The unique set of mechanical properties found in rigid biological tissues, which combine high strength and stiffness with superior toughness, offer inspiration for the design of advanced functional structural materials with outstanding performance. This paper reports on the first utilization of one such biogenic material-siliceous sponge spicules, the skeletal elements of sponges (Poriphera)-as a unique naturally nanostructured template for vacuum deposition, while also reporting on the effects of the required chemical and thermal treatments for template preparation on the material's microstructure and mechanical properties. The confined space within the central channel of spicules from the sponge Euplectella acts simultaneously as a nanotemplate and as a biogenic, optically transparent, glassy microchamber for the preparation of micrometer-sized clusters of fullerene-C-60 through vacuum deposition onto the nanostructured surface. This biological material allows an unprecedented and unique microporous morphology of C-60 particles to be obtained.

Nano patterning of AISI 316L stainless steel with Nonlinear Laser Lithography: Sliding under dry and oil-lubricated conditions Gnilitskyi, Iaroslav; Rotundo, Fabio; Martini, Carla; Pavlov, Ihor; Ilday, Serim; Vovk, Evgeny; Ilday, Fatih Omer; Orazi, Leonardo (2016-07-01) Femtosecond laser-based Nonlinear Laser Lithography (NLL) was applied to AISI 316L stainless steel, which requires surface modification to achieve satisfactory tribological behaviour. NLL advances over the well-known Laser Induced Periodic Surface Structures (LIPSS) in terms of uniformity and long-range order of high speeds, over large areas. A galvanometric scanner head was used for an high production rate. Dry and lubricated sliding tests, considering different orientations of the nanotexture showed that ...
Experimental investigation of CNT effect on curved beam strength and interlaminar fracture toughness of CFRP laminates Arca, M. A.; Çöker, Demirkan (2014-06-20) High mechanical properties and light weight structures of composite materials and advances in manufacturing processes have increased the use of composite materials in the aerospace and wind energy industries as a primary load carrying structures in complex shapes. However, use of composite materials in complex geometries such as L-shaped laminates creates weakness at the radius which causes delamination. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is preferred as a toughening materials in composite matrices due to their high m...
Synthesis and characterization of Ti-based bulk amorphous/naocrystalline alloys for engineering applications Abdelal, Ali; Akdeniz, Mahmut Vedat; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2004) Amorphous and bulk amorphous metallic alloys are an intriguing class of structural materials and possess a range of interesting properties, including near theoretical strength, high hardness, extremely low damping characteristics, excellent wear properties, high corrosion resistance, low shrinkage during cooling and almost perfect as-cast surfaces with good potential for forming and shaping. In this study, new Ti-based bulk amorphous alloys are tried to be modeled and synthesized. For that purpose, electron...
Biocompatibility and biomechanical properties of new polycaprolactone-bioglass based bone implant materials Erdemli, Özge; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Department of Engineering Sciences (2007) Researches on bone defects are focused on the use of composites due to the composite and well-organized hierarchical structure of the bone. In this study, it is aimed to develop Polycaprolactone based implants with different organic DBM, HYA- and/or inorganic bioglass, calcium sulfate- compositions for augmenting bone healing. Bioactivity of the discs was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and EDS analysis after incubation in SBF for 1, 7 and 14 days. All bioglass containing groups showed apatite mo...
Evolutionary structural optimization of steel gusset plates Khalaf, A. A.; Saka, M. P. (Elsevier BV, 2007-01-01) Evolutionary structural optimization is applied to determine the optimum shape of steel gusset plates subjected to axial forces. A number of different gusset plates used in various types of connections is considered for this purpose. The evolutionary structural optimization approach is employed to find the optimum shapes of a gusset plate used in these connections. The first example considers a gusset plate having two holes which are utilized in the connection of double angle carrying a tensile force. Withi...
