Laser printed amorphous magnesium alloy: Microstructure, mechanical properties, and degradation behavior

Article describes how, amorphous magnesium alloy, especially Mg-Zn-Ca series, has been receiving continuous attention in biomedical field, because of its favorable corrosion resistance, suitable modulus and biocompatibility. In this work, laser powder bed fusing with unique characteristics of rapid solidification and layer-by-layer fashion was used to fabricate bulk Mg-Zn-Ca and Mg-Zn-Ca-Y amorphous parts.

The Interface Strengthening of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes/Polylactic Acid Composites via the In-Loop Hybrid Manufacturing Method (open access)

The Interface Strengthening of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes/Polylactic Acid Composites via the In-Loop Hybrid Manufacturing Method

Article describes how in this study, a new in-loop hybrid manufacturing method is proposed for fabricating multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNTs)/polylactic acid (PLA) composites. Molecular dynamics simulations were conducted in conjunction with experiments to reveal the mechanism of the proposed method for improving the interfacial performance of MWCNTs/PLA.
