Bone tissue and biocompatibility are emerging as an alternative approach to regenerating bone due to some distinct advantages over autografting. This research aimed to fabricate a novel porous scaffold that can be utilized as a bone substitute. Zn-nHApx-Srx (x = 0, 3, 6, 9) was selected by different weight ratios and synthesized using the powder metallurgy method. The utilization of nanohydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) is due to its excellent biocompatibility with the human body. Polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) is incorporated to get enhanced biological performance. Plasma spray coating was performed on a zinc substrate using pure and doped biocomposites calcined at 800 °C. The biocomposites tensile strength increased between 0.4 and 19.8 MPa by increasing Zn and Sr weight ratios. In addition, 3% Sr/2.5% Zn with 2% of nHAp-PLGA composite showed improved hardness, which is beneficial for resembling bone tissue and die-casting fittings in automobile manufacturing applications. Mechanical properties, FT-IR, hot deformation behaviour, and SEM techniques help us understand the behaviour of Zn-Sr-nHAp in a vial containing PLGA. The highest ultimate tensile strength of 182 MPa and improved flow softening behaviour are achieved in a coated Zn/6% (nHAp-Sr) mixture suitable for biodegradable implant applications.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"565 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85729144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An in-house induction-assisted hot embossing (IHE) setup was fabricated to complete the embossing in a short duration as compared to traditional hot embossing process. This work alters the polymer surface topography to make it superhydrophobic for self-cleaning. Fiber laser machining was used to produce four-microchannel designs on an Aluminum-6061 plate in which the microchannel width was varied from 600 μ m to 150 μ m while maintaining a constant adjacent distance of 300 μ m. This textured plate is employed as a mold in the IHE setup. IHE process parameters, embossing temperature, pressure, time, and deembossing temperature were varied to emboss the mold designs on a polyethylene terephthalate substrate. Thereafter, the embossed microchannel height, surface roughness, and water contact angle perpendicular to the embossed microchannels (WCA ⟂ ) were calculated. The parametric analysis examined how operational factors affected the output. The experiment was done as per the central composite design (experimental design) part of the design-of-experiments useful in the response surface model. Parametric research demonstrates that embossed microchannel height and width had a maximum effect on WCA ⟂ . Type-IV microchannels with 150 μ m width demonstrated the highest WCA ⟂ . The WCA ⟂ was mostly impacted by embossed microchannel height; hence a regression model was created using type-IV channel height data. Analysis of variance showed that embossing temperature mainly impacts microchannel height. The recently invented Jaya-algorithm optimized this model to increase embossed microchannel height and WCA ⟂ . Setting the parameters at the best level predicted by Jaya-algorithm yielded an embossed microchannel height inaccuracy of 2.18%.

Porous structure could store lubricant but also make PPI materials difficult to be strengthened by most fillers, because fillers will destroy the pore structure and reduce the strength significantly. Rare-earth compounds (RECs) have high surface activity, which allow them to bond well with polymer. In this study, the tribological properties of REC modified PPIs were investigated using a ball-on-disc tribometer, along with an analysis of oil-impregnated properties, including oil content, oil retention, oil contact angle and oil absorption speed. The mechanical properties, including hardness (Shore D), impact strength and tensile strength, were tested to evaluate the effect of RECs. The results show that CeF3 and LaF3 fillers can lead to an increase of about 40% in oil content of PPI. PrF3 modified PPI were found to have better oleophilic properties, as the oil contact angle reduced 33% compared with pure PPI and oil retention could reach 88% after 120 min centrifugation. Moreover, PrF3 can enhance the surface hardness, impact strength and wear resistance performance of PPI despite a slight decrease in tensile strength. Better oil-impregnation and mechanical properties of PPI modified by PrF3 effectively reduce the friction and wear.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75519799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surface roughness features and lubricant rheology plays a vital role in thin film lubrication, and significantly affects the lubrication performance and lifetime of machine components. The present work demonstrates surface topography and lubricant rheology effects on the traction coefficient for heavily loaded non-conformal contacts. The load-sharing concept considering elastic-plastic deformation of asperities, and Carreau shear-thinning rheological model is employed to describe the dry rough contacts and non-Newtonian behavior of lubricant. An influence of surface topography parameters such as roughness, skewness, kurtosis, and pattern ratio on the traction coefficient is discussed. From results, it is found that among different surface topographies, negatively skewed surfaces having isotropic surface pattern exhibit minimum traction coefficient. The load share function and the critical rolling speed are determined for various surface topographies which provides further insights into the surface topography effect on traction coefficient. The findings of present study are noteworthy as they provide a theoretical basis for an assessment of the lubrication performance of heavily loaded non-conformal contacts.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82731020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The high density and fine grain size of the coating deposited with a reactive N2 flow of 25 sccm resulted in the highest hardness (24.8 ± 1.8 GPa) and the best corrosion resistance.

AM processes can optimize the internal geometry of cooling channels, which is generally constrained by limitations of conventional machining processes. The AM process gives rise to surface textures that depend on the build and scan orientations that also potentially contribute to heat-transfer characteristics and provide additional considerations for optimization. The motivation behind this research work is to explore the correlation between AM roughness characteristics (build-orientations, density of spatter deposits and their sizes, amplitudes/wavelengths, etc) and the resulting effect on heat transfer and pressure drop across cooling channels. In this study, the actual AM surfaces with different build angles were fabricated using Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) and the roughness data of these surfaces were acquired. These measured surface topographies were used for developing simplified surfaces for the purposes of CFD simulations. Modeled AM surfaces with different build orientations were used to analyze the effect of built orientation and spatter deposits in terms of heat transfer for different flow conditions. The CFD simulations also informed the design of the experimental set-up for the validation of computational results. For the comparison, a reference smooth surface is machined from forged Inconel-625 for experiments and CFD simulations were also carried out for the validation. Results from CFD simulations show that the surface features (such as build angles and spatter deposits) significantly affect the heat transfer and fluid flow in terms of Nusselt number and pressure drop and the surface area impact on heat transfer is minimal in all the cases for both laminar and turbulent flow conditions. Under turbulent flow conditions, transverse track alignment shows the highest efficiency in terms of the Nusselt number and adding particles improves heat transfer efficiency for smooth and parallel-tracked surfaces. However, when the flow becomes laminar, reversed behavior is observed and surfaces show downside effects in terms of Nu. Also we define a performance factor that assesses the combined effects of both the thermal and the fluid flow characteristics to differentiate the performance of the AM channels.","PeriodicalId":22028,"journal":{"name":"Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90804362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
