The International NanoSPD Steering Committee and the Local Organising Committee invite you to attend NanoSPD7 to be held in Sydney on 2–7 July 2017.
Fatigue Crack Growth in Two Pipeline Steels
Researchers focus on studying the fatigue-crack-growth behaviour of two types of pipeline steels for the transport of hydrogen or natural gases.
A Critical Review of Mg-Zn-Y Series Alloys Containing I, W and LPSO Phases
The role of ternary phases such as I-phase, cubic W-phase and LPSO-phase in developing high-performance magnesium alloys is reviewed.
Manufacturing of Reticulated Open-Cellular Aluminum Nitride Ceramic Foams
A process for the fabrication of open-cellular aluminum nitride foams by the replica technique avoiding the usage of organic solvents has been developed.
Inverse magnetostrictive effect in Fe-Co wire/polymer composites
A novel Fe-Co wire/polymer composite is presented which is developed for the first time by embedding continuous Fe-Co wires in an epoxy matrix.
Topographical control of preosteoblast culture by shape memory foams
This study expands the potential applications of the SMP foam in tissue engineering.
Optimizing bulk metallic glasses for robust, highly wear-resistant gears
New copper-zirconium-based BMGs are developed that show excellent potential for wear-resistance.
Highly Reactive Biocidal Energetic Composite
A multifunctional reactive material was developed with biocidal combustion products, which can remain active for an extended period of time.
Electrically actuated hydraulic solids
A new high strength soft actuator which can be used in quasi-static applications has been developed.
Resilience to Impact by Extreme Energy Absorption in Lightweight Material Inclusions
A model design for lightweight, architected material inclusions that cultivate significant and rapid impact energy dissipation in structures is investigated
