Emerging 3D printing technology permits innovative approaches to manufacture cartilage
scaffolds associated with layer-by-layer mechanical property adaptation. However …

Standard nanoindentation tests are “high throughput” compared to nearly all other
mechanical tests, such as tension or compression. However, the typical rates of tens of tests …

The degradable nature of high-performance, wood-based materials is an attractive
advantage when considering environmental factors such as sustainability, recycling, and …

Uniform fibers composed of poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) reinforced with progressively
increasing contents of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), up to 41wt% CNCs, have been …

Steam treatment is a hygrothermal method of potential industrial significance for improving
the dimensional stability and durability of wood materials. The steaming results in different …

The concept of a “bound rubber” phase extending over nanometre-scale distances from the
interface of rubber-particle nanocomposites is generally accepted. However, the thickness …

The properties of wood and wood-based materials are strongly dependent on the properties
of the fibres, that is, the cell wall properties. It is thus highly important to be able to …

Hardness, elastic modulus, yield strength, work hardening exponent, and residual stress
within shot-peened layer of nickel-based single crystal superalloy DD6 were experimentally …

Self-healing cementitious materials containing a microencapsulated healing agent are
appealing due to their great application potential in improving the serviceability and …

Understanding why wood bonds fail is an excellent route toward understanding how to
make them better. Certifying a bonded product usually requires achieving a specific load …
