Fig. 4: Compression tests for sintered microparticles (MPs) with cross-sections including square, isosceles triangle and star-shape.
From: One-pot microfluidic fabrication of micro ceramic particles
a Schematic illustrations of compression tests for sintered MPs with various shapes and postures, P0 for square MPs, P1 for triangular standing MPs, P2 for triangular lying MPs, P3 for star-shaped standing MPs and P4 for star-shaped lying MPs. b Force−displacement curves of P0 with SiO2, Al2O3 and Si3N4 materials. c The maximum force (Fmax) and d energy absorption (Ea) of P0 MPs during the compression process before failure, data are represented as mean values ± s.d. from 15 samples. e–g Force−displacement curves of P1, P2, P3 and P4 with SiO2, Al2O3 and Si3N4 materials. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
