Effect of Squeeze Casting on Microhardness and Microstructure of Al-3Cu-xSi Alloy by Ronaldo Oliveira (7453877)

“…Pressures of 0 MPa, 50 MPa, 100 MPa and 150 Mpa were used. In general, with increasing pressure and composition, the λ2 values decrease from the metal/mold interface, especially at pressures of 150 MPa and Composition of 9%Si, on the other hand the increase of these variables leads to the formation of more phases Al2Cu metastable that have a decrease in the Microhardness of the material, in addition to the formation of other phases due to the proximity to the eutetic.…”

Increasing Elasticity through Changes in the Secondary Structure of Gelatin by Gelation in a Microsized Lipid Space by Atsushi Sakai (331283)

“…We found that gelation inside a microdroplet covered with lipid membranes increased Young’s modulus <i>E</i> toward a plateau value <i>E</i>* along with a decrease in gel size. In the case of 5.0 wt % gelatin gelled inside a microsized lipid space, the <i>E</i>* for small microgels with <i>R</i> ≤ 50 μm was 10-fold higher (35–39 kPa) than that for the bulk gel (∼3 kPa). …”
