Twenty-three percent of carbon emissions come from fossil fuels used in transportation. Electric vehicles are suggested as alternatives to fossil-fueled vehicles. Cars having vehicle integrated photovoltaics (VIPV) on the roof have recently been launched, aiming increase fuel efficiency and maximum mileage by supplying electricity when needed. VIPV needs be light terms efficiency. The use polym...

Abstract Laminated glass beams without metallic or polymeric reinforcements generally lack post-breakage strength and ductility. This paper aims to perform a comparative study by testing five different fully transparent laminated beam designs in order see how parameters such as the number thickness of sheets (3 x 10 mm 5 6 mm), interlayer material (PVB Clear SentryGlas), thermal treatment (anne...

In a liquid-liquid interface bioreactor, fungal cells locate in a hydrophilic polyacrylonitrile microsphere layer on an aqueous-organic interface. In this article, effects of hydrophobicity of the interface on n-decane hydroxylation activity of Monilliera sp. NAP 00702 was examined. (-)-4-Decanol production was significantly enhanced to 132% by addition of polytetrafluoroethylene.

High voltage outdoor insulation systems are conventionally ceramics and glass with several advantages, such as proven in the field, excellent dielectric properties, durability, long life. However, they heavy, attract vandals break easily, can lose their properties easily when subjected to high transients, arcing, surges. To curb this, polymer insulators used because have those of glass, added a...

One of today’s most-used glass products is a composite made at least two panels connected with soft polymeric interlayer—laminated glass. The mechanical properties such elements are influenced by interlayer and the type used. In this work, experimental numerical analyses laminated exposed to four-point bending performed observe compare stresses displacements caused different parameters, as temp...

Polymeric glazing and mouldings are an extremely high “want” from the transportation community, enabling more creative designs as well as improved part consolidation。 However, plastic windows and mouldings must have high-performance and low-cost protective coating systems with lifetimes in excess of 10 years. Current polymeric glazings do not meet durability/performance requirements for near-te...

We show that thermodynamic scaling can be derived by combining the Murnaghan equation of state (EOS) with generalized entropy theory (GET) glass formation. In our theory, arises in non-Arrhenius relaxation regime as a property fluid configurational density $s_c$, normalized its value $s_c^*$ at onset temperature $T_A$ formation, $s_c / s_c^*$, so constant $TV^{\gamma}$ corresponds to \textit{re...

In this study, we coated the surface of glass slides with nanoprotrusion, nanoparticles, and nanofilm structures by one-step plasma deposition three vinyl monomers. Three functional monomers symmetrical polarity sites were used: methyl methacrylate (MMA), trifluoro methylmethacrylate (TFMA), trimethylsilyl (TSMA). The TSMA/MMA (80/20, mol-%) nanoprotrusion-coated slide was superhydrophobic, a 1...
