This research examines the mechanical properties and water absorption of polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds reinforced with nano-hydroxyapatite (N-HA) particles, printed using a 3D printer based on fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology. Fabricating this composite material aims to replicate a tissue similar to bone tissue. Biocompatible N-HA (50% by weight) was utilized to fortify the matrix phase and enhance the mechanical properties. The compression test results showed that the addition of N-HA augmented the compressive strength and modulus of the scaffolds (with a nominal porosity of 60% and a filling pattern of 0/60/120) by 240% and 150%, respectively. Moreover, the water absorption increased by 600%.

The present article numerically investigates the unsteady magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Couette flow containing novel (Ag + MgO)-water hybrid nanofluid (HNF). The nanoparticles of silver (Ag) and magnesium oxide (MgO) are supplemented to base fluid water. The top wall is kept in uniform motion while the bottom wall of channel set stationary and stretchable. An external magnetic field is applied perpendicular to lower plate. The governed nonlinear partial differential equations (PDE) are solved employing finite difference method (FDM). The effects of hybrid nanofluid and nanofluid (NF) are compared for the significant parameters and presented graphically. The results illustrate that (Ag + MgO)-water HNF exhibits significant influence over Ag-water NF on velocity and temperature in the Couette channel.

Though adsorption techniques are eco-environmentally friendly, most lack the effectiveness of complete contaminant elimination leading to increasing concerns about the presence of aqueous contaminants on humans. Thus, synergistic combination of low adsorption capacity adsorbents may be an effective method to enhance their aqueous contaminant uptake. Sol-gel synthesized lanthanum-1,4-benzene dicarboxylate metal organic framework (LaBDC MOF) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) hydrogel were combined to prepare a synergistic composite adsorbent (PEO-LaBDC) for aqueous methylene blue (MB) adsorption. Major properties of the pristine LaBDC MOF and PEO hydrogel were expressed in the characterized composite indicating successful preparation. PEO-LaBDC composite MB removal rate of MB was at least twice as fast (60 min) to those of the pristine LaBDC MOF (120 min) and PEO hydrogel (125 min). The fitting of kinetics model was fractal in nature, and optimum adsorption was on the alkaline end of the pH spectrum for all adsorbents (pH = 12, 10, and 10, respectively). Comparatively, the composite exhibited a better adsorption performance of ≈177% higher than the pristine LaBDC MOF; buttressing the idea that synergistic combination of adsorbents in composites could enhance adsorption processes. Therefore, the PEO-LaBDC composite is a promising adsorbent for the remediation of aqueous MB.

Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) has an extraordinary combination of high hardness, strength, toughness, and advanced properties like excellent wear and corrosion resistant, thermal shock resistance. Also, Carbon Nano Tube (CNT) has grasped interest among the researchers owing to its superior mechanical and thermal properties. Hence, the present study intents to fabricate Al matrix reinforced with Si3N4 nano particulate and Al matrix reinforced with CNT and Si3N4 particulate called hybrid composite via gravity casting route. The fabricated composites were tested for compression test, hardness and tribological test. The L9 orthogonal array was selected to conduct the tribological test in dry sliding conditions. Furthermore, SEM, an optical microscope, and image analysis tools were used to characterize the created composites. To determine the ideal operating conditions of the tribology test, analysis of variance was performed. The correlation between the input parameters and the wear rate, COF, was established using regression models. In order to predict the rate of wear with greater than 95% accuracy, a fuzzy model was developed based on the experimental data.

Poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) has established its credibility in the fields of filtration, biomedical and pharmaceutical areas. In this paper different concentration of poly (ethylene) glycol were added to PVA to prepare gel and its nano fibres. PEG is water soluble similar to PVA can give a uniform gel and a strong intermolecular bonding can be achieved by the addition of PEG in PVA. Fibres were prepared by having high wt.% of PEG loaded PVA nano fibres. Nano fibre mat having 0, 0.2,0.4 and 0.6 g PEG having low molecular weight was added in the 8.6 wt.% PVA solution and then fibres were prepared by using electro spinning technique. Nano fibres so prepared were characterised by SEM, XRD and DSC. SEM results reveal that increase of PEG concentration separated the nano fibres and increased the gap of the mesh size. SEM micro graphs depicts that produced nano fibres are homogenous in nature and there were no apparent gap between the PVA and PEG nano fibre. It may be explained that due to the high electric potential developed during the electro spinning process which helped the nano fibres to get stretched XRD patterns exhibited the crystal size increased on adding PEG in the PVA gel. Effect of PEG addition on Tm of PVA nano fibres has been determined by running their DSC scans. An additional peak of 158.13°C is observed for the sample having 0.4 g PEG. Melting temperature shifted from 215° C to 219°C due to increase in crystal size of PEG added PVA nano fibres.
聚乙烯醇(PVA)在过滤、生物医学和制药领域已经建立了信誉。本文在聚乙烯醇中加入不同浓度的聚乙二醇，制备凝胶及其纳米纤维。与PVA类似，PEG是水溶性的，可以形成均匀的凝胶，在PVA中加入PEG可以实现很强的分子间键合。采用高wt %的聚乙二醇负载聚乙烯醇纳米纤维制备纤维。纳米纤维垫有0,0.2,0.4和0.6克低分子量的聚乙二醇被添加到8.6吨。采用静电纺丝技术制备% PVA溶液和纤维。用SEM、XRD和DSC对制备的纳米纤维进行了表征。SEM结果表明，聚乙二醇浓度的增加使纳米纤维分离，网孔间距增大。SEM显微图显示，制备的纳米纤维性质均匀，PVA和PEG纳米纤维之间没有明显的间隙。这可能是由于静电纺丝过程中产生的高电位有助于纳米纤维的拉伸，XRD图显示，在PVA凝胶中加入PEG后，纳米纤维的晶粒尺寸增大。通过DSC扫描确定了聚乙二醇对PVA纳米纤维Tm的影响。对于含有0.4 g PEG的样品，观察到158.13°C的附加峰。由于加入PVA纳米纤维的PEG晶粒尺寸增大，熔融温度从215℃升高到219℃。

Considering the effect of surface parameters and crack on the longitudinal vibration of nanorods is the aim of this study. The nanorod is assumed to be thick, and it is modeled based on Bishop theory of rods. In thick nanorods, the effects of the inertia of lateral motions and the shear stiffness are considered in the kinetic energy and the strain energy of the nanorod, respectively. In the present study, the crack is modeled as a linear spring in which its stiffness is related to the crack severity. The surface parameters considered are the surface Lamé constants, the surface density, and the surface stress. Considering all surface parameters causes inhomogeneity of governing equations and boundary conditions. After converting inhomogeneous equations to homogeneous ones, the resulted equations are solved numerically. All possible boundary conditions are introduced but only natural frequencies of nanorod with fixed-fixed and fixed-free are reported. In addition to considering the effect of type of boundary conditions on the natural frequencies, the effect of geometrical parameters like radius and length, and mode number is also considered. The results are presented for both thin and thick nanorods to compare the effect of various parameters especially surface parameters on longitudinal frequencies.

The novelty of the present paper was the construction of a new reactor to synthesize the cobalt nanoparticles (NPs) by solution combustion synthesis (SCS) method for reducing the processing temperature of cobalt production. To perform the SCS process, a reactor was designed and constructed and the synthesis process was performed using cobalt (II) nitrate-6-water as oxidizer along with glycine and urea as fuels. The effect of the molar ratio of glycine fuel to oxidizer and fuel type parameters on the purity of the products were examined. The XRD and FESEM analysis were used to characterize the obtained products. Based on FESEM analysis and the Scherrer equation, the mean size of all samples was under 100 nm and the reactor loaded with the glycine fuel provided the lowest particle sizes by around 14 nm and produced particles with better surface adhesion. It was found that the glycine fuel was determined the best fuel compared to urea because of producing temperatures near 400°C. Compared to traditional gas-solid reactions, the operating temperature of this process was under 400°C which was considerably lower than the operating temperature of gas-solid reactions occurred at temperatures higher than 800°C.

The current work is an attempt to explicate the repercussions caused by the transmission of heat as well as mass along with the enhancement of heat transmission for a steady MHD Williamson nano-substance flowing through the microchannel with slip and convective boundary conditions. The consequence of magnetic field and viscous dissipation on the flow is recorded. The simultaneous impact of the two well-known slip-mechanisms Brownian movement and thermophoresis is elaborated explicitly. The governed non-linear systems obtained were illustrated numerically via Runge-Kutta Fehlberg 4–5th order method based on shooting scheme. The pertinent features of assorted parameters have been scrutinized with the aid of graphs. Results reveal that magnetic parameter along with buoyancy ratio parameter was observed to decline the velocity whereas Weissenberg number displays both rising and depleting conduct on velocity. Temperature was reported to boost with Brownian motion and thermophoresis parameter whereas concentration profile declines with the same. Also drag across the enclosures of the microchannel with wall heat flux are computed and studied through graphs.

Micro-organisms play an important role in numerous conditions such as toxin release, digestion and antibiotics. These remarkable features of motile organisms can lead to bio convection phenomena. Keeping in view, the present article is focused to study the collective impact of motile organisms and nanoparticles on flow past an elastic porous surface. Thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and prescribed surface slip condition is also imposed in order to acquire physically realistic analysis. The flow governing problem is modeled using fundamental laws of momentum and energy which afterward is transformed by utilizing a suitable scaling analysis. Role of emerging sundry parameters on quantities of physical interest are portrayed graphically and discussed in a physical manner. It is observed that fluid’s velocity and temperature rises for radiation parameter but concentration of fluid drops down. Local motile density slightly enhances with Dissipation, Suction and Radiation factor while it drops down with Slip factor. When injection of fluid raised then skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number, Sherwood number and motile microorganism density also raised.
