Temperature as a key parameter for graphene sono-exfoliation in water (2022)
Journal Article
Kaur, A., Morton, J. A., Tyurnina, A. V., Priyadarshi, A., Holland, A., Mi, J., …Tzanakis, I. (2022). Temperature as a key parameter for graphene sono-exfoliation in water. Ultrasonics Sonochemistry, 90, Article 106187. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ultsonch.2022.106187

Graphene dispersions in water are highly desirable for a range of applications such as biomedicines, separation membranes, coatings, inkjet printing and more. Recent novel research has been focussed on developing a green approach for scalable product... Read More about Temperature as a key parameter for graphene sono-exfoliation in water.

Multiscale interactions of liquid, bubbles and solid phases in ultrasonic fields revealed by multiphysics modelling and ultrafast X-ray imaging (2022)
Journal Article
Qin, L., Porfyrakis, K., Tzanakis, I., Grobert, N., Eskin, D. G., Fezzaa, K., & Mi, J. (2022). Multiscale interactions of liquid, bubbles and solid phases in ultrasonic fields revealed by multiphysics modelling and ultrafast X-ray imaging. Ultrasonics Sonochemistry, 89, Article 106158. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ultsonch.2022.106158

The volume of fluid (VOF) and continuous surface force (CSF) methods were used to develop a bubble dynamics model for the simulation of bubble oscillation and implosion dynamics under ultrasound. The model was calibrated and validated by the X-ray im...

Effect of trace boron on grain refinement of commercially pure aluminum by Al–5Ti–1B (2022)
Journal Article
XIAO, F., WU, M. X., WANG, Y. X., ZHOU, W. Z., WANG, S. B., WANG, D. H., ZHU, G. L., JIANG, M., SHU, D., MI, J. W., & SUN, B. D. (2022). Effect of trace boron on grain refinement of commercially pure aluminum by Al–5Ti–1B. Transactions of Nonferrous Metals Society of China, 32(4), 1061-1069. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1003-6326%2822%2965855-2

The effect of boron content on grain refinement of commercially pure aluminum by Al–5Ti–1B was quantitatively assessed. When the boron content is less than 0.03 wt.%, the refining performance of Al–5Ti–1B gradually is weakened as the boron content in...
