This study investigates the thermal behaviour of discontinuous carbon fibre reinforced polyphenylene sulphide (CF/PPS), additively manufactured by material extrusion, with a focus on effects process conditions degree crystallinity, oxidation crosslinking and mechanical properties CF/PPS from filament fabrication, extrusion to annealing treatment. The screw parameters are optimised performing an...

[1] We investigate seismicity near faults in the Southern California Earthquake Center Community Fault Model. We search for anomalously large events that might be signs of a characteristic earthquake distribution. We find that seismicity near major fault zones in Southern California is well modeled by a Gutenberg-Richter distribution, with no evidence of characteristic earthquakes within the re...

Chemical and biological properties of the ice nucleating sites of Pseudomonas syringae, strain C-9, and Erwinia herbicola have been characterized. The ice nucleating activity (INA) for both bacteria was unchanged in buffers ranging from pH 5.0 to 9.2, suggesting that there were no essential groups for which a change in charge in this range was critical. The INA of both bacteria was also unaffec...
