Article Synopsis
- Replicating biological 3D microvascular structures is important for tissue engineering and efficiency in mass transport, but traditional microfabrication methods struggle with complex designs.
- The study introduces a bioinspired technique that uses the growth patterns of plants and fungi, creating optimized microvascular networks in transparent glass by first cultivating these organisms and then removing them to leave behind open channels.
- The resulting glass networks show high stability and can be used in challenging environments, with potential applications in microreactors, heat exchangers, and advanced filtration systems due to their intricate designs and transparent properties for easy inspection.
In the diffusional phase transformation of two-phase alloys, the new phase precipitates form the matrix phase at specific temperatures, followed by the formation of a mixed microstructure comprising the precipitate and the matrix. It has been found that by specific chemical-etching treatment, the precipitate in Fe-25Cr-6Ni alloy projects substantially and clusters at the surface. The configuration of the precipitate has an extremely high aspect ratio: it is several microns in width and several tens of microns in length (known as micron-spiked).
