In this article, experimental results on the effect of CO2 sorption and desorption on the creep response of polycarbonate (PC) are presented. Tensile specimens machined from PC sheets were exposed to CO2 and the absorbed gas mass fraction ranged from 0.045 to 0.12. The creep/creep recovery response of as-received PC, saturated PC, and saturation-cycled PC was characterized. It was found that th...

Application of excess nutrients such as fertilizers is a significant and sometimes even major component of ground water pollution. Diffuse inputs of nutrients and contaminants to the ground water are related to runoff generated from precipitation in a catchment. Catchment’s response depends on site conditions and its physical properties. This implies that the analysis of diffuse fluxes from the...
