The Dynamic Impact Response of 3D-Printed Polymeric Sandwich Structures with Lattice Cores: Numerical and Experimental Investigation.

This paper proposes a dynamic drop weight impact simulation to predict the impact response of 3D printed polymeric sandwich structures using an explicit finite element (FE) approach. The lattice cores of sandwich structures were based on two unit cells, a body-centred cubic (BCC) and an edge-centred cubic (ECC). The deformation and the peak acceleration, referred to as the g-max score, were calculated to quantify their shock absorption characteristic.

Determination of binding affinity for chenodeoxycholate in equilibrium with sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin.

A kinetic dialysis technique together with a radiolabeled chenodeoxycholate (CDC) was used to determine the existence of a relationship between the monomer concentration of CDC and the total CDC concentration in different CDC solutions containing 1 or 5 mM sulfobutylether (SBE)-β-cyclodextrin. On the basis of the nature of the relationship and a binding model with binding constants of K₁ and K₂, the binding affinity for the solutions was quantified at the best curve fitting using a least-squares technique. The very high binding affinity of K₁ and the very low (i.
