Despite its long history and widespread applications, particularly for animal injections, needle-free pneumatic jet injection remains under-utilized in healthcare systems worldwide. The detailed mechanisms and physics of needle free injection are poorly understood. Improved unde…
Among vertebrates, whole-body movement is centered around the vertebral column. The bony vertebral column primarily consists of trabecular (spongy) bone that adapts in vivo to support mechanical demands respective to region, ontogeny, ecology, and locomotion. Previous work has e…
Coconut shell is a material that has been used in cultural heritage across the continents and has been linked with human migration and colonization for thousands of years. Though ubiquitous, as a material coconut shell lacks the extensive conservation research done on similar ce…
Over the past decades, a dramatic increment on the production of maize husk (MH) in Mexico has been observed. Encouraging the study of this copious material as an alternative for the manufacture of composite materials, thereby enabling the use of MH. Offering advantages such as …
In recent years a great deal of research has focussed on understanding and exploiting self assembling peptides as they form fibrillar hydrogels for use in a variety of different applications, such as tissue engineering and drug delivery. A particular class of such peptide system…
Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) is an alternative material that has been widely studied to enhance the mechanical properties of a polymer matrix due to a number of perceived advantages over traditional plant fibre forms. Mechanical properties of MFC networks were found to depen…
Gypsum board assemblies are now widely used in buildings, as fire resistant walls or ceilings, to provide passive fire protection. The fire resistance of such systems is fundamentally due to the desirable thermal properties of gypsum. Yet there is wide variability in reported va…
Multi-pass fusion welding by a filler wire (welding electrode) is normally carried out to join thick steel sections used in most engineering applications. Welded joints in an installation, is the area of critical importance, since they are likely to contain a higher density of d…
One of the most significant issues in nanocomposite performance is improving the dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in thermosetting or thermoplastic polymers in order to gain good mechanical properties. Several studies have investigated the fabrication of nanocomposites base…
The goal of this research is to investigate the combined effects of glass fibre reinforcement and molecular orientation in polypropylene-short glass fibre composites. Specimens have been fabricated using the injection moulding process and drawn using a small die drawing rig. The…
Restoring both anterior and posterior teeth with resin-composite materials is now an established clinical procedure with almost universal acceptance. The clinical performance of these restorations in the patient’s mouth is determined by a number of factors including the clinical…
Micronisation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to achieve desirable quality attributes for formulation preparation and drug delivery remains a major challenge in the pharmaceutical sciences. It is therefore important that the relationships between crystal structure, t…
LFC is cementatious material integrated with mechanically entrained foam in the mortar slurry which can produce a variety of densities ranging from 400 to 1600 kg/m3. The application of LFC has been primarily as a filler material in civil engineering works. This research explore…
Typical rubber compounds used to manufacture industrial products such as tyres, hoses, conveyor belts, acoustics, shock pads, and engine mountings contain up to eight classes of chemical additives· including curing agents, accelerators, activators, processing aids, and antidegra…
The mechanical properties of food play an important role during manufacturing, storage, handling, and last but not least, during consumption. For an adequate understanding of the mechanical properties of liquid, liquid-like, soft solid, and solid foods, a basic understanding of…
