Carbon-Fibre-Reinforced Polymers (CFRPs) have seen a steady rise in modern industrial applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. However, their potential is being hindered by delamination which is induced on them during machining operations. This has led to the adoption of new and innovative techniques like cryogenic-assisted machining which could potentially help reduce delamination. This study is aimed at investigating the effect of cryogenic conditions on achieving better hole quality with reduced delamination. In this paper, the numerical analysis of the drilling of CFRP composites is presented. Drilling tests were performed experimentally for validation purposes. The effects of cooling conditions and their subsequent effect on the thrust force and delamination were evaluated using ABAQUS/CAE. The numerical models and experimental results both demonstrated a significant reduction in the delamination factor in CFRP under cryogenic drilling conditions.

An increasing number of pharmaceutical products require deep cold storage at cryogenic conditions, approximately -150°C to -190°C, to maintain stability and/or activity. Previous work has revealed that, at these extreme conditions, a typical pharmaceutical package configuration (vial, stopper, crimp cap) may lose container closure integrity (CCI) due to both the glass transition temperature (-55°C to -70°C) of the rubber stopper used to seal the vial and the different thermal expansion coefficients of the primary packaging components. Importantly, this type of temporary breach in CCI frequently reseals itself when the vial is brought back to ambient temperature.

In orthopedic surgery, precise bone screw insertion is crucial for stabilizing fractures, necessitating a preliminary cortical bone drilling procedure. However, this process can induce temperatures exceeding 70 °C due to the low thermal conductivity of cortical bone, potentially leading to thermal osteonecrosis. Furthermore, significant cutting forces and torque pose risks of tool breakage and bone damage, underlining the need for high precision and optimal processing parameters.

The reversible emulsion drilling fluid system combines the advantages of both oil-based and water-based drilling fluids, which can achieve ideal results in different stages of drilling and completion, and the system can be reused to effectively reduce costs. However, the research on reversible emulsions mainly focuses on the development of new reversible emulsifiers, while the specific phase transformation mechanism of reversible emulsion systems is still unclear. In this paper, a stable reversible emulsion was prepared using the reversible emulsifier DMOB as a raw material, and the reversible emulsion performance of the alkali response from the O/W emulsion phase to the W/O emulsion was studied.

Hypothesis: Worm-like micelles are susceptible to heating owing to the fast dynamic exchange of molecules between micelles. Inhibition of such exchange could afford robust worm-like micelles, which is expected to largely improve rheology properties at high temperatures.
Experiments: A cationic surfactant docosyl(trimethyl)azanium chloride (DCTAC) and a strongly hydrophobic organic counterion 3-hydroxy naphthalene-2-carboxylate (SHNC) were used for the worm-like micelles fabrication.

In this study, the drilling performance of biodegradable grade Mg-9Al-1.4Zn alloy reinforced with hollow thin-walled AlO microspheres is inspected under different coolant environments such as dry, Almag mineral oil, and liquid nitrogen. Drilling experiments were carried out using titanium aluminum nitride PVD coated and uncoated K10 tools on varying volume fractions of magnesium syntactic foams (5%, 10%, and 15%) reinforced with hollow AlO microspheres.
