Antioxidant and Antiradical Properties of Selected Flavonoids and Phenolic Compounds by Zübeyir Huyut, Şükrü Beydemir, İlhami Gülçin

“…Due to the harmful effects of synthetic antioxidants such as BHA and BHT, natural novel antioxidants have become the focus of attention for protecting foods and beverages and reducing oxidative stress in vivo. In the current study, we investigated the total antioxidant, metal chelating, Fe3+ and Cu2+ reduction, and free radical scavenging activities of some phenolic and flavonoid compounds including malvin, oenin, ID-8, silychristin, callistephin, pelargonin, 3,4-dihydroxy-5-methoxybenzoic acid, 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzaldehyde, and arachidonoyl dopamine. …”

Investigation of mechanical properties in PLA, ABS and epoxy resin parts fabricated by 3D printing technology by Amirhosein Ghaznavi Youvalari, Javad Alizadeh Kaklar, Mahboube Mohamadi

“…Notched epoxy specimens with notch root radii of 1.0 and 0.6 mm exhibited similar fatigue lives, whereas those with a 0.3 mm root radius experienced a fatigue life reduction of approximately one-third. Finite element analysis (FEA) was employed to calculate the maximum von Mises stress at the notch root, demonstrating that the 0.3 mm notch root radius approached a sharp notch and resulted in a substantial effect on stress concentration. …”
