Abstract: In this paper, we construct a nonlinear reduced order model of a plasticization cylinder of injection machines, which has a spatially distributed nonlinear dynamics. First, a distributed ...

The plasticization of a polymer electrolyte usually promotes its ionic conductivity but decreases its storage modulus due to the increased polymer chain flexibility. Herein, we show that such a ...

Lemon essential oil was used as plasticizers to prepare iron yam/maize starch edible films. Changes of physical, microcosmic and antimicrobial properties of films were studied. Results showed that the ...

Stay up to date with everything that is happening in the wonderful world of AM via our LinkedIn community. Caracol, a global leader in large-format additive manufacturing (LFAM), launched the new high ...

ABSTRACT: Natural resource scarcity, CO2 emissions, and solid waste generated from the construction industry are major global environmental and developmental challenges, posing threats to the ...

Biodegradable polymers are starting to be introduced as raw materials in the food-packaging market. Nevertheless, their price is very high. Starch, a fully biodegradable and bioderived polymer is a ...

Abstract: Moisture sorption of microelectronics packages may lead to plasticization of materials such as epoxide-based transfer-molding compounds. This does not only result in a reduction of the ...

Polymer membranes represent an attractive platform for energy-efficient gas separation, but they are known to suffer from plasticization during continuous gas-separation processes. This phenomenon is ...
