Ítem Effect of chemical composition and microstructure on the mechanical behavior of fish scales from Megalops Atlanticus(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2016-03-01) Gil-Duran, S.; Arola, D.; Ossa, E.A.; Gil-Duran, S.; Arola, D.; Ossa, E.A.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ingeniería de Producción; Materiales de IngenieríaThis paper presents an experimental study of the composition, microstructure and mechanical behavior of scales from the Megalops Atlanticus (Atlantic tarpon). The microstructure and composition were evaluated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and RAMAN spectroscopy, respectively. The mechanical properties were evaluated in uniaxial tension as a function of position along the length of the fish (head, mid-length and tail). Results showed that the scales are composed of collagen and hydroxyapatite, and these constituents are distributed within three well-defined layers from the bottom to the top of the scale. The proportion of these layers with respect to the total scale thickness varies radially. The collagen fibers are arranged in plies with different orientations and with preferred orientation in the longitudinal direction of the fish. Results from the tensile tests showed that scales from Megalops Atlanticus exhibit variations in the elastic modulus as a function of body position. Additional testing performed with and without the highly mineralized top layers of the scale revealed that the mechanical behavior is anisotropic and that the highest strength was exhibited along the fish length. Furthermore, removing the top mineralized layers resulted in an increase in the tensile strength of the scale. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.Ítem Growth of magnetite films by a hydrogel method(Elsevier B.V., 2017-06-15) Velásquez, A.A.; Marín, C.C.; Urquijo, J.P.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ciencias Básicas; Electromagnetismo Aplicado (Gema)Magnetite (Fe3O4) films were grown on glass substrates by formation and condensation of complex of iron oxides in an agarose hydrogel. The obtained films were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Room Temperature Mössbauer Spectroscopy (TMS), Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Voltage vs. Current measurements by the four-point method. FTIR and TGA measurements showed that some polymer chains of agarose remain linked to the surface of the magnetic particles of the films after heat treatment. SEM measurements showed that the films are composed by quasi spherical particles with sizes around 55 nm. Mössbauer spectroscopy measurements showed two sextets with broaden lines, which were assigned to magnetite with a distributed particle size, and two doublets, which were assigned to superparamagnetic phases of magnetite. For the specific dimensions of the films prepared, measurements of Voltage vs. Current showed an ohmic behavior for currents between 0 and 200 nA, with a resistance of 355 kO. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.Ítem Study of APS and conventional sintering parameters for the manufacture of TiO2 targets for PAPVD(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2019-01-01) Jaramillo Raquejo D.; Palacio C.C.; Ageorges H.; Jaramillo Raquejo D.; Palacio C.C.; Ageorges H.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ciencias; Electromagnetismo Aplicado (Gema)In surface science of functional oxides, titanium dioxide (TiO2) is one of the most investigated crystalline systems either in rutile or anatase phases. In this work commercial TiO2 powders are used to study the required process conditions to obtain TiO2 targets by Atmospheric Plasma Spray (APS) and conventional sintering, with suitable physical and chemical properties to be source material for Plasma Assisted Physical Vapor Deposition (PAPVD) for technological and medical applications. Two three factor Box Behnken experimental designs combined with surface modeling were employed to estimate the influence of spraying parameters (gun current, Ar/H2 ratio and standoff distance) and sintering parameters (heating rate, sintering temperature and holding time) within the targets microstructure (cracks and pores in cross section) and phases composition. The microstructure and composition of APS-deposited targets and sintered ones were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The lowest defects percentages of the targets manufactured in this work were 0.41 ± 0.30 % for APS-deposited targets and 0.05 ± 0.04 % for the sintered ones using the optimal parameters suggested by the statistical model, which allowed confirming the advantages of sintering process and limitations of APS in terms of microstructural homogeneity, but also of the use of design of experiments in the modeling of systems of many variables when there is not diagnostic equipment of the processes available. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.Ítem Synthesis of Alumina Thin Films Using Reactive Magnetron Sputtering Method(IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 2017-06-13) Angarita G.; Palacio C.; Trujillo M.; Arroyave M.; Angarita G.; Palacio C.; Trujillo M.; Arroyave M.; Universidad EAFIT. Departamento de Ciencias; Electromagnetismo Aplicado (Gema)Alumina (Al2O3) thin films were deposited on Si (100) by Magnetron Sputtering in reactive conditions between an aluminium target and oxygen 99.99% pure. The plasma was formed employing Argon with an R.F power of 100 W, the dwelling time was 3 hours. 4 samples were produced with temperatures between 350 and 400 °C in the substrate by using an oxygen flow of 2 and 8 sccm, the remaining parameters of the process were fixed. The coatings and substrates were characterized using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) in order to compare their properties before and after deposition. The films thicknesses were between 47 and 70 nm. The results show that at high oxygen flow the alumina structure prevails in the coatings while at lower oxygen flow only aluminum is deposited in the coatings. It was shown that the temperature increases grain size and roughness while decreasing the thicknesses of the coatings. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
