Composite materials are a combination of several materials to form a new material with specific properties. Chemical compatibility of the constituent materials is a factor that affects the characteristics of composite materials. Currently, composite phase change materials (PCM) are commonly applied as thermal energy storage systems. This study investigated the characteristics of beef tallow/rice husk charcoal/plaster PCM composite. The weight fraction of rice husk charcoal used was 10%. To prevent leakage of beef tallow from the composite structure, the researcher used polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) to cover the tallow/RHC composite before mixing it with plaster material. As much as 30% of the tallow/RHC/PVAc composite weight fraction is integrated into the plaster. PCM composite was made by using a direct incorporation method. The FTIR test results on the PCM composites produced showed good chemical compatibility among different components. The scanning electron microscope results showed the formation of microcapsules where the rice husk charcoal and polyvinyl acetate functions as a wrapper/capsule for beef tallow. This composite is suitable for application in building walls as thermal energy storage.
This work aims to evaluate a parallelizable approximate solution model for the wave equation. For that, we used the temporal sweep known as the Waveform Relaxation method to guarantee the parallelization in space. How...

Organ-on-a-chip has the potential to replace preclinical trials which have been problematic for decades due to unaffordable cost and time. The performance of in vitro tumor-on-a-chip depends on how accurately the system represents analogous tumor-microenvironment (TME) and TME associated phenomena. In this study, we have focused on angiogenesis, one of the most significant features of TME for tumor growth and metastasis. Angiogenesis in TME is triggered through cascaded interactions among TME associated neighboring cells including immune cells, tumor cells, and fibroblast cells [1]. Therefore, temporally-controlled TME-on-a-chip is desired for an accurate representation of angiogenesis. However, conventional microfluidic devices cannot temporarily manipulate the condition of interacting cells and secreted signal molecules. Here, we proposed a hydrogel-based variable TME-on-a-chip with diffusion switch channels. The channels between hydrogel walls enable temporal diffusion control by controlling inflow. The diffusion control was observed in diffusion experiment with a fluorescent dye. Furthermore, experiment of HUVEC's migration toward diffused VEGF also confirmed that TME-on-a-chip is capable of reproducing an angiogenic switch triggering through temporal diffusion control. Due to a simple fabrication procedure, the design of the microfluidic device can be easily modified to represent more complex variable TME models.
