Powder bed binder jet printing (BJP) is an additive manufacturing method in which powder is deposited layer-by-layer and selectively joined in each layer with binder. The data presented here relates to the characterization of the as-received feedstock powder, BJP processing parameters, sample preparation and sintering profile ("Effect of solutionizing and aging on the microstructure and mechani...

The manufacture of highly drug-loaded fine globular granules eventually applied for orally disintegrating tablets has been investigated using a unique multi-functional rotor processor with acetaminophen, which was used as a model drug substance. Experimental design and statistical analysis were used to evaluate potential relationships between three key operating parameters (i.e., the binder flo...

Nitrogen removal is needed in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) for the treatment of most waste streams. Current designs couple biological denitrification with side-stream or combined nitrification sustained by upstream or direct aeration, which negates some of the energy-saving benefits of MFC technology. To achieve simultaneous nitrification and denitrification, without extra energy input for aerat...

Asphalt pavements undergo long-term aging due to oxidation of the asphalt binder. As a pavement oxidizes, it stiffens and eventually cracks. The use of an antioxidant in an asphalt binder could retard aging, thus increasing the pavement’s service life. Lignin is a known antioxidant and is highly available from timber and many agricultural products. A wet-mill ethanol process produces several co...

Self-consolidating concrete (SCC) mixtures designated for precast, prestressed applications should be highly workable to flow easily through restricted spacing and completely encapsulate reinforcements without any mechanical vibration. Key workability characteristics of SCC can be described in terms of filling ability, passing ability, and resistance to segregation. These properties are typical...

SIEM (Speckle Interferometry with Electron Microscopy) is a micro/nano experimental mechanics technique that is able to perform the full field displacement mapping over a region of only several microns in size. In this study we tested specimens made of a pure binder material, a polymer, and binder material mixed with 6 micron aluminum particles under uniaxial tension. The binder material with m...

Microtubules (MTs) are key components of the cytoskeleton for all eukaryotes and are vital for cellular processes such as mitotic spindle formation, intracellular transport, vesicle formation, cellular signaling, and migration. These functions depend on the dynamic nature of MTs, which arises from the polymerization and depolymerization events of individual heterodimers, made up of αand β-tubul...
