On the influence of glass transition on shrinkage in convective drying of fruits: A case study of banana drying

, 2007
The ideal shrinkage model assumes that the extent of shrinkage is equal to the volume of liquid water removed from the dried medium. Generally if a material undergoes glass transition during the drying process, shrinkage will no longer be ideal.

Electrodeposition in Structural Lattices of Variable Architectures

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Electrodeposition enables geometry‐sensitive, autonomous void filling while simultaneously tuning chemical and mechanical properties. The development of approaches that can autonomously fill and heal material voids and yield composites with tailorable properties is increasingly relevant in engineering.

Determination of drying kinetics, specific energy consumption, shrinkage, and colour properties of pomegranate arils submitted to microwave and convective drying

Open Agriculture, 2021
In this study, the drying kinetics, effective moisture diffusivity (D eff), specific energy consumption (SEC), colour, and shrinkage (S b) of pomegranate arils were compared when dried by convective (CV) drying and microwave

Numerical investigation of plant tissue porosity and its influence on cellular level shrinkage during drying [PDF]

, 2014
Dried plant food products are increasing in demand in the consumer market, leading to continuing research to develop better products and processing techniques. Plant materials are porous structures, which undergo large deformations during drying. For any

Thermal Cycle–Microstructure–Property Relationships in Rail Steel Heat‐Affected Zone Simulated by Gleeble

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Microstructural evolution of premium rail steel during flash butt welding (FBW), comparing physically simulated heat‐affected zones with actual weld regions. Thermal cycles induce phase transformations and microstructural heterogeneity that influence weld quality and mechanical performance. These findings provide insights into optimizing FBW parameters

Digital Light Processing of Thermoplastic Poly(methyl methacrylate) Photoresin Combined With Solvent Vapor Smoothing

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A thermoplastic PMMA‐based photoresin enables high‐resolution DLP printing followed by solvent‐vapor smoothing. The treatment reduces staircase‐induced surface roughness from 2.33 µm to 129 nm and increases visible‐light transmittance from approximately 30% to 80%, providing a route toward transparent PMMA components for rapid prototyping and non ...

Shrinkage properties of steel fiber reinforced concrete- A review

Applications in Engineering Science
Cracks induced by concrete shrinkage may allow corrosive agents to penetrate steel reinforced concrete and deteriorate the reinforcement. Adding randomly distributed steel fiber to concrete can reduce shrinkage and prevent the initiation of cracking ...

Comparative Study of Shrinkage and Non-Shrinkage Model of Food Drying [PDF]

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2016
A single phase heat and mass model has always been used to represent the moisture and temperature distribution during the drying of food. Several effects of the drying process, such as physical and structural changes, have been considered in order to increase understanding of the movement of water and temperature.

Effect of Calendering and Surface Treatment on the Thermochromic Response of Cholesteric Liquid Crystals on PET Nonwovens

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores the influences of calendering and surface treatment during direct ink writing (DIW) of thermochromic cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) on PET nonwovens. For the PVA‐coated nonwovens, calendering reduces pore size leading to reduced ink absorption and enhanced spreading. The NeverWet‐coated nonwovens improve thermochromic responses by

Dynamically Actuated Reconfigurable Topographical Surface Enables Active Control of Implant‐Associated Infections

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dynamically actuated reconfigurable topographical surface (DARTS) integrates contact‐mediated bactericidal nanotopography with programmable mechanical actuation to actively disrupt bacterial biofilms. Dynamic surface reconfiguration enhances bacterial killing and suppresses implant‐associated infections in vivo, providing a new strategy for active ...
