Enhancement of superconductivity in Magnesium Diboride nano-structures
(2012-09-28)For many years scientists have tried different strategies to improve superconductivity. The recent development in the growth of thin films and grains at the nanoscale has allowed to measure in certain materials critical ... -
A phenomenological mathematical modelling framework for the degradation of bioresorbable composites
(2018-10-20)Understanding, and ultimately, predicting the degradation of bioresorbable composites made of biodegradable polyesters and calcium-based ceramics is paramount in order to fully unlock the potential of these materials, which ... -
Electrodeposited Functional Nanowires for Energy Applications
(2018-09-01)Nanostructuring functional materials can lead to a variety of enhanced intrinsic material properties. In particular, nanowires (NWs) have large surface-to-volume ratio and large aspect ratio (length / diameter), which makes ... -
Collagen Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering: The Relationship between Microstructure, Fluid Dynamics, Mechanics and Scaffold Deformation
(2018-07-20)Collagen scaffolds are porous structures which are used in bioreactors and in a wide range of tissue engineering applications. In these contexts, the scaffolds may be subjected to conditions in which fluid is forced through ...
