Materials Science and Engineering (inferred)
Conventional paints pose major environmental and health concerns due to their reliance on heavy-metal pigments and volatile organic compound-emitting binders, necessitating sustainable alter…
AJAS · 2025
Materials Science and Engineering (inferred)
The rapidly growing field of wearable electronics faces a critical challenge: the development of materials that are compatible with human tissue. Traditional materials such as hydrogels and…
AJAS · 2024
Materials Science and Engineering (inferred)
From uses in optics to architecture, stained glass has existed for several millennia. Metal-ion dopants are standardly introduced to conventionally made glasses via salt doping or by adding…
AJAS · 2024
Materials Science and Engineering (inferred)
As international space agencies prepare to test new equipment to establish lunar and interplanetary colonies, building infrastructure on these celestial bodies becomes more of a concern. The…
AJAS · 2024
Materials Science and Engineering (inferred)
Biopolymeric materials have long been an area of interest, since they are more environmentally friendly than petroleum-derived plastics. Bioplastics can be more widely adopted if they can me…
AJAS · 2020
Materials Science and Engineering (inferred)
Freeze casting, the directional solidification of solutions and slurries, is a straightforward technique for the manufacture of porous materials. However, it has reached its limitations for…
AJAS · 2020
Materials Science and Engineering (inferred)
A critical factor to a car’s speed and efficiency is its weight. A lighter car is faster, more agile, and requires less energy. Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) are attractive because of the…
AJAS · 2020
Materials Science and Engineering (inferred)
Traveling up to 28,000 miles per hour, spacecraft re-entry into the atmosphere can be one of the most dangerous parts of the trip. As the kinetic force of the spacecraft is encountered by fr…
AJAS · 2020
Materials Science and Engineering (inferred)
Many believe that open wounds should be able to “breathe”, that they should not be covered so they can heal better and not be suffocated by the bandage. However, there have been countless st…
AJAS · 2020
Materials Science and Engineering (inferred)
This work discusses a novel method to deposit thin films of a liquid metal, eutectic gallium‐indium (EGaIn), on a copper substrate through electrophoretic deposition (EPD). The EPD procedure…
AJAS · 2019
Materials Science and Engineering (inferred)
The modern dynamic speaker requires a mechanically-actuated diaphragm, rare-earth magnets, and rigid voice coils, which causes them to be bulky and inflexible. However, current developments…
AJAS · 2018
Materials Science and Engineering (inferred)
This research investigates self-folding pre-strained polystyrene (PS) sheets into 3D geometric and nature-inspired shapes. Folding frequently occurs in nature and has been successfully utili…
AJAS · 2017
Materials Science and Engineering (inferred)
Resistive Random Access Memory (RRAMs) is a promising, emergent non-volatile technology that has been gaining increasing commercial applications [1]-[3]. Unlike in traditional Random Access…
AJAS · 2017
Materials Science and Engineering (inferred)
Magnesium based materials have become attractive candidates for biodegradable temporary implants because of their similarity to bone properties compared to other alloys, their good biocompat…
AJAS · 2017
Materials Science and Engineering (inferred)
The increase in counterfeited documents, banknotes, and medications impacts society and calls for new security technologies that are difficult to reproduce. Nature mimicking materials with u…
