Compression tests at room and high temperature and creep tests at high temperature have been performed on B2 Nb15A120V and Nb10Al20V alloys. At room temperature, in the as-cast state, both alloys exhibited significant ductility in compression. The Burgers vectors of the dislocations were found to be 1/2lipping on {112}. The dislocations showed good mobility. Dislocation clusters also triggered the formation of pseudotwins, which resulted in serrated yielding. In steady state creep, deformation occurred by a combination of dislocation glide and climb, giving a homogeneous mi-crostructure. The dislocations in NblOAl20V were determined to be 1/2(111) slipping on {110} with some egments. After creep at 1100℃, Nb 15A120V showed a two phase structure with a few dislocations in the A15 phase but no dislocations in the A2 phase.

The aim of the present study was the in vitro and in vivo analysis of a bi-layered 3D-printed scaffold combining a PLA layer and a biphasic PLA/bioglass G5 layer for regeneration of osteochondral defects in vivo Focus of the in vitro analysis was on the(molecular)weight loss and the morphological and mechanical variations after immersion in SBF.The in vivo study focused on analysis of the tissue reactions and differences in the implant bed vascularization using an established subcutaneous implantation model in CD-1 mice and established histological and histomorphometrical methods.Both scaffold parts kept their structural integrity,while changes in morphology were observed,especially for the PLA/G5 scaffold.mechanical properties decreased with progressive degradation,while the PLA/G5 scaffolds presented higher compressive modulus than PLA scaffolds.The tissue reaction to PLA included low numbers of BMGCs and minimal vascularization of its implant beds,while the addition of G5 lead to higher numbers of BMGCs and a higher implant bed vascularization.Analysis revealed that the use of a bi-layered scaffold shows the ability to observe distinct in vivo response despite the physical proximity of PLA and PLA/G5 layers.Altogether,the results showed that the addition of G5 enables to reduce scaffold weight loss and to increase mechanical strength.Furthermore,the addition of G5 lead to a higher vascularization of the implant bed required as basis for bone tissue regeneration mediated by higher numbers of BMGCs,while within the PLA parts a significantly lower vascularization was found optimally for chondral regeneration.Thus,this data show that the analyzed bi-layered scaffold may serve as an ideal basis for the regeneration of osteochondral tissue defects.Additionally,the results show that it might be able to reduce the number of experimental animals required as it may be possible to analyze the tissue response to more than one implant in one experimental animal.

In recent years, the need for low energy materials has become increasingly important. With government targets aiming to reduce carbon emissions by 80% by 2050, and the construction industry being responsible for 50% of the UK"s carbon emissions, it is of vital importance that positive changes are made. One of these changes is to reduce the carbon footprint of the materials used in construction. Lime mortar has been used for centuries, but since the arrival of cement, its use in modern construction has diminished, in part due to having lower compressive strengths than cement mortar. Air lime mortar, in particular, can be categorised as low energy due to the reabsorption of a significant amount of CO2 during the setting process: carbonation. The current study focuses on the impact of different types of aggregate (limestone and silicate) on air lime mortar strength. Previous research has found that higher strengths can be achieved with the use of limestone aggregate, but little is known about the reasons why. The research presented here looks at a microstructural analysis through use of SEM (scanning electron microscopy) in order to determine reasons behind the strength differences. At early stages of curing, there are clear differences at the interface of binder and aggregate.
