Direct Metal Deposition of Graphene–Ti28Nb35.4Zr Matrix Composites With Enhanced Mechanical, Corrosion, and Biocompatibility Properties for Bone Implants

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Graphene nanoplatelet (0.1 wt.%) reinforcement significantly enhances the performance of β Ti‐28Nb‐35.4Zr alloy. Grain refinement, reduced water contact angle, and improved surface characteristics promote osteoblast adhesion and complete surface coverage after 7 days.

Patterns of soil water repellency change with wetting and drying: the influence of cracks, roots and drainage conditions [PDF]

, 2014
The influence of simulated cracks and roots on soil water repellency (SWR) dynamics with and without basal drainage impedance in wetting–drying cycles was investigated in the laboratory experiments.

Failure mechanism of canal slopes of expansive soils considering action of wetting-drying cycles

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2019
The canal of expansive soils is in the state of wetting-drying cycle because of seasonal water level fluctuations, and its slope instability is easily induced.
