Journal ArticleDOI
Wetting and contact-line effects for spherical and cylindrical droplets on graphene layers: a comparative molecular-dynamics investigation.
TL;DR: Results suggest that a modified Young's equation does not describe the relation between contact angle and drop size in the case of extremely small systems and that contributions different from the one deriving from contact line tension should be taken into account.
Journal ArticleDOI
Additive Manufacturing of ceramic components by Digital Light Processing: A comparison between the “bottom-up” and the “top-down” approaches
TL;DR: In this paper, the additive manufacturing of complex ceramic objects was carried out using two different Digital Light Processing (DLP) approaches, the "bottom-up" and "top-down" ones, employing the same projector as light source and a photosensitive Al2O3-based ceramic slurry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular ceramics produced by rapid prototyping and replication
TL;DR: In this article, a hybrid methodology that can realize cellular ceramic structures of any shape by combining 3D printing of polymer inks with replication is proposed, which overcomes the surface finish limitations of the current RP techniques by manufacturing cellular structures with a fine microstructure and an engineered cavity.
Journal ArticleDOI
HfB2/SiC as a protective coating for 2D Cf/SiC composites: Effect of high temperature oxidation on mechanical properties
TL;DR: In this article, a coating made of a HfB 2 /SiC composite (20% weight SiC) was tested as an oxidation protection on a C f / SiC composite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular dynamics simulations of the contact angle between water droplets and graphite surfaces
TL;DR: In this article, the equilibrium contact angle is determined and the transition to the macroscopic limit is discussed using Young equation in its modified form, which is particularly precise for characteristic lengths (radii and contact-line curvatures) around 40°A.
