that affect the quality of the output regenerated asphalt concrete. In order to establish the dependence of the temperature of the pavement heating at different depths on the heating time, field studies are carried out directly when performing work on the hot regeneration of asphalt concrete using the Reshape method. The work is carried out at an ambient temperature of 25–30 °C and calm weather. The regenerated hot asphalt mix, which is used when conducting studies on the grain composition and bitumen content, corresponded to a hot, fine-grained mixture, dense asphalt concrete, type A, continuous granulometry, grade II, in accordance with DSTU B V.2.7-119:2011. Content of residual bitumen loosened asphalt crumb is 6.0 %. During the research, measurements are carried out at different speeds (1.8 m/min and 2.1 m/min) of the thermal installation for heating the Wirtgen HM 4500 asphalt concrete pavement (country of origin is Germany). The obtained graphical dependencies and mathematical models make it possible to determine that the most optimal pavement heating mode is gradual heating. This mode will allow avoiding the burning of bitumen and provide pavement heating at the level of the base of the regenerated layer, which is very important when determining the temperature of mixing the mixture. Analysis of graphs and mathematical models suggests that a decrease in the temperature of the pavement heating by at least 10–20 °C will lead to an increase in the performance of the thermal device. In this case, the increase in productivity can be from 20 % to 25 %, which will reduce the gas consumption and, accordingly, the cost of work. Thus, the obtained dependencies can be used to optimize the process of hot asphalt concrete regeneration by the in-place method.","PeriodicalId":18341,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89877341","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}

Foremost amongst these adaptations is production of the defensive pigments melanins and carotenoids. A particularly important question is their metabolic production cost. However, this investigation has been hindered by a relatively poor systems-level understanding of E. dermatitidis metabolism. To address this challenge, a genome-scale model (iEde2091) was developed. Using iEde2091, carotenoids were found to be more expensive to produce than melanins. Given their overlapping protective functions, this suggests that carotenoids have an underexplored yet important role of photo-protection under high-energy visible light. Furthermore, multiple defensive pigments with overlapping functions might allow E. dermatitidis to minimize cost. Because iEde2091 revealed that E. dermatitidis synthesizes the same melanins as humans and the active sites of the key tyrosinase enzyme are highly conserved, this model may enable a broader understanding of melanin production across kingdoms.","PeriodicalId":18341,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77374936","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}

Brudno","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3542984","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3542984","url":null,"abstract":"Injectable alginate hydrogels have demonstrated utility in tissue engineering and drug delivery applications due in part to their mild gelation conditions, low host responses and chemical versatility. Recently, the potential of these gels has expanded with the introduction of refillable hydrogel depots - alginate gels chemically decorated with click chemistry groups to efficiently capture prodrug refills from the blood. Unfortunately, high degrees of click group substitution on alginate lead to poor viscoelastic properties and loss of ionic cross-linking. In this work, we introduce tetrabicyclononyne (tBCN) agents that covalently cross-link azide-modified alginate hydrogels for tissue engineering and drug delivery application in vivo. Adjusting cross-linker concentration allowed tuning the hydrogel mechanical properties for tissue-specific mechanical strength. The bioorthogonal and specific click reaction creates stable hydrogels with improved in vivo properties, including improved retention at injected sites. Azide-alginate hydrogels cross-linked with tBCN elicited minimal inflammation and maintained structural integrity over several months and efficiently captured therapeutics drug surrogates from the circulation. Taken together, azide-alginate hydrogels cross-linked with tBCN convey the benefits of alginate hydrogels for use in tissue engineering and drug delivery applications of refillable drug delivery depots. Statement of Significance Ionically cross-linked, injectable alginate biomaterials hold promise in many different clinical settings. However, adding new chemical functionality to alginate can disrupt their ionic cross-linking, limiting their utility. We have developed a \"click\" cross-linking strategy to improve the mechanical properties and tissue function of modified alginate biomaterials and enable them to capture small molecule drugs from the blood. We show that click cross-linked materials remain in place better than ionically cross-linked materials and efficiently capture payloads from the blood. Development of click cross-linking for refillable depots represents a crucial step toward clinical application of this promising drug delivery platform.","PeriodicalId":18341,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85013827","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}

After thermo-mechanical treatments, this alloy exhibits a tensile strength of 463 MPa and elongation of over 40% which are comparable to other expensive HEAs. A miniature-designed dog-bone specimen for in-situ SEM/EBSD measurements was successfully employed to study the underlying deformation mechanisms of the alloy, exhibiting the double-fiber 〈111〉 and 〈001〉 texture typical of TWIP steels. Nano-, meso- and macro-scale studies revealed that the excellent combination of strength and ductility of this newly-developed cost-effective fcc-structured HEA is originated from the formation of stacking faults and nano-twins during tensile deformation. This newly-developed alloy also exhibits good corrosion resistance in the following solutions: NaCl > NaOH > H2SO4 > HCl. The corrosion resistance was mostly found to be dependent on the amount of Mn-oxide in the passive film formed on the surface of the alloy. This work, following the non-equiatomic HEA design strategy, develops a cost-effective HEA with a good combination of mechanical with corrosion properties, which will trigger more investigations.","PeriodicalId":18341,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81731955","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}

This segregation mechanism can thermally stabilize the microstructure against precipitate coarsening processes and allow for higher operating temperatures in structural applications. In this paper, we develop a phase-field modeling framework to describe IB solute segregation in ternary alloys. The interfacial thermodynamics is effectively described by defining an IB phase with a characteristic free energy-concentration dependence. Equilibrium for the IB phase is established via the parallel tangent plane construction, analogous to classical treatments for segregation to free surfaces and grain boundaries. Analytic steady-steady solutions elucidating the dependence of IB properties on bulk phase composition, temperature and model parameters are derived for a one-dimensional system. Analytic relations for the classical thermodynamic quantities–IB energy and relative solute excess–are derived and the Gibbs adsorption equation is shown to hold; therefore, predictions of the model can be compared with experiments and atomistic simulations. An application of the model is demonstrated for Zn segregation to Mg/Mg2Sn using representative IB parameters. A two-particle coarsening simulation of IB segregation is performed: the result demonstrates enhanced coarsening resistance of the ternary alloy relative to the binary alloy.","PeriodicalId":18341,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90528011","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}

To prevent thrombosis, rapid endothelialization of the lumen of stent is the most critical approaches. In this study, we explored a controlled release covered stent with core-shell nanofibers via emulsion electrospinning for treating aneurysms. By encapsulating atorvastatin calcium (Atv) within the core of poly (L-lactide-co-caprolactone) (PLCL) nanofibers, the release period of Atv was effectively extended. The morphology and inner-structure of the core-shell nanofibers were respectively observed by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The release of atorvastatin calcium from the nanofiber lasted for more than 10 weeks without serious initial burst release. The nanofiber films could keep complete morphology after degraded for 3 months. The study demonstrated that atorvastatin calcium promoted the synthesis of nitric oxide (NO) in HUVECs and further the proliferation of HUVECs in vitro. Animal studies showed that PLCL-Atv covered stent could separate the aneurysm dome from the blood circulation and obliterate aneurysm. Moreover, the release of Atv could promote the proliferation of HUVECs on nanofiber films and induction of rapid endothelialization.","PeriodicalId":18341,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science eJournal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73655970","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}
