Generative AI-Based Inverse Design of Sustainable Biodegradable Polymers with Target Mechanical and Thermal Properties
Abstract: The escalating global plastic pollution crisis has intensified the urgent need for sustainable biodegradable polymer alternatives that can match or exceed the performance of conventional petroleum-based plastics while minimizing environmental impact. However, traditional polymer discovery approaches are severely constrained by high experimental costs, protracted development cycles spanning years, and fundamental inability to simultaneously optimize multiple conflicting material properties such as mechanical strength, thermal stability, and degradation kinetics. This study presents …

Solidification Curve Analysis of Cylindrical Casting by FEM
Abstract: In casting process, molten metal is solidified in mould cavity. Solidification process majorly classify into three different sections: (i) liquefaction (ii) solidify (iii) after solidification. In all three processes, one parameter which is called 'IHTC' (Intermediate Heat Transfer Coefficient), is varies with time. IHTC coefficient depends on shape, size, type of casting etc., so, it is continuously varies with all dependent functions. So, establishment of IHTC value is a very …

Comparison of Bond Strengths of Nano and Microhybrid Flowable Composites for Orthodontic Bonding: An Invitro Study
Abstract: Introduction: When the orthodontic brackets are bonded to the etched enamel, the ideal orthodontic adhesive should have optimal bond strength and be able to withstand masticatory forces as well as orthodontic forces. At the same time, when the treatment is completed, the bracket should debond without causing any damage to the enamel. There have been many recent advances in composites in general and their applications in orthodontic use is questionable. …
