Effects of porosity on the mechanical properties of additively manufactured components: a critical review

Ahmad Y. Al‐Maharma, Sandeep P. Patil, Bernd Markert · 20 Nov 2020

Abstract In the present review, the effect of porosity on the mechanical properties of the fabricated parts, which are additively manufactured by powder bed fusion and filament extrusion-based technologies, are discussed in detail. Usually, additive manufacturing (AM) processes based on these techniques produce the components with a significant amount of pores. The porosity in these…

Carbon functionalized TiO<sub>2</sub> nanofibers for high efficiency photocatalysis

Kakarla Raghava Reddy, Vincent G. Gomes, Mahbub Hassan · 30 Jan 2014

TiO2 nanofibers (30–50 nm diameter), fabricated by the electro-spinning process, were modified with organo-silane agents via a coupling reaction and were grafted with carbohydrate molecules. The mixture was carbonized to produce a uniform coating of amorphous carbon on the surface of the TiO2 nanofibers. The TiO2@C nanofibers were characterized by high resolution electron microscopy (HRTEM),…

Green synthesis of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles via plant extracts: an overview

Nurul Atiqah Izzati Md Ishak, Siti Kartom Kamarudin, Sharifah Najiha Timmiati · 13 Sep 2019

Recently, a biological approach to synthesizing materials via environmentally friendly green chemistry-based techniques involving natural materials such as plants, bacteria, fungi, seaweed, polysaccharides, biodegradable polymers, plant-derived materials and algae has been employed as an alternative method for the synthesis of metal and metal oxide nanoparticles. With increasing enthusiasm for efficient green chemistry, biosynthetic routes for…

Investigation on tailoring physical properties of Nickel Oxide thin films grown by dc magnetron sputtering

Parashurama Salunkhe, A. V. Muhammed Ali, Dhananjaya Kekuda · 1 Jan 2020

Abstract We report a comprehensive study on influence of oxygen partial pressure on NiO thin films grown on glass substrates in a combined argon and oxygen ambience by reactive dc magnetron sputtering. In this present article, we have discussed the dependence of oxygen pressure on structural, chemical, morphological, optical and electrical properties of the sputtered…

Photocatalytic performance of Fe-doped TiO<sub>2</sub>nanoparticles under visible-light irradiation

T. Ali, P. Tripathi, Ameer Azam et al. · 30 Jan 2017

The present work focuses on the synthesis, characterization and photocatalytic activity of a nanosized Fe-doped TiO 2 photocatalyst. The samples were synthesized by the sol–gel method and characterized by using techniques such as x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), UV–visible spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, Raman…

Materials Research Express template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Materials Research Express format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Materials Research Express template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official IOP Publishing format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Materials Research Express use?
Materials Research Express uses Numbered (IOP) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] Smith A, Jones B and Lee C 2023 A representative article title Materials Research Express 12 45–58
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Materials Research Express?
No. DocuGuru generates the iopjournal LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IOP Publishing-ready Materials Research Express document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Materials Research Express template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Materials Research Express format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Materials Research Express?
IOP Publishing journal. It is a physics journal, published by IOP Publishing.
Can I export a submission-ready Materials Research Express PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Materials Research Express template (the iopjournal class) that is ready to submit to IOP Publishing, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
