Optical sensing responses of CrIIICl(TPP)(H2O)-based coatings obtained by an atmospheric pressure plasma method – Application to the detection of vol…

2014

Food spoilage processes are a considerable concern for both the food industry and the consumer, due to financial, food quality and food safety aspects. A primary issue is the prevention/monitoring of the formation of biogenic and volatile amines, such as occurring in fish and in other microbiologically unstable food items rich in proteins, produced by e.g. oxidative decarboxylation of amino acids. One strategy for their monitoring is the development of films with colorimetric sensing properties that are able to indicate food spoilage. The aim of this investigation was the development of a novel metalloporphyrin-based coating allowing the sensitive detection of typical volatile amines, such …

Multinucleated giant cells in the implant bed of bone substitutes are foreign body giant cells-New insights into the material-mediated healing process

2017

In addition to macrophages, multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs) are involved in the tissue reaction to a variety of biomaterials. Especially in the case of bone substitute materials it has been assumed that the MNGCs are osteoclasts, based on the chemical and physical similarity of many materials to the calcified matrix and the bony environment in which they are used. However, many studies indicate that these cells belong to the cell line of the foreign body giant cells (FBGCs), which are of "inflammatory origin", although they have been shown to possess both a pro- and also anti-inflammatory phenotype. Moreover, no information is available about their role in the tissue reaction to bone sub…

Synthesis of β- and γ-carbolines via ruthenium and rhodium catalysed [2+2+2] cycloadditions of yne-ynamides with methylcyanoformate

2011

A flexible approach towards substituted β- and γ-carbolines based on transition metal catalysed [2+2+2] cycloaddition reactions between functionalised yne-ynamides and methylcyanoformate is described. The versatility of this new reaction sequence is demonstrated by its application in the total synthesis of the marine natural product eudistomin U.

Inhibitoren der Korrosion 22 (1) - Einfluß von pH, Sauerstoff, Fremdionen, Art und Konzentration von Säuren auf den Korrosionsverlauf von Aluminium

1978

Die Korrosion von Aluminium unter Sauerstoff verlauft praktisch unabhangig vom pH-Wert, und zwar sowohl unter Sauerstoffverbrauch als auch unter Wasserstoffentwicklung. Dieses Verhalten wird sowohl in einer Acetatpuffer/Natriumchloridlosung als auch in anorganischen (Salpeter-, Schwefel-Phosphor- und Salzsaure) als auch in organischen Sauren gefunden. Bei den organischen Sauren sind die Ergebnisse jedoch nicht so eindeutig; in Essigsaure wird die Korrosionsgeschwindigkeit durch Natriumchloridzusatz nicht beeinflust, ebenso in Ameisensaure, wahrend Oxalsaure nur bei Anwesenheit von Natriumchlorid Wasserstoff entwickelt. Zitronensaure bewirkt uberhaupt keine Wasserstoffentwicklung. Als am bes…

A numerical approach for the modelling of forming limits in hot incremental forming of AZ31 magnesium alloy

2021

AbstractMagnesium alloys, because of their good specific material strength, can be considered attractive by different industry fields, as the aerospace and the automotive one. However, their use is limited by the poor formability at room temperature. In this research, a numerical approach is proposed in order to determine an analytical expression of material formability in hot incremental forming processes. The numerical model was developed using the commercial software ABAQUS/Explicit. The Johnson-Cook material model was used, and the model was validated through experimental measurements carried out using the ARAMIS system. Different geometries were considered with temperature varying in a…

Advanced FEM modeling of friction stir welding of Ti6Al4V: Microstructural evolutions

2013

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a solid state welding process patented in 1991 by TWI; initially adopted to weld aluminum alloys, is now being successfully used also for high resistant materials. Welding of titanium alloys by traditional fusion welding techniques presents several difficulties due to high material reactivity resulting in bonding with oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen with consequent embrittlement of the joint. In this way FSW represents a cost effective and high quality solution. The final mechanical properties of the joints are strictly connected to the microstructural evolutions, in terms of phase change, occurring during the process. In the paper a 3D FEM model of the FSW wel…

2016

The complex material flow occurring during the weld of dissimilar AA2024 to Ti6Al4V butt and lap joints was highlighted through a dedicated numerical model able to take into account the effects of the different materials as well as the phase transformation of the used titanium alloy.

A technical note on an experimental device to measure friction coefficient in sheet metal forming

2006

Abstract In the paper the authors present the results of several experimental tests aimed to determine the Coulomb friction coefficient in sheet metal forming operations at the varying of the sheet metal material and for different operative conditions. In particular a few pressure and lubricating conditions have been investigated. In order to develop such experiments a dedicated fixture was designed and set-up starting from the one proposed by Wilson.

Phase transitions in adsorbed layers formed on crystals of square and rectangular surface lattice

2000

Abstract This article gives a survey of phase transitions in adsorbed films on well defined surfaces of square and rectangular symmetry of the lattice. The discussion concentrates on the effects of periodic changes of the adsorbate–substrate potential on the structure and thermodynamic properties of adsorbed films. Different theoretical approaches are briefly reviewed, with an emphasis on those which explicitly take into account final corrugation of the surface potential. Several aspects of statistical mechanical description of phase transitions in surface layers, such as order–disorder, melting, commensurate–incommensurate transitions in monolayer films as well as transitions connected wit…
