A Simplified Laminar Flow Model for the Pultrusion of Glass Fiber/Polyethylene Terephthalate Commingled Yarns

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A simplified thermoplastic pultrusion model is developed to predict thermal fields in glass fiber/polyethylene terephthalate (GF/PET) composites with reduced computational cost. By combining effective material homogenization, validation against literature data, and Gaussian‐process‐based optimization, the study reveals how heating limits, pulling speed,

Affecting the Properties of Copper–Graphene Electroconductive Composite by Severe Plastic Deformation

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Copper‐based composites enhanced with carbon feature convenient mechanical properties and favorable electric conductivity. Processing via deformation and thermomechanical treatments can introduce advantageous microstructures further enhancing their performance. Herein, copper–graphene powder‐based composites are directly consolidated via rotary swaging

β-catenin-α-catenin and actomyosin signaling differentially regulate growth cone contours and axon undulation and branching of retinal ganglion cells in situ

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience
IntroductionCadherin adhesive and actomyosin signaling are key cytomechanical cues required for neuronal circuit formation, but whether they function together to sculpt developing neurons is not known. Previously, we demonstrated that a β-catenin mutant (

Microstructure Evolution of a VMnFeCoNi High‐Entropy Alloy After Synthesis, Swaging, and Annealing

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The synthesis and processing (rotary swaging and annealing) of the novel VMnFeCoNi alloy is investigated, alongside the estimation of the grain size effect on hardness. Analysis of a wide grain size range of recrystallized microstructures (12–210 µm) reveals a low annealing twin density.

Cytoskeletal dynamics in growth-cone steering [PDF]

Journal of Cell Science, 2009
Interactions between dynamic microtubules and actin filaments are essential to a wide range of cell biological processes including cell division, motility and morphogenesis. In neuronal growth cones, interactions between microtubules and actin filaments in filopodia are necessary for growth cones to make a turn.

Current Status and Challenges in Data Collection for Aerospace Coatings Deposited by Plasma Spraying

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
An innovative approach has been integrated into the GRENAT project to optimize plasma spraying and coating performance. Raw materials are accelerated and melted in the plasma generated by torches, creating coatings. Monitoring sensors collect process data which are combined with ex situ characterization data.

Dataset of growth cone-enriched lipidome and proteome of embryonic to early postnatal mouse brain

Data in Brief, 2019
A growth cone is a part of a neuron considered as a hub for axon growth, motility and guidance functions. Growth cones are thought to play a critical role during development of neurons.

Multilayer Self‐Limiting Electrospray Deposition via Stepped Voltage Bias

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐limiting electrospray deposition (SLED) uses a high voltage to generate and deposit a charged payload on a target surface. The coating retains its charge, repelling newly arriving material. SLED thickness can be decreased by applying a secondary bias to the target.
