Scaling equation for yield strength of nanoporous open-cell foams

Scaling equation for yield strength of nanoporous open-cell foams

A comprehensive study on the relationship between yield strength, relative density and ligament sizes is presented for nanoporous Au foams. Depth-sensing nanoindentation tests were performed on nanoporous foams ranging from 20% to 42% relative density with ligament sizes ranging from 10 to 900 nm. The Gibson and Ashby yield strength equation for open-cell macrocellular foams is modified in orde...

Microfabrication-compatible nanoporous gold foams as biomaterials for drug delivery.

Nanoporous gold is a promising material for multi-functional bio-interfaces with its well-characterized surface chemistry, compatibility with conventional micropatterning techniques, electrical conductivity, and high effective surface-area for molecular release. This paper demonstrates its biocompatibility and capability for drug release to modulate cellular response.

Measurement and Modeling of Creep in Open-Cell NiAl Foams

Nickel-rich NiAl foams, consisting of open cells with hollow struts and exhibiting two relative densities (5.0 and 6.6 pct) and average cell sizes (1.27 and 0.85 mm), were creep tested between 800 °C and 1100 °C under compressive stresses between 0.10 and 1.50 MPa. For stresses lower than 0.50 MPa, the foams exhibit secondary creep with power-law behavior characterized by creep exponents and ac...
