This paper describes a laser-based approach for the bonded repair of fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) parts. According to CFRP's material properties and sensitivity to thermal loads, short pulsed UV laser radiation is ...

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 ...

Background: The proteome reflects the available cellular machinery to deal with nutrients and environmental challenges. The most common E. coli strain BL21 growing in different, commonly employed media was evaluated using ...

Altogether five platinum group metal (PGM) and PGM-free cathode catalysts were investigated in full PEM water electrolysis cells regarding their polarisation behaviour and their hydrogen and oxygen recombination properties. ...

Seeds provide the basis for many food, feed, and fuel products. Continued increases in seed yield, composition, and quality require an improved understanding of how the developing seed converts carbon and nitrogen supplies ...

Presently, fiber reinforced materials are used for many industrial applications. Laser transmission welding (LTW) is a suitable method to join these materials. For multiple thermoplastics, the weld seam quality is affected ...
