A Review of Defect Detection and Monitoring Technologies in Selective Laser Melting.

The additive manufacturing (AM) technique has received considerable industrial attention, as it is capable of producing complex functional parts in the aerospace and defense industry. Selective laser melting (SLM) technology is a relatively mature AM process that can manufacture complex structures both directly and efficiently. However, the quality of SLM parts is affected by many factors, resulting in a lack of repeatability and stability of this method.

High-Q Fano Resonance in Terahertz Frequency Based on an Asymmetric Metamaterial Resonator.

We propose a planar metamaterial formed by four-strip metallic resonators, which can achieve high-Q Fano resonance in terahertz regime. This terahertz planar metamaterial supports a sharp Fano resonance at 0.81 THz with 25% transmission.

Plasmon-Induced Transparency Based on Triple Arc-Ring Resonators.

This paper presents a plasmon-induced transparency (PIT) using an easy-fabricating metamaterial composed of three pieces of metallic arc-rings on top of a dielectric substrate. The transmission of the transparent peak of 1.32 THz reaches approximately 93%.

Design of Quad-Band Terahertz Metamaterial Absorber Using a Perforated Rectangular Resonator for Sensing Applications.

Quad-band terahertz absorber with single-sized metamaterial design formed by a perforated rectangular resonator on a gold substrate with a dielectric gap in between is investigated. The designed metamaterial structure enables four absorption peaks, of which the first three peaks have large absorption coefficient while the last peak possesses a high Q (quality factor) value of 98.33.

Hybrid membrane with TiO2 based bio-catalytic nanoparticle suspension system for the degradation of bisphenol-A.

The removal of micropollutant in wastewater treatment has become a key environmental challenge for many industrialized countries. One approach is to use enzymes such as laccase for the degradation of micropollutants such as bisphenol-A. In this work, laccase was covalently immobilized on APTES modified TiO2 nanoparticles, and the effects of particle modification on the bio-catalytic performance were examined and optimized.
