Abstract Fourteen alloys of the FeCoNiAl x Mn system were processed by laser metal deposition (LMD). The feedstock was a weighted and proportional blend containing elemental powders, targeting nominal alloy compositions. Prior to processing, composition particle characteristics assessed. microstructural features crystal structures all LMD materials characterized with scanning electron microscop...

Under specific conditions, rod-like cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) can assemble into structurally ordered soft glasses (SGs) with anisotropy that be controlled by applying shear. However, to achieve full structural control of SGs in real industrial processes, their response mixed shear and extensional kinematics needs determined. We hypothesise knowing the rheology CNC-based glass adopting a suit...

Combining magnetic nanomaterials with materials of other classes can produce multicomponent nanoparticles an entire ensemble new structures and unique, enhanced, synergetic, and/or complementary functionalities. Here we discuss the most recent developments in synthesis nanoparticles, describe resulting their novel properties, explore application a variety fields, including multimodal imaging, n...
