Due to the wide use of channel strut components, manufacturing is implemented in many industrial plants. Standard technology of profiles is based on welding of two parts of the profile and requires the regalvanizing of the joint zone causes. Thus, the production is challenging to automate on a single line. The main idea of the article is to present a concept of a channel strut, a cold-formed continuous metal component with an open or closed profile section. It would serve as a cantilever support instead of a standard solution. In the article, a unique lock system combination is proposed and analyzed both numerically and experimentally to provide steadiness of the strut without welding or other joining techniques. Two main lock shapes-semicircular and triangle-were proposed with some variations in the cutting plane. Analyses were carried out for three main profile cross-sections with different dimensions, based on the current industrial applications. The semicircular type of the lock was found to be the most stable, giving optimal strength to the strut under assumed loading, comparable to traditional solutions. The commercial FEM software MSC Marc was used for the numerical analysis.

Calcium sources can increase mechanical properties of 3D printed bioactive hybrid bone scaffolds.

Inorganic/organic hybrid biomaterials have been developed to obtain synergy of the inorganic and organic co-networks for implant and 3D printed scaffold applications, providing combinations of bioactivity, toughness and controlled biodegradation. SiO-CaO/PTHF/PCL-diCOOH sol-gel hybrids previously showed potential for osteogenesis due to the addition of calcium to the silicate network of the hybrid, using calcium methoxyethoxide (CME) as the calcium source. Here, we investigate other calcium sources to improve mechanical properties and printability of the hybrid inks.

Struts of a superconducting YBaCuO (YBCO) foam prepared by the infiltration growth method on the base of commercial polyurethane foams were extracted from the bulk, and thoroughly characterized concerning the microstructure and the magnetoresistance, measured by the four-point technique. Optical microscopy, electron microscopy, electron backscatter diffraction and atomic force microscopy observations indicate a unique microstructure of the foam struts which shows a large amount of tiny YBaCuO (Y-211) particles (with diameters between 50 and 100 nm) being enclosed in channel-like grain boundaries between the YBCO grains and a one-of-a-kind surface of the struts covered with BaCuO-particles. The resistance data obtained at temperatures in the range 4.

The incorporation of crown ether into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is garnered significant attention because these macrocyclic units can fine-tune the inherent properties of the frameworks. However, the synthesis of flexible crown ethers with precise structures as the fundamental building blocks of crystalline MOFs remains a challenging endeavor, with only a limited number of transition metal examples existing to date. Herein, 18-crown-6 and 24-crown-8 struts are successfully incorporated into the skeleton of zirconium-based MOFs to obtain two new and stable crown ether-based MOFs, denoted as ZJU-X100 and ZJU-X102.

This study develops a hybrid 3D printing approach that combines fused deposition modeling (FDM) and digital light processing (DLP) techniques for fabricating bioscaffolds, enabling rapid mass production. The FDM technique fabricates outer molds, while DLP prints struts for creating penetrating channels. By combining these components, hydroxyapatite (HA) bioscaffolds with different channel sizes (600, 800, and 1000m) and designed porosities (10%, 12.

Hybrids consist of inorganic and organic co-networks that are indistinguishable above the nanoscale, which can lead to unprecedented combinations of properties, such as high toughness and controlled degradation. We present 3D printed bioactive hybrid scaffolds for bone regeneration, produced by incorporating calcium into our "Bouncy Bioglass", using calcium methoxyethoxide (CME) as the calcium precursor. SiO-CaO/PTHF/PCL-diCOOH hybrid "inks" for additive manufacturing (Direct Ink Writing) were optimised for synergy of mechanical properties and open interconnected pore channels.
