Hydroxyl‐Terminated Polybutadiene‐Based Molding Powders as an Alternative Route for Manufacturing Pressed Polymer‐Bonded Explosives

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
This study presents an alternative method to manufacture polymer‐bonded explosives by partially curing an HTPB‐based molding powder prior to compaction. The study shows that the length of partial cure time before compaction directly influenced the geometric fidelity, homogeneity, compressive strength, density, and internal microstructure.

Critical point drying of brain tissue for X‐ray phase‐contrast imaging

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
X‐ray phase contrast tomography can efficiently image brain tissue at subcellular resolution. Critical point drying allows a gentle replacement of interstitial material by air, enhancing X‐ray phase contrast of the ultrastructural features.X‐ray phase‐contrast tomography can efficiently image brain tissue at subcellular resolution.

On the optimization of the geometric pattern for structured illumination based X‐ray phase contrast and dark‐field imaging: a simulation study and its experimental validation

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
Single‐mask phase contrast and dark‐field imaging methods offer the great advantage of being simple to implement, translating most of the complexity to the numerical side. In this work, we study the impact of the modulation topology on the image quality retrieved both on numerical simulation and experiments.Phase contrast and dark‐field imaging are ...

Using Spherical-Harmonics Expansions for Optics Surface Reconstruction from Gradients

Sensors, 2017
In this paper, we propose a new algorithm to reconstruct optics surfaces (aka wavefronts) from gradients, defined on a circular domain, by means of the Spherical Harmonics.
