Dielectric property enhancement and environmental stability in (AlxCr0.05−x)Nb0.05Ti0.9O2 ceramics: influence of Al3+/Cr3+ ratio and Al3+ site preference by Porntip Siriya, Jurimart Wongsricha, Nutthakritta Phromviyo, Atchara Khamkongkaeo, Wirat Jarernboon, Pornjuk Srepusharawoot, Prasit Thongbai

“…All sintered ceramics exhibited a single–phase rutile TiO2 structure with dense microstructures and uniform elemental distribution. Raman and structural analyses indicated the presence of oxygen vacancies in Cr0.05Nb0.05Ti0.9O2, which were significantly reduced upon Al3+ incorporation, suggesting a predominant interstitial occupation of Al3+. …”

Chip Formation Mechanisms When Cutting Amorphous Alloy with Cubic Boron Nitride Tools Based on Constitutive Equation Parameter Optimisation by Jinguang Du, Dingkun Wang, Yaoxuan Guo, Wuyi Ming, Wenbin He

“…Based on the optimised constitutive model in which the JC constitutive equation parameters were derived using Oxley’s method, the variations in temperature, strain rate, and stress in the deformation zone during the cutting process were analysed. The chip microstructures revealed the transformation of lamellar chips into serrated chips resulting from a combination of plastic deformation, adiabatic shear, and shear slip.…”

Rapid, Chemical-Free Generation of Optically Scattering Structures in Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Using a CO2 Laser for Lightweight and Flexible Photovoltaic Applications by Simon D. Hodgson, Alice R. Gillett

“…Key surface parameters that equate to the amount and structure of surface roughness and features have been analysed. The CO2 laser generates microstructures at high speed, without affecting the bulk properties of the material, and is inherently a chemical-free process making it particularly applicable for use in industry, fitting well with the high-throughput, roll to roll processes associated with the production of flexible organic photovoltaic devices.…”
