Abstract This model is highly helpful in thermal management and complex energy systems, particularly where precise control over heat and mass transfer is required. Solarized nanofluids can be used to improve heat absorpt...

Polymer additives fulfill several functions, both in processing the material and in improving the properties of the product, and can act, for example, as antioxidants, light stabilizers, antistatic agents, flame retarda...

Polymer-modified asphalts (PMA) are known to improvepavement performance, but they have limitations, such as poor storagestability, oxidation susceptibility, low compatibility, and weak adhesion tomineral aggregates. To ...

The vinylidene fluoride copolymer with tetrafluoroethylene P(VDF-TFE) is a typical ferroelectric polymer that has not been sufficiently studied so far in comparison with pure polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and its copoly...

The experience of many theoretical and practical works concerning the technology of PTFE-composites formation has been analyzed and systematized. The peculiarity of the work consists in the fact that PTFEcomposites reinf...

Processing residues from adult Tenebrio molitor were evaluated as a sustainable source of chitin and chitosan through an optimized enzyme-assisted extraction strategy. Preliminary proximate analysis revealed a high chiti...

The extremely high peak intensity associated with ultrashort pulse width of femtosecond laser allows us to induce nonlinear interaction such as multiphoton absorption and tunneling ionization with materials that are tran...

Mechanical tests and studies of the structure of modified polyethylene film materials used as packaging elements of electronic devices have been carried out. The modification provided for the introduction of fillers of v...

The optical and electronic tunability of the conductive polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) has enabled emerging applications as diverse as bioelectronics, flexible electronics, a...

Abstract Machining damage occurs on the surface of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites during processing. In the current simulation model of CFRP, the initial defects on the carbon fiber and the periodic ra...

In the last three years, 2 billion tonnes of untreated and dismissed agricultural wastes have been accumulated without adequate management of reuse or final disposal, resulting in dumping or burning. The circular economy...

Direct laser interference patterning (DLIP) is a laser-based surface structuring method that stands out for its high throughput, flexibility and resolution for laboratory and industrial manufacturing. This top–down tec...
