We investigate the effect of microstructure on mechanical response lattice structures made a defect tolerant Ti-14 Mo binary alloy fabricated by Electron Powder Bed Fusion. Some were subjected to different heat treatments compare microstructures: two-phase α+β inherited from fabrication (as-built), full β-metastable microstructure, and strengthened via nanoprecipitation ωiso phase. demonstrate ...

Polymeric nanoparticles are highly important functional nanomaterials for a large range of applications from therapeutics to energy. Advances in nanotechnology have enabled the engineering multifunctional polymeric with variety shapes and inner morphologies. Thanks its inherent simplicity, nanoprecipitation technique has progressively become popular approach construct precise control nanostruct...

The combination of linear polymers with dendritic chain-ends has led to numerous studies of linear-dendritic polymer hybrid materials. Interchain branching within the linear segment of these materials has recently extended this concept to the formation of soluble hyperbranched-polydendrons. Here, the introduction of amphiphilicity into hyperbranched-polydendrons has been achieved for the first ...

Biodegradable poly(D, L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and PLGA-based polymeric nanoparticles are widely used for sustained release of protein and peptide drugs. These formulations are usually prepared by water/oil/water (W/O/W) and solid/oil/water (S/O/W) double emulsion solvent evaporation method. Other methods of preparation are nanoprecipitation, emulsion solvent diffusion and salting-out. Th...

Stable suspensions of gold nanoparticles in water were prepared with high yield by a novel one-step ultrasound assisted electrochemical process. Various strategies based on the addition of either tailor-made polymers or mixtures of commercially available polymers, in the electrochemical bath have been found successful to avoid nanoparticles aggregation commonly observed by sonoelectrochemistry....
