About Cover

The current decade witnessed a rapid evolution of Nanobubbles Technology, which has an application prospect in many fields, such as biomedical imaging, hydrogen storage, water treatment, cleaning and promoting the metabolism of living organisms etc. Nanobubble is known as a long-lasting gas-containing cavity in the aqueous solution and these unique properties could be explained by the low internal pressure and surface tension. The cover photo the current January-March 2020 issue of Advanced Materials Proceedings is dedicated to the 26th anniversary of the first hypothesis for the existence of nanobubbles, reported in 1994.

Article 4: A Gower TOPSIS Method For Optimization Of Machining Parameters Of Nimonic 80A Under Cryogenic Cooling And Minimum Quantity Lubrication

The forth article of the issue was focused on the conventional flood cooling method, which fails to minimize the heat generation in the cutting areas and make adverse effect on the environment during machining process. This article is reported by V. Anandan et al. This article optimized results confirm that environment and feed rate are dominant factors and the environment influence is about 84.6%, followed by feed rate at 10.1%. Cryogenic MQL has better effectiveness compared to conventional cooling. The modified TOPSIS method is found to be more effective in machining problems.

Article 5: Effect Of Hybrid Reinforcement On Mechanical Properties Of Al6082 Metal Matrix Composite For Automobile Application

The fifth article discussed about the mechanical behavior of AMMC based reinforced hybrid composites with various volume fractions of Sic (3, 6, 9, 12, 15) and Gr (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Here Stir casting method was adapted for manufacturing the various samples. This article is reported by K. Velavan et al. Further, this article explained the analysis that increase in strength and hardness of the samples with greater percentage compositions of reinforcements. Here composite with enhanced mechanical property was identified and the test results were verified to establish the alignment of the composite with a wide range of industrial and automotive applications.
