Gamma- and Electron Beam-Induced Crystalline modification in Poly (Lactic Acid): Effects of Radiation Dose and Dose Rate
Abstract: Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is an important commercial biodegradable polyester whose properties are dictated by its molecular architecture and semicrystalline nature. The application of ionizing radiation particularly gamma rays and electron beams is extensive for sterilization and materials processing. The effect of ionizing radiation on the crystallinity of PLA is complex however, since irradiation causes concurrently chain scission, radical formation, oxidation, recombination and mobility driven structural reorganization. This work studies the …

ML-Driven Defect Detection in Additive Manufacturing of Polymer Composites Using Thermal Imaging
Abstract: Polymer-based flexible biosensors have emerged as a pivotal technology in continuous health monitoring, yet their deployment in real-world settings is often hindered by undetected micro-defects and signal distortion caused during fabrication or usage. Existing diagnostic frameworks typically rely on post-hoc processing or bulky instrumentation, failing to offer scalable, real-time detection during additive manufacturing workflows. This study introduces an end-to-end, thermographic imaging-integrated framework for in-situ defect identification during the additive manufacturing …

Microvita as a Fermi-Boson Hybrid Quantum Excitation: A Statistical Pathway Toward Unified Physics, Chemistry, and Biological Organization
Abstract: This article reformulates Microvita as a hybrid quantum excitation that interpolates continuously between fermionic and bosonic statistical behavior. A generalized operator algebra, a dynamical statistical order parameter, and a Lorentz-covariant field equation are used to frame Microvita as an effective unification scheme rather than a mere philosophical construct. The formalism predicts renormalization-group flow between infrared fermionic and ultraviolet bosonic limits, while numerical profiles suggest vacuum-energy smoothing and topological-defect suppression in …
