Type I collagen abounds in mammalian extracellular matrix (ECM) and is crucial to many biophysical processes. While previous studies have mostly focused on bulk averaged properties, here we provide a comprehensive and quantitative spatial-temporal characterization of the microstructure of type I collagen-based ECM as the gelation temperature varies. The structural characteristics including the ...

Predictive simulation tools are needed for aircraft structures sizing, to enhance safety, reliability and performance. But the main difficulty arises from the lack of accurate knowledge regarding their input parameters, particularly thermal properties of composite materials. A lot of techniques [1] already exist to characterise orthotropic composite materials but they have to be associated or r...

The exploration of new alloys with desirable properties has been a long-standing challenge in materials science because of the complex relationship between composition and microstructure. In this Research Article, we demonstrate a combinatorial strategy for the exploration of composition dependence of microstructure. This strategy is comprised of alloy library synthesis followed by high-through...

The inner structure of a material is called microstructure. It stores the genesis of a material and determines all its physical and chemical properties. While microstructural characterization is widely spread and well known, the microstructural classification is mostly done manually by human experts, which opens doors for huge uncertainties. Since the microstructure could be a combination of di...

introduction: the aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the setting time, flow, film thickness, solubility, radiopacity and characterization analysis of three epoxy resin based sealers including two experimental sealers and ah-26. methods and materials: five samples of each material were evaluated for setting time, flow, film thickness, solubility and radiopacity according to iso 6876 stan...
