However, the bone regenerative potential of many CaP bone graft substitutes requires further improvements. The bioactivity of CaPs is regulated by a variety of properties, including their chemical composition and (surface) structural properties. In this study, we performed a comprehensive characterization of six CaP ceramics that had been previously tested in several in vitro and in vivo studies, allowing us to in silico distinguish osteoinductive and non-osteoinductive CaP ceramics. The numerical parameters obtained from this characterization were further correlated with osteogenesis-associated gene expression and pathways of osteoblastic MG63 cells cultured on these six CaP ceramics. The results showed, among others, the influence of both chemical and structural parameters on cytoskeleton- and extracellular matrix-related gene expression and osteogenesis-associated pathways such as MAPK and BMP. The bioinformatics approach presented here allows exploring the transcriptional landscape induced by CaP ceramics and gaining fundamental knowledge about cell-biomaterial interactions.","PeriodicalId":32608,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Materials Science and Engineering","volume":"287 1","pages":"499 - 530"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80297426","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}

In this study, the laser beam-powder bed fusion process (LPBF) has been used to develop an in-situ alloying process for the additive manufacturing of a permanent magnet material of the Fe–Cr–Co system. This novel method allows for the production of complex alloys with a chemical composition suited to each specific case of application, achieved by using elemental powders or simpler commercial alloy powders as base materials. The core focus of this study has been on the development and characterization of the printing process using a Fe-30.5Cr-15Co-1.5Mo alloy. The in-situ alloying process has been developed by performing melt pool tests on the two main component powders Fe and Cr and by conducting parameter studies using two different powder mixtures with different sphericity of their components. The influence of different printing parameters and post-printing treatments on the chemical homogeneity and magnetic properties has been studied for selected samples. In addition, magnetic measurements at different temperatures have been performed to investigate the temperature stability of the magnetic properties of the 3D printed material. Impact Statement As by today, the current amount of research done on the additive manufacturing of magnetic materials is rather low. Most of research is focused on rare- earth containing magnetic materials. In this work therefore, we are taking another direction in which we will show that LPBF combined with in- situ alloying is an ideal method for the production of a great variety of different rare- earth free magnetic materials. The positive results of our work can both have an influence on the the scientific community, as further research in the field on different promising rare- earth free magnetic materials is to be expected. Furthermore, a positiv economic impact may occur since the production of rare- earth free magnetic materials is dependent on different raw material sources which are both more cost- effectiv and less critical in terms of their supply chain. This effect is also accompanied by a positive environmental impact, since the mining of rare- earth metals usually comes with considerable environmental pollution.","PeriodicalId":32608,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Materials Science and Engineering","volume":"14 1","pages":"475 - 497"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89552420","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}

Early detection and qualification would improve safety and reduce the cost of repair. In this context, structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques have been developed that could monitor a structure at any time by using a network of sensors. Widely used discrete ceramic transducers can generate and sense Lamb waves travelling in the structure. Wave propagation must then be analysed for effective damage identification. An effective SHM system is desired to meet several demands, such as minimised weight penalty, non-intrusive system not interfering with the structure performance, cost-effectiveness for implementation with targeted sensitivity and area coverage, capability of monitoring non-accessible and critical hot spot regions, robustness, and reliability. This review starts with an introduction on Lamb waves fundamentals and their use in SHM, and then particularly focuses on methods using piezoelectric transducers and mode selection. Some relevant applications on different structural configurations are discussed. Finally, recent developments on piezoelectric coating and direct-write sensor technology for tailored transducers are highlighted with some thoughts for near future research work.","PeriodicalId":32608,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Materials Science and Engineering","volume":"20 1","pages":"436 - 474"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78482945","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}

In this study, the use of benzoyl peroxide as a peptizer to lower the molecular weight of natural rubber has been reported. The properties of natural rubber-based solvent adhesive produced by mechanical mastication and peptizer were also compared. Natural rubber (NR) was masticated in a two-roll mill at 80oC for 30 mins and was processed into adhesive using xylene as solvent. Similarly, adhesives were formulated by chemical break down of the heavy natural rubber molecules using benzoyl peroxide as peptizer. The peptizer loading was varied from 0.2 – 1.0 parts per hundred rubber (phr) of rubber at 100oC in a water bath while other compounding additives were kept constants for all samples under study. The adhesives produced were subjected to the following test: viscosity, lap shear test, T-peel test and drying time test. Other properties studied are weathering resistance, heat resistance and effect of moisture on the adhesives bond on different substrates. The result shows that the viscosity of the adhesives increases with increasing peptizer loading and the masticated sample has a viscosity slightly lower than that of 0.8phr and 1.0phr peptizer loading. Furthermore, T-peel test shows that 0.4 phr peptizer loading has a better average T-peel strength for the bonds while the masticated sample had the least average T-peel strength when compared with all samples. The sample with 1.0phr peptizer loading had the least decrease in shear strength while the 0.2 peptizer loading had the maximum decrease in shear strength. Finally, the FT-IR spectra shows similarities in spectra but with difference in the intensity of the peaks, indicating the ability of the benzoyl peroxide to effectively oxidize the natural rubber as compared with the mechanical masticated sample. The peak of 1080 cm-1 in the peptized sample indicates a major difference with the spectra of mechanical masticated sample. Generally, the benzoyl peroxide effectively lowered the molecular weight of the natural rubber which is evident in the viscosity, reduced process time and ease of the adhesive formulation.","PeriodicalId":32608,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Materials Science and Engineering","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44857839","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}

Lightweight aggregates are one of the alternatives has meet industry demand with low apparent density, excellent thermal insulation property and fire protection. Unfortunately, lightweight aggregate has a high-water absorption rate, which results in low strength and high porosity. These conditions had a negative impact on the qualities of fresh concrete, such as strength, slump, and cracking. Surface coating is thought to be a good way to prevent water absorption by lightweight particles, which lowers the concrete's performance. To reinforce the concrete, inorganic polymer composite material and cement were commonly employed to coat lightweight particles.
