Recycling of NiTi Shape Memory Alloys: Fundamental and Technological Aspects of a Vacuum Induction Melting Processing Route

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The present study investigates recycling of NiTi shape memory alloys via vacuum induction melting. An ingot was synthesized from elemental Ni and Ti and subjected to three subsequent remelting cycles. Remelting increases process durations and impurity levels and adversely affects microstructures and functional properties.

The Ecology of a Synthetic Biofilm: Synchronization without a Clock [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2012
Biofilms are the archetype for smart materials where microcolonies of live bacteria and layers of dead cells are encapsulated in a hydrated matrix of polysaccharides, proteins and exopolymeric substances. We engineered synthetic biofilms to study their ecology_i.e. the cells’ relationship to each other and their environment.
