A high-strength, heat-resistant Al-Ce-Ni alloy optimized for additive manufacturing in industrial applications.

Printing of multi-dimensional polymer object-- A material with tunable mechanical properties along with 3D printability in combination with its self-healing and shape recovery characteristics.

Making nanoporous polymeric fiber is very difficult. Foaming is an approach; however, that requires foaming agents. Besides, foaming agents creates large pores (500 micrometer). We aimed to obtain fibers with less than 500 nm pores.

Conventional operation of metal Big Area Additive Manufacturing (m-BAAM) systems, particularly Directed Energy Deposition (DED) style systems, is for a print head to follow a designated tool path while feedstock and energy are applied in prescribed amounts that are

Adhesive and sealant materials are crucial in construction, automotive, and electronics industries. However, most adhesives fail under stress or environmental conditions like dust, water, or wear.

The addition of Ce to Al-alloys has been in development within the last 10 years to design new alloys for advanced manufacturing. The invention provides alloy compositions which improve casting behavior by reducing or eliminating void formation.

Due to the low-cost and earth abundant features of sodium against lithium, sodium-ion batteries have become a cost-effective energy storage system comparing to lithium-ion batteries.

Due to the demand of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) use in advanced energy storage devices like electric vehicles, consumer electronics, renewable energy storage, back-up power, medical devices, etc has increased resulting in a large quantity of spent LIBs and might result in su
