Collagen is a main component of the extracellular matrix. It is often used in medical applications to support tissue regeneration, hemostasis, or wound healing. Due to different sources of collagen, the properties and ...

In this paper, the influence of prepreg material quality to the mechanical properties of CFRP parts is presented. During the out life of prepreg slit tape, the processability changes by aging especially when storing the ...

An ever-increasing demand for more effective products with lower weight, more compact design and extended functionality has led to the use of material combinations with locally adapted properties instead of mono-materials. ...

Automated Fiber Placement (AFP) processes are commonly deployed in manufacturing of lightweight structures made of carbon fibre reinforced polymer. In general, AFP is connected to individual manufacturing knowledge during ...

To date, bioceramics have not been applied successfully in total knee joint endoprostheses. Sintered bioceramics can be machined only by grinding and polishing processes. Due to high quality requirements, there are significant ...

Through the striving of humanity into space, new production processes and technologies for the use under microgravity will be essential in the future. Production of objects in space demands for new processes, like additive ...

Ion mobility spectrometers (IMS) are able to detect pptV-level concentrations of substances in gasses and in liquids within seconds. Due to the continuous increase in analytical performance and reduction of the instrument ...

We demonstrate a technique, which significantly enhances the stability of copper welding with laser radiation. After modelling spot welding stability we conclude that oxide layer morphology typical for native oxide layers ...

The development and effective implementation of a production strategy requires an interdisciplinary planning of products, manufacturing technologies and factory concepts. The integrative roadmapping allows the merging of ...

Tool and mould manufacturers typically prepare their quotation provide an accurate price of, for example, a die casting mould is a key competitive factor for such companies. However, particularly in the customised production ...
