Investigating the Influence of Process Parameters on Photochemical Machining of Phosphor Bronze Alloy Microchannels
Abstract: Microchannels are widely employed in microfluidic devices, biomedical systems, and compact heat exchangers, where their functional efficiency depends strongly on surface finish, dimensional control, and edge quality. Traditional machining techniques often face limitations in producing such features with the required precision, prompting the use of advanced micromachining methods. In the present work, photochemical machining (PCM) has been applied to fabricate serpentine-shaped microchannels in phosphor bronze. The study systematically investigates the …

Using Machine Learning to Guess Photochemical Reaction Pathways
Abstract: Photochemical reactions are crucial to many activities in the fields of energy conversion, environmental cleanup, and synthetic chemistry. However, predicting their causes and results effectively is still very hard since they entail excited electronic states, nonadiabatic transitions, and complicated potential energy surfaces. Machine learning (ML) has been a powerful technique to go along with classic quantum chemistry methods in the last few years. It offers better prediction capability and lower …

Utilizing Chemical Machining Methods in the Metalworking Sector
Abstract: Chemical machining is a kind of material removal technique used to produce desired shapes and dimensions by selectively or completely removing material through carefully regulated chemical attack using etchant solutions, which are solutions of acids or alkalis. One type of chemical machining is chemical milling, also known as contour machining, etching, or chemiluminescence. The aerospace industry uses chemical milling to remove thin layers of material from extruded parts for aircraft …

Photochemical Materials for Light-responsive Optical Switching: AI-optimized Design of Dynamic Visual Effects
Abstract: This paper presents an in-depth investigation into the design and behavior of photochemical materials that generate optical illusions and dynamic visual effects through light-induced molecular transformations. The study focuses on advanced photoresponsive compounds such as azobenzene and spiropyran derivatives, emphasizing their reversible optical transitions governed by photoisomerization, phase transitions, and photochromism in solid-state and polymeric matrices. Spectroscopic and kinetic analyses are employed to evaluate the influence of light wavelength, material …
