the assembly immediately after the quartz tube has flowed around the block. This method requires careful heating and cooling so that the quartz does indeed flow yet does not crack upon cooling. Similarly, the electrolyte block may crack and completely fracture upon the heating or cooling of the ...
At week 0, SHRO addition was found to reduce the mechanical integrity of the materials as Control scaffolds (CS_Control) possessed higher compressive strength and Young’s modulus values compared to CS_SHRO1 and CS_SHRO2 (Fig.3c–d). As the honey is not a particulate antimicrobial, it was...
Dislocation activity in the vicinity of tensile crack tips determines whether materials exhibit brittle or ductile behaviour when fracture occurs36. Active dislocation multiplication can relieve stress concentration and blunt crack tips, enabling further plastic deformation37. Our α–β Ti–(0.35–0.70)O...
For example, in some embodiments, where the active oxygen compound is liquid, for example liquid hydrogen peroxide, water, or additional water, is optionally not included in the composition. Typically, the formation of the binder acts to increase the stability of the active oxygen compound. In...

crack type structure (see Fig.4a). Electrical conductivity is attained since the Pt films are composed of interconnected nanoparticles (see Fig.4b). Particularly in these experiments, the Pt film was approximately 50 nm thick. Thinner metal layers did not always result in a continuous film and ...
Stress-induced lattice distortions, that is, a tensile or compressive strain of the crystal structure, can significantly influence the physicochemical characteristics of materials by enhancing/inhibiting specific properties or by enabling new functionalities not allowed in the unperturbed structure. Strain eng...
These stresses eventually led to crack derivation and breakage of the fresh BOFS mixture matrix [40,62]. Interestingly, all geopolymer mixtures showed no expansion regardless of aggregate type, even for the fresh BOFS mixture (Figure 5b). It might be explained by the fact that free oxides (...
