TiO2 is selected in this research, due to its high photocatalytic activity, high stability and low cost. Metal doping has proved to be a successful approach for enhancing the photocatalytic efficiency of photocatalysts. Photocatalytic products can be applied in the building sector, using both building materials as a matrix, but also in fabrics. In this study undoped and Mn-In, Mn-Cu, In-Ni, Mn-Ni bimetallic doped TiO2 nanostructures were synthesized using the microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. Decolorization efficiency of applied nanocoatings on fabrics and 3-D printed sustainable blocks made from recycled building materials was studied, both under UV as well as visible light for Methylene Blue (MB), using a self-made depollution and self-cleaning apparatus. Nanocoated samples showed high MB decolorization and great potential in self-cleaning applications. Results showed that the highest MB decolorization for both applications were observed for 0.25 at% Mn-In doped TiO2. For the application of 3-D printed blocks Mn-In and In-Ni doped TiO2 showed the highest net MB decolorization, 25.1 and 22.6%, respectively. For the application of nanocoated fabrics, three samples (Mn-In, In-Ni and Mn-Cu doped TiO2) showed high MB decolorization (58.1, 52.7 and 47.6%, respectively) under indirect sunlight, while under UV light the fabric coated with Mn-In and In-Ni doped TiO2 showed the highest MB decolorization rate 26.1 and 24.0%, respectively.","PeriodicalId":7670,"journal":{"name":"AIMS Materials Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70088934","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}

Molecular dynamics simulations are incorporated to monitor the process and a numerical database is created with the results. We show that the movement of ions in water nanochannels under the effect of an electric field is multifactorial. Potential energy regions of various strength are formed inside the nanochannel, and ions are either drifted to the walls and rejected from the solution or form clusters that are trapped inside low potential energy regions. Further computational investigation is made with the incorporation of machine learning techniques that suggest an alternative path to predict the water/ion solution properties. Our test procedure here involves the calculation of diffusion coefficient values and the incorporation of four ML algorithms, for comparison reasons, which exploit MD calculated results and are trained to predict the diffusion coefficient values in cases where no simulation data exist. This two-fold computational approach constitutes a fast and accurate solution that could be adjusted to similar ion separation models for property extraction.","PeriodicalId":7670,"journal":{"name":"AIMS Materials Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70089349","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 paper describes the agglomeration and dissolution behavior of differently sized α-Fe2O3 NPs in the simplest biological solutions. The average sizes of the initial NPs according to the BET analysis are 12, 32, and 115 nm. Within 30–60 min exposure, the particle size and concentration of iron released into the solutions increases in the suspensions, accompanied by an intensive change of NPs surface charge. After an hour of exposure, the colloidal properties do not change significantly, although the dissolution degree ambiguously fluctuates. It has been shown that the agglomeration of the particles in the simplest pulmonary fluid is lower than in the simplest sweat fluid, compared to the dissolution degree, which is much higher in the pulmonary fluid than in the sweat. The colloidal stability of suspensions reduces with a decrease of NPs' size, e.g., the average size of particles is 315,289, and 248 nm, while zeta potential is 2, 9, and 17 mV, respectively for 12, 32, and 115 nm NPs in 3-hour suspensions. It has been found that 24 h dissolution degree of α-Fe2O3 NPs reaches 2.3% and 0.4%, respectively, in the simplest pulmonary and sweat fluids.

Its contribution to the priority \"light-weighting\" driver in the transport sector is key. The efficiency of the industry is made possible by the evolution of manufacturing processes that also improve the performance of the products obtained. For example, out-of-autoclave (OOA) processes can obtain high-performance composites such as those obtained by the autoclave process at lower costs. A key aspect in the development of this type of process is the preforming of continuous fibre reinforcements, which can achieve high fibre percentages while facilitating processing. Manufacturing these preforms currently requires multiple steps, equipment and tooling. TECNALIA's work developing the ADDICOMP technology, an alternative preform manufacturing method using an additive process based on Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) is detailed in this article. This development is patented by Tecnalia and was conducted in 2 phases: (a) development of continuous fibre filaments coated with polymeric material and printable by FDM and (b) fine-tuning of FDM technology to print filaments with a very high content of continuous fibre.","PeriodicalId":7670,"journal":{"name":"AIMS Materials Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70088729","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}

Creasing is a folding method of a carton sheet in which a score (called as a ruled line) is made at the bent portion. When making a creased line on a resin sheet, the scored sheet thickness decreases by applying half cutting or creasing (pressing) at the bent portion to make it easier to fold. To smoothly process a folding line on the resin sheet, a dashed line using a perforation blade is sometimes considered. The pitch length of the dashed line, and its nicked (uncut) length, affect the crease bending characteristics of the resin sheet scored by the perforation blade. However, only a limited number of studies have analyzed the dashed line bending moment response. In this study, to clarify the bending formability of a 0.5-mm-thick PP sheet indented by a developed perforation blade, first, the influence of the perforation pitch length on the crease bending characteristics of a scored PP sheet was investigated from a 0.5-mm fine pitch up to an 8-mm commercially sold pitch with a cutting-to-pitch length ratio of 50%. Second, the nicked zone depth against the cutting tip was set as 50% of the 0.5-mm thickness of the PP sheet. Furthermore, it was revealed that burrs (wedged bottom) in the cut part of the perforated (dashed) line affected the bending moment resistance in the folding process of the scored PP sheet, when changing the indentation depth of the perforation blade.","PeriodicalId":7670,"journal":{"name":"AIMS Materials Science","volume":"63 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70089127","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 avoid this problem, steel rebars can be replaced with glass-fiber-reinforced-polymer (GFRP). However, the brittle behaviour of GFRP RC elements has limited their use in many applications. The use of shape memory alloy (SMA) and/or stainless steel (SS) rebars can solve this problem, because of their ductile behaviour and corrosion resistance. However, their high price is a major obstacle. To address issues of ductility, corrosion, and cost, this paper examines the hybrid use of GFRP, SS, and SMA in RC frames. The use of SMA provides an additional advantage as it reduces seismic residual deformations. Three frames were designed. A steel RC frame, SS-GFRP RC frame, and SMA-SS-GFRP RC frame. The design criteria for the two GFRP RC frames followed previous research by the authors, which aimed at having approximately equal lateral resistance, stiffness, and ductility for GFRP and steel RC frames. The three frames were then analyzed using twenty seismic records. Their seismic performance confirmed the success of the adopted design methodology in achieving corrosion-free frames that provide adequate seismic performance.","PeriodicalId":7670,"journal":{"name":"AIMS Materials Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70089030","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}

All the compounds showed single-phase and crystallized into a distorted orthorhombic structure with the space group (Pbnm). The average particle size for all the samples were in the range 53–110 nm. The detailed and systematic magnetic measurements and analysis showed that all the samples up to x = 0.9 have large magnetization and large values of the change in the magnetic entropy. The magnitude of the change in the magnetic entropy (at 4.5 K and for all the values of the change in the applied magnetic field between 1 and 9 T) is found to increase with increasing x reaching a maximum value at x = 0.3 then it decreases as we increase the yttrium concentration. The nanoparticle compounds with low yttrium concentrations showed a giant change in the magnetic entropy and a giant relative cooling power. Based on the slopes of Arrott plots curves the order parameter of the magnetic transition has been estimated and found to be second order. The giant change in the magnetic entropy and the relative cooling power were tuned in the rages (-45.6 to -8.7 J/kg·K at a change in the applied magnetic field of 9 T; and 136–746 J/kg), around the helium liquefaction temperature. The magnitude of the change in the magnetic entropy is significantly larger for large range of temperatures, up to the nitrogen liquefaction temperature. The giant change in the magnetic entropy and the giant relative cooling power at low temperatures (in the range about 4 to 20 K.) make these samples candidate materials for the low temperature magnetic refrigerant applications, based on the magnetocaloric effect.","PeriodicalId":7670,"journal":{"name":"AIMS Materials Science","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70088065","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}
