Different-sized α-calcium sulphate hemihydrate (α-CSH) rods were hydrothermally prepared by converting calcium sulphate dihydrate at 110-140°C in the presence of MgCl2, sodium citrate (CANa), and sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) as the modifiers. The α-CSH rods with the average diameters and the average lengths in the ranges of 2.6-5.2 and 17.5-33.1 μm, respectively, were tunably prepared. The presence of the modifiers favoured the formation of small-sized α-CSH rods. The effect of the modifiers on decreasing the diameters of α-CSH rods was in an order of SDBS>CANa>MgCl2. The dissolution rates of the different-sized α-CSH rods prepared at 140°C in simulated body fluid were in an order of α-CSH (CANa)>α-CSH (MgCl2)>α-CSH (reference)>α-CSH (SDBS). The naked and small-sized α-CSH rods had high dissolution rates. The adsorption of SDBS on the surfaces of α-CSH rods decreased their dissolution rates.

Rapid heating cycle molding technology has recently emerged as a novel injection molding technique, with the uniformity of temperature distribution on the mold cavity surface being a critical factor influencing product quality. A numerical simulation method is employed to investigate the rapid heating process of molds and optimize heating power, with the positions of heating rods as variables. The temperature uniformity coefficient is an indicator used to assess the uniformity of temperature distribution within a system or process, while the thermal response rate plays a crucial role in evaluating the heating efficiency of a heating system.

The aim of this study was to develop an electrolysis system to produce silver nanoparticles free from toxic gases, as the most common reduction and electrolysis techniques produce nitrogen dioxide (NO) as a byproduct, which is harmful to human health. The new electrolysis system used two identical silver plate electrodes, replacing silver and carbon rods, and used water as the electrolyte instead of silver nitrate (AgNO) solution since AgNO is the source of NO. The electrolytic silver nanoparticles (ESNs) produced by the new system were characterized and compared with reductive silver nanoparticles (RSNs).

Cigarette brand variant names and characteristics such as the taste and feel of the smoke can mislead consumers into believing some products are less harmful. We assessed the characteristics of three common cigarette variants sold in Australia, "gold", "blue" and "red", to determine which characteristics differed by color, and which affected tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide (TNCO) yields. TNCO yields, physical parameters, expanded tobacco and filter ventilation were measured in cigarette color variants from eight brands.

Braided composites are gaining attention in the most industrial applications. To design rods with optimal tensile properties against combined loads, experimental studies were conducted to investigate the effect of using axial yarn and core in different categories on the tensile properties of braided reinforced composite rods. In this study, six types of braided composite rods with different arrangements of braid components (axial yarn or core type) were produced using glass and polyester fibers with epoxy resin as the matrix.

This study presents a novel rod-cable hybrid planar cable-driven parallel robot inspired by the biological synergy of bones and muscles. The design integrates rigid rods and flexible cables to enhance structural stability and precision in motion control. The rods emulate bones, providing foundational support, while the cables mimic muscles, driving motion through coordinated tension.
