The influence of immobile filler particles (spheres, fibers, platelets) on polymer-blend phase separation is investigated computationally using a generalization of the Cahn-Hilliard-Cook (CHC) model. Simulation shows that the selective affinity of one of the polymers for the filler surface leads to the development of concentration waves about the filler particles at an early stage of phase sepa...

The VALIDATE project has verified the performance of the DVB-T specification in the laboratory and in field trials. Its successful collaboration has advanced DVB-T technology to the point where services are ready to start. Recent achievements include a multidimensional interworking demonstration, a transmitter specification, single-frequency network synchronisation and gap-filler transmitters (...

Powder-liquid type metal-resin composites, using Ag-Sn irregular particles as the filler, 4-META as coupling agent and UDMA + TEGDMA as resin matrix, were experimentally prepared under 9 different conditions (three different particle sizes and three different filler contents). The flexural strength and flexural modulus were measured. Three different irregular particle size MRCs without redox-in...

in this study, precipitated calcium carbonate (pcc) was modified using cationic starch, and its effect on optical and physical properties of paper was examined in comparison with unmodified filler afterwards. to determine the filler retention in paper, both modified and unmodified fillers were added to pulp suspensions by 20, 30, and 40 percentages. for comparing the utilization effect of modif...

Effect of different fillers on natural rubber compounds was investigated through curing, mechanical properties and morphology studies for improving mechanical performance of rubber articles. In this work, natural rubber blends with Silica as Single-filler compounds, and blends with Silica and Carbon black as Bi-filler compounds were considered. Then, natural rubber blends with Silica, Carbon bl...

normal 0 false false false en-us x-none fa background : the growing interest in filler injection requires a more comprehensive knowledge about the complications of this procedure. methods : a total of 5 cases with debilitating chronic complications following filler injection who were referred to al-zahra hospital, isfahan are presented in this report. results : the outcome of treatment for two ...

We describe the Gems of Galaxy Zoos (Zoo Gems) project, a gap-filler project using short windows in Hubble Space Telescope's schedule. As with previous snapshot programs, targets are taken from pool based on position; we combine objects selected by volunteers both Zoo and Radio citizen-science projects. uses exposures Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) to address broad range topics galaxy morpho...
