In this study, the properties of cobalt–chromium alloys are systematically prioritized to aid in the minimization of orthopedic implant failures and risks in biomedical applications. Within the model, six main groups (including a total of 31 properties) are defined: economic aspects, design and production properties, mechanical properties, physical properties, chemical properties and biological properties. A risk-based fuzzy decision making framework is proposed for prioritization. First, a risk-management decision matrix is created by employing interval type-2 fuzzy failure modes and effects analysis. Afterward, the properties of cobalt–chromium alloys are analyzed by utilizing interval type-2 fuzzy measurement of alternatives and ranking according to compromise solution. In the last phase, a prediction model is devised with an adaptive network fuzzy inference system to save computational time and effort and to enable the incorporation of new scientific results into the biomaterial evaluation process. The results of the current study demonstrate that compatibility, osseointegration, corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance and time-dependent deformation are the top five properties contributing to potential orthopedic implant failures and risks. Furthermore, the developed model produces very satisfactory results with acceptable deviations. Consequently, this study presents a new and reliable guide for the unbiased evaluation of cobalt–chromium alloys.

In orthopedic application, bone tissue engineering (BTE) is a novel treatment method for bone defects involving bone regeneration using an artificial supporting structure called scaffold. The aim of this work is to fabricate graphene-reinforced poly(lactic acid) (PLA/Gr) scaffolds with different pore shapes (circular, square and hexagonal) and different pore sizes (1000, 1500 and 2000 μm) using the fused deposition modeling process. The characteristics of the three-dimensionally (3D) printed PLA/Gr scaffolds were analyzed through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, derivative thermogravimetry, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The water contact angle measurement showed a hydrophilic surface (70 ± 2.7°) for scaffolds with a pore size of 1000 μm. Mechanical property studies showed that the scaffold with circular 1000 μm pores had a compressive strength of 18.53 ± 0.90 MPa, which was similar to the cancellous bone value. In addition, this study involved an examination of the in vitro bioactivity, water uptake and biodegradation characteristics of the scaffolds. The results reveal that the 3D-printed PLA/Gr scaffold featuring a circular pore shape with a pore size of 1000 μm exhibits great potential as an implant for BTE.

This study details the synthesis of high quality Cd1-xFexSnanoparticles using a simple cost-effective chemical technique in the air atmosphere. The structural analysis revealed the presence of a cubic CdS lattice with a hexagonal FeS phase in Cd1-xFexS nanoparticles. XRD results showed that the FeCl3 dosages had a significant influence on the formation of ternary Cd1-xFexS nanoparticles. The morphological analysis indicates that the Cd1-xFexS nanoparticles have a spherical shape with a size of approximately 20 nm, while CdS nanoparticles have a size of approximately 12 nm. The optical characterization revealed that the bandgap of pristine CdS and Cd1-xFexS nanoparticles decreased with an increase in Fe content. The bandgap of Cd0.8Fe0.2S was slightly higher than that of CdS, while the bandgap of Cd0.6Fe0.4S and Cd0.4Fe0.6S nanoparticles were lower than that of CdS. The energy band structures of pristine CdS and Cd1-xFexS nanoparticles were calculated using density functional theory and were compared with experimental results. In summary, this work presents a detailed investigation of the structural and optical properties of Cd1-xFexS nanoparticles synthesized using a cost-effective chemical technique. The results demonstrate the potential application of these nanoparticles in various fields such as optoelectronics, energy harvesting, and catalysis.

To develop economical, environmentally friendly and lightweight building materials, a novel straw-filled bionic concrete hollow block (BCHB) was designed. Compression tests were conducted to determine the compressive strength of BCHB. Furthermore, the compressive and heat transfer properties of these blocks were investigated with finite element analysis, and the following results were observed. 1) The BCHB model did not easily experience local collapse, and instead, it mainly exhibited thin cracks due to shear failure, providing great cracking and collapse resistance, thereby resulting in excellent compressive performance. 2) By reducing the thickness of the short edges of the BCHB models, they exhibited great compressive and thermal insulation performance, making these the preferred BCHBs. 3) The BCHB presented herein is the simplest model of the beetle elytron plate. In contrast to a traditional hollow brick, the BCHB is proven to be a lightweight, fully enclosed brick (block) with a high hollow ratio and can be used as a new nonbearing wall material replacing the traditional type in building construction.

Electrolytic Tough Pitch (ETP) copper is extensively used in the manufacturing of electrical machines and automobiles. Compared to other pure coppers, ETP copper has lower weldability. Therefore, this study analyzes the weldability of ETP copper using the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) process. GTAW can be performed using Constant Current (CC) and Pulsed Current (PC) modes. Consequently, the properties of the joints fabricated using both modes are compared and analyzed in this study. The results show that the joint efficiencies of GTAW-CC and GTAW-PC joints are 81% and 89%, respectively. The optimal heat input and pulsating action in pulsed current mode produce refined grains in the weld zone and heat-affected zone, resulting in higher joint efficiency.

Microstructure, dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior and texture evolution of as-extruded Mg-6Zn-1Mn-0.2Gd (ZMG610) alloy at different extrusion condition (extrusion ratio of 25 and 45, temperature of 350 °C and 400 °C) were investigated. As-cast ZMG610 alloy was mainly comprised of α-Mg matrix, Mg7Zn3 phase and Mg3Zn6Gd (I-phase), large number of I-phase particles remained in the matrix after homogenization treatment at 330 °C up to 24 h. As-extruded ZMG610 alloy exhibited a bimodal structure consisting of fine dynamically recrystallized grains with wide orientation spread and coarse un-dynamically recrystallized grains with strong basal texture. All as-extruded samples exhibited typical basal texture with basal plane of most grains paralleled to extrusion direction (ED). The lower texture intensity could be obtained through the increase of both extrusion ratio and temperature. Optimal mechanical properties (YS of 267 MPa, UTS of 360 MPa and EL of 14.2%) were obtained through the combination of low temperature (350 °C) and high extrusion ratio (45). Amelioration of mechanical properties highly depended on the synergistic effect of dynamically recrystallized grains, I-phase particles and texture.

Compression molding is the leading fabrication process for polymer composites. The settings of process parameters highly influence the mechanical properties of composites. This manuscript optimizes the ball mixing and compression molding process parameters for the fabrication of PEEK, multiwall carbon nanotubes, and nano-hydroxyapatite-based hybrid nanocomposite by the Taguchi method. The elastic modulus examined by the nanoindentation method of static mechanical analysis was taken as the output response variable. The optimum levels of mixing time, mold temperature, mold pressure, and holding time process parameters for maximum elastic modulus were found to be 90 minutes, 400 °C, 150 bar, and 15 minutes, respectively. The ‘Analysis of Variance’ technique analyzed that the mold temperature had the highest contribution (46.82%) in enhancing the elastic modulus to the largest value. The elastic modulus and hardness of PEEK-based hybrid nanocomposite with 30 wt.% nHA and 3 wt.% MWCNTs were observed to be 83% and 65% more than that of pure PEEK. The hydrophilicity of PEEK was improved with the reinforcement of nHA, attributed to the presence of oxygen-containing functional groups in the chemical structure of nHA.

In recent years, the quantum dot solar cell has attracted attention due to its versatile electrical and optical properties as a material. The quantum dot solar cell can be tuned in terms of bandgap and size. In the present work effect of defect density on the performance of the solar cell is studied with the help of Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator in one dimension (SCAPS-1D). The defect density Poly[bis(4-phenyl) (2,4,6-trimethyl phenyl)amine] (PTAA)/ PbS- tetra-butyl ammonium iodide(PbS-TBAI) and PbS- tetra-butyl ammonium iodide(PbS-TBAI/ Titanium dioxide(TiO2) is varied from 1x1010 cm−2 to 1x1017 cm−2 and variation of electron mobility of TiO2, temperature and work function is done. This simulation-based quantum dot absorber-based solar cells may, in the future, prove to be extremely effective quantum dot solar cell.

Nanocomposites based on graphene oxide have shown significant potential in various applications, including solar devices. In this work, hydrothermally synthesised cadmium sulfide-embedded graphene oxide (GO-CdS) nanocomposites have been reported. The resulting powder is black and was filtered and washed with distilled water. The samples were then characterised by X-ray diffraction, FTIR, optical transmission, and photoluminescence studies. The samples demonstrated a polycrystalline phase with a rutile structure and high luminescence peaks. As the amount of cadmium sulfide (CdS) in the graphene oxide increases, the size of the nanocomposites also increases. FTIR analysis confirmed the formation of GO-CdS nanocomposites. Furthermore, the samples exhibited excellent photoluminescence, which makes these composites highly suitable for optoelectronic applications.
