Using nanofibers as materials for mineral nutrients aims to increase the efficiency of contact release of the fertilizer to the plant root in the soil. Poly lactic acid (PLA) is a polymer with biocompatibility characteristics and spinning conditions. The starch biopolymer combined with PLA can improve the biodegradation properties and hydrophilicity of the fibers and allow the solubilization of the fertilizer source for the plant. Thus, the present paper sought to find a polymeric matrix in the form of PLA/starch nanofibers that could act in the release of the mineral micronutrient manganese as a model asset. The electrospinning method was employed to obtain the fibers varying the starch concentration from 10 to 50% (w/w) in the polymeric matrix. The nanocomposite containing manganese carbonate as a source of Mn2+ ions was produced from the best membrane composition. The results showed that the analyzed PLA/starch blends with 20% (w/w) provided better fiber affinity with water, which is fundamental for fiber degradation time. Regarding fertilizer release, the starch present in the PLA fiber at a concentration of 20% (m/m) promoted better control in the release of Mn2+. The total release occurred after 5 d in contact with the 2% citric acid extractive medium. Thus, PLA/starch fiber becomes an alternative in the packaging of particulate fertilizers, providing increased contact area during root application with gradual delivery of mineral nutrients and minimizing loss by leaching.","PeriodicalId":7670,"journal":{"name":"AIMS Materials Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70089689","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 total power consumption during machining includes the power consumed by the machine itself and the power used to remove the material from the workpiece. An accurate prediction of energy consumption during the machining process is the basis for energy reduction. In this study, the specific cutting energy and surface finish for low and moderate-speed orthogonal machining of the aluminum alloy 2014 are evaluated. The measured values for the specific cutting energy and surface roughness are presented as maps on a grid, which is based on the machining parameters including the following: (1) cutting speed and (2) undeformed chip thickness. The specific cutting energy map depicts low energy consumption values of 0.52 J/mm3 for the aluminum alloy 2014 at medium speed machining. The roughness maps depict high roughness values at high cutting speeds. Both maps help in optimizing the machining process to achieve a required surface roughness with minimal energy consumption. A review of a specific cutting energy map demonstrates that energy consumption decreases by increasing the cutting speeds. The decrease in energy consumption at moderate speeds corresponds to the low cutting forces. This potentially happens as a result of thermal softening of the material caused by adiabatic heating. This subsequently leads to an increase in the machinability of the aluminum alloy 2014 at moderate cutting speeds. Furthermore, the decreasing chip thickness and increasing shear angle as a result of increasing the cutting speed confirms the increased machinability of the workpiece at moderate speeds.","PeriodicalId":7670,"journal":{"name":"AIMS Materials Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70090493","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}

Tsioptsias","doi":"10.3934/matersci.2023035","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3934/matersci.2023035","url":null,"abstract":"Thermodynamic properties of matter e.g., melting point, are important for various applications. However, in some substances the primary observed effect upon heating is decomposition which in some cases is accompanied by fluidization. Thus, it would be very useful to be able to predict if a given substance will be able to melt or will exhibit melting inability upon heating. In this work, a thermodynamic explanation for the melting inability of molecular solids is provided and a corresponding criterion is proposed for the prediction of melting ability or inability of a given substance. One key concept is to study the strength of the weakest chemical bond rather than overall enthalpy of reaction. This arises from the fact that if decomposition occurs, then, regardless of the extent of decomposition, the transition cannot be considered to be melting. The criterion can be combined with sophisticated modeling in order to derive accurate values. Here, a simple method is proposed and an approximate index is developed which allows for a rapid and massive implementation of the criterion. The index is based on the concept of group contributions methods (estimation of the enthalpy of the maximum possible interactions, ${mathit{Delta}} H_{max }$) and on a distorted version of Trouton's rule (correlation of $ {mathit{Delta}} H_{max }$ with the heat required for melting). The correlation factor (${x}_{melting}$) was found to be equal to 40.6%. The index is successfully applied in various organic substances, including (bio)molecules of pharmaceutical/nutraceutical interest. Index values between −30 and 0 correspond to marginal cases of rather high uncertainty. Positive index values clearly point out melting inability. The proposed index successfully predicts the melting ability/inability in more than 80% of the studied substances.","PeriodicalId":7670,"journal":{"name":"AIMS Materials Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70090575","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 article is devoted to the study of the effect of preliminary recrystallization annealing on the carbidization of the tungsten surface in a beam-plasma discharge (BPD), which is one of the ways to simulate the peripheral plasma of a tokamak. Experiments on preliminary isochoric and isothermal annealing of tungsten samples were carried out in the mode of direct heating of tungsten samples by an electron beam. The carbidization of tungsten samples after annealing was carried out in a methane atmosphere in the BPD at a temperature of 1000 ℃ for a duration of 3600 s. Optical microscopy (OM) and X-ray diffraction were used to analyze the structure of the tungsten surface. It has been established that differences in the structure arising during recrystallization annealing affect the transfer of carbon atoms in the near-surface area of tungsten and the formation of tungsten carbides (WC or W2C).","PeriodicalId":7670,"journal":{"name":"AIMS Materials Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70090384","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}

First, the resin films with 0.4 and 0.8 percent of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were manufactured using solvent casting process. Then, these films were used to fabricate composites using resin film infusion process. Mechanical characterization tests, namely tensile, flexural and short beam, were performed.
