Mechanical behavior optimization of chitosan extracted from shrimp shells as a sustainable material for shopping bags (2018)
Journal Article
D’Angelo, G., Elhussieny, A., Faisal, M., Fahim, I., & Everitt, N. M. (2018). Mechanical behavior optimization of chitosan extracted from shrimp shells as a sustainable material for shopping bags. Journal of Functional Biomaterials, 9(2), Article 37. https://doi.org/10.3390/jfb9020037

The use of biodegradable materials for shopping bag production, and other products made from plastics, has recently been an object of intense research—with the aim of reducing the environmental burdens given by conventional materials. Chitosan is a p... Read More about Mechanical behavior optimization of chitosan extracted from shrimp shells as a sustainable material for shopping bags.

Nanoindentation shows uniform local mechanical properties across melt pools and layers produced by selective laser melting of AlSi10Mg alloy (2016)
Journal Article
Everitt, N. M., Aboulkhair, N. T., Maskery, I., Tuck, C., & Ashcroft, I. (2016). Nanoindentation shows uniform local mechanical properties across melt pools and layers produced by selective laser melting of AlSi10Mg alloy. https://doi.org/10.5185/amlett.2016.6171

Single track and single layer AlSi10Mg has been produced by selective laser melting (SLM) of alloy powder on a AlSi12 cast substrate. The SLM technique produced a cellular-dendritic ultra-fined grained microstructure. Chemical composition mapping an...
