Abstract: Extrusion-based three-dimensional (3D) bio-printing deposits cell-laden bio-ink with high spatial resolution and may offer living tissue regeneration. Due to the biocompatibility, very low cytotoxicity, and high-water ...

Abstract: A thin viscous layer is found over a substrate when it is immersed in a polymer solution. The layer thickness depends on the polymer and the solvent type, their volume fraction, and the substrate. If the liquid solution ...

Abstract: This research first presents a method of peel testing developed by the researchers to characterize the strength of the interface between fabric and additively manufactured material. Experimentation is next presented that ...

Abstract: Prismatic closed cells, i.e., honeycomb structures, are often used as infill in additive manufacturing (AM) for providing physical stability to the skin and mechanical integrity to the object. These cells are periodic in ...

Abstract: Solid transfer technology from mixtures is gaining ever-increasing attention from materials scientists and production engineers due to their high potential in near-net-shaped production of cost-effective engineering ...

Abstract: Changing the surface properties (i.e., roughness or friction) can be instrumental for many applications but can be a complex and resource-intensive process. In this paper, we demonstrate a novel process of controlling the ...

Abstract: The mechanical response of a knot tied in elastic rods strongly depends on the frictional force due to rod–rod contact. The behavior of a knot can be qualitatively different based on the frictional coefficient of the elastic ...

Abstract: The fisherman’s knot, renowned for its strength and reliability, finds applications in engineering and medicine. However, a comprehensive understanding of its mechanics remains limited in scientific literature. In this ...
