Directly brazing titanium (Ti) alloy and copper (Cu) using silver (Ag) based filler alloy has been recognized to be of limited success owing to the embrittlement of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) presented at joint interface. In the current investigation, strong and reliable brazing of Ti-6Al-4V and...

Void formation during in-plane flow has been widely researched, while the void prediction method for throughthickness flow has not been reported, which restricts the effective quality control for through-thickness permeating type liquid composite molding (LCM). In this paper, the structural morpholo...

Hybrid thin films containing nano-sized inorganic domains were synthesized from UV-curable acrylate-modified waterborne polyurethane (WPU-AC) and monodispersed colloidal silica with coupling agent. The coupling agent, 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (MSMA), was bonded onto colloidal silica fi...

Semiconductor lasers generate a significant amount of heat during operation, which can lead to various issues, including performance degradation and structural deformation of the housing. To address these challenges, this study proposes a novel cooling channel design inspired by the natural vascular...

Accurate prediction of void content is the foundation of process optimization for Liquid Composite Molding (LCM). During mold filling, void formation is a three-dimensional flow process, while at present the void formation is treated as a result of in-plane air entrapment, the resin and air flows on...

Carboxyl-modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT&#8211;COOHs) as nanofillers were incorporated into diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) toughened with carboxyl-terminated butadiene-acrylonitrile (CTBN). The carboxyl functional carbon nanotubes were characterized by Fourier-transform in...

A new bio-based elastomer, poly(butylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate-ε-caprolactone) (PBFCL), has been synthesized from 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid, 1,4-butanediol, and ε-caprolactone successfully for the first time. The obtained copolyester was characterized in terms of chemical structure, thermal and me...

The intestinal barrier and local immune response in ruminants are closely related to dietary energy concentration. To determine the optimal dietary energy concentration for the intestinal health of sheep, we compared microbiota, barrier function, and mucosal immunity in the small intestine of sheep...

The palingenic calc-alkaline granitoid massifs of the Olekminsky complex form a magmatic belt stretching within the Western-Stanovoy terrane in the northeastern direction for more than 700 km. New U-Pb LA-ICP-MS dates for zircons from the granodiorites of the Marekta-Bereinsky massif of the Olekmins...

The Dzabkhan microcontinent was defined by [Mossakovsky et al., 1994] as a cratonic terrane with an early Precambrian basement that combines highgrade metamorphic complexes of the Songino, Dzabkhan, Otgon, Baidarik, Ider and Jargalant Blocks. However, early Precambrian ages have so far only been rec...

There are several geodynamic models of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) development [Şengör et al., 1993, Zorin, 1999; Parfenov et al., 1999, 2003; Willem et al., 2012; and others]. The Mongol-Okhotsk Orogenic Belt (MOB) represents important part of CAOB. All geodymanic models of Late Riphean...
