Abstract Open die forging is a process in which products are made through repeated, incremental plastic deformations of a workpiece. Typically, the workpiece is held by a manipulator, which can position the workpiece through program control between the dies of a press. The part programs are generated with an empirically derived parameter, called the spread coefficient, whose value is subject to some contention. In this work, we demonstrate how process information can be used in real time to derive the actual spread coefficient for a given workpiece as it is being formed. These measurements and calculations occur in real time, and can be used to regenerate part programs to optimize the forming process, or can be used to adaptively control each incremental deformation of the workpiece.

In this work, we report the design and fabrication of a dual-function integrated system to monitor, in real time, the release of previously loaded 2-methyl-1,4-naphthoquinone (MeNQ), also named vitamin K3. The newly developed system consists of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) nanoparticles, which were embedded into a poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) biohydrogel during the gelling reaction between the biopolymer chains and the cross-linker, cystamine. After this, agglomerates of PEDOT nanoparticles homogeneously dispersed inside the biohydrogel were used as polymerization nuclei for the in situ anodic synthesis of poly(hydroxymethyl-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) in aqueous solution. After characterization of the resulting flexible electrode composites, their ability to load and release MeNQ was proven and monitored. Specifically, loaded MeNQ molecules, which organized in shells around PEDOT nanoparticles agglomerates when the drug was simply added to the initial gelling solution, were progressively released to a physiological medium. The latter process was successfully monitored using an electrode composite through differential pulse voltammetry. The fabrication of electroactive flexible biohydrogels for real-time release monitoring opens new opportunities for theranostic therapeutic approaches.
