This study employs molecular dynamics to simulate the atomic-level effects of ultrasonic cavitation on microcrack-containing aluminum blocks, aiming to deepen our understanding of its mechanism on metallic materials. The results indicate that the microcrack size tends to decrease or close after impact. Following cavitation impact, many dislocations form around the microcrack tip, facilitating partial and complete closure through dislocation shielding and atomic diffusion. The crack healing process is intricately linked to the external forces generated by the impact and the changes in surface energy within the crack. Following crack healing, stresses in the matrix tend to concentrate around the healed microcrack area, stacking faults, and grain boundaries. Additionally, cracks, grain size, grain boundaries, and grain orientation influence stress distribution. This study investigates the atomic-scale microstructural evolution and mechanical behavior changes of aluminum blocks containing microcracks under cavitation impact. The findings offer valuable insights into the effects of cavitation on metals with microcracks, providing theoretical support for future applications of ultrasonic cavitation technology in the processing of metallic materials with cracks.

This study investigates the role of porosity in silicon nanoparticles' ability to act as sonosensitizers for sonodynamic therapy of malignant tumors. Structural analysis showed that porous nanoparticles are composed of nanocrystals approximately 4 nm in size and contain 15 nm pores, whereas non-porous nanoparticles have a dense structure with nanocrystals ranging from 10 to 50 nm. Porous nanoparticles exhibit pronounced photoluminescent properties, associated with quantum confinement effects in their small nanocrystals.

In this study, cellulose fibers were extracted from corn husks and magnetized by co-precipitation method. To increase the total pore volume and surface area, magnetic cellulose (FeO-Cellulose) was modified with metal-organic frameworks (Al-MOFs) and used as a low-cost biosorbent for doxorubicin removal. Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method results showed that the specific surface area of magnetic cellulose after modification with MOFs increased from 106.
