Abstract Experimental studies of the gravitational deposition of a polydisperse water-in-oil emulsion under heat influence are carried out. When the rate of thermal convection exceeds the rate of precipitation, partial delamination of the emulsion is found to occur. The viscosity of the dispersion medium decreases with increasing temperature, which contributes to an increase in the deposition rate of water droplets in the emulsion. In the presence of a temperature difference, convective flows occur in the liquid, while the drops of the emulsion coagulate and form larger agglomerates that settle faster to the bottom of the cell.

To deliver on the promise of cardiac regeneration, an integration process between an emerging field, nanomedicine, and a more consolidated one, tissue engineering, has begun. Our work aims at summarizing some of the most relevant prevailing cases of nanotechnological approaches applied to tissue engineering with a specific interest in cardiac regenerative medicine, as well as delineating some of the most compelling forthcoming orientations. Specifically, this review starts with a brief statement on the relevant clinical need, and then debates how nanotechnology can be combined with tissue engineering in the scope of mimicking a complex tissue like the myocardium and its natural extracellular matrix (ECM). The interaction of relevant stem, precursor, and differentiated cardiac cells with nanoengineered scaffolds is thoroughly presented. Another correspondingly relevant area of experimental study enclosing both nanotechnology and cardiac regeneration, e.g., nanoparticle applications in cardiac tissue engineering, is also discussed.

The objective of the study is to build a simple but informative model to describe the kinetics of layering granulation in a batch fluidized bed reactor. A cell model based on the theory of Markov chains to describe this kinetics is proposed. Several parallel chains of perfectly mixed cell according to the number of size fractions, which are under observation, were introduced. The vectors of particles volume content in the cells describe the state of the process. Evolution of the state is conditioned by particles transition from the cells of one chain to another due to their size enlargement during granulation and by particles migration along the chains due to their interaction with fluidizing gas upstream flow. The process is observed in a discrete moments of time. It is supposed that the volume of binding solution coming into a cell of a chain during one time step interacts only with the particles that can enlarge their size to transit to the cell of the next larger size fraction. The migration of the particles of a size fraction along its chain is controlled by the matrix of transition probabilities, which is different for each size fraction and depends on the total particles concentration. The model allows qualitative estimating of influence of the process parameters on the granulation kinetics. In order to validate the model, the experimental study of ammonium sulphate granulation in the lab scale fluidized bed reactor was carried out. The comparison of theoretical and experimental results was done for the example of particle size enlargement at different flow rate of the binding solution feed. A good correlation between theoretical and experimental data was found for both the mean particle size growth and the fraction size distribution at different moments of time.

Metal powder 3D printing technology is gaining popularity due to the possibility of producing structural elements of complex geometry, which production with the methods used so far is difficult or impossible to obtain. An example of a material used in the parts production by the additive method is 316L steel, which is used in the production of bone support screws, surgical tools and needles, or in other industries for the production of exhaust manifolds, parts of furnaces or heat exchangers. The study investigated the mechanical properties, hardness and microstructure of 316L steel produced in the selective laser melting process (SLM). Based on the tests, the following mechanical properties of 316L steel were obtained: Su = 566.7MPa, Sp0.2 = 484MPa, E = 113820MPa, A = 79.5%, Z = 72.3%. The hardness test results show a significant increase in hardness as the tensile test approaches the sample fracture. The structure of 316L steel in the grip part is characterized by the formation of visible semi-elliptical zones of the material alloy, the pools with crystallized grains with a cell-column structure oriented in the direction of the thermal gradient. This type of microstructure is characteristic of technology in which, after solidification, the cooling process takes place at high speed.

We present an experimental study of foam-flow characterization inside a 3D granular media packed in a cell. We show that flow behavior is related to foam microstructure.
