The multiple beneficial effects of Al₂O₃ nanoparticle addition to cast magnesium based systems (followed by extrusion) were investigated, constituting either: (a) enhanced strength; or (b) simultaneously enhanced strength and ductility of the corresponding magnesium alloys. AZ31 and ZK60A nanocomposites containing Al₂O₃ nanoparticle reinforcement were each fabricated using solidification proces...

Aluminium alloys are one of the most preferred materials in automotive industry due to their properties such as easy recyclability, formability and high specific strength. 6XXX especially used parts good mechanical corrosion fatigue strength.6XXX cast billets or ingots by continuous casting methods. The subjected homogenization heat treatment shaped extrusion, respectively. During extrusion for...

Ultrafast charge delocalization dynamics in an internal donor-acceptor copolymer poly(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-co-bithiophene) (F8T2) and its blend with the fullerene derivative [6,6]-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) was studied by resonant Auger spectroscopy measured around sulfur K-edge using the core-hole clock approach. The effect of thermal annealing on the charge transfer delocaliz...

Transport, mechanical and global migration data concern multilayer food packaging films with different layouts, all incorporating a layered silicate/polyamide nanocomposite as oxygen barrier layer, and a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) as moisture resistant layer in direct contact with food. The data are related to "Tuning of co-extrusion processing conditions and film layout to optimize the pe...

Self-assembly of positively charged and charge-neutral tridentate cyclometalated platinum(II) complexes leads to nanowires and the drop-cast film containing these nanowires behaves as a n-type semiconductor.

The long-term performance of 3D printed concrete structures involves various durability issues, and in this study, we are focusing on frost damage. This can be a serious issue cold places like Switzerland may particularly problematic for owing to the likely presence joints. printing often processing steps such as pumping, set acceleration extrusion, present work, consider effect these condition...

Crambe abyssinica is a plant with potential for use in industrial (non-food) plant oil production. The side stream from this oil production is a high-protein crambe meal that has limited value, as it is not fit for food or feed use. However, it contains proteins that could potentially make it a suitable raw material for higher-value products. The purpose of this study was to find methods of mak...

Combined high strength and toughness of film materials are rather important for their industrial applications. As a new class of films, graphene oxide films (GOFs) attract intense attention in many applications but are frequently divergent, inconsistent, and poorly reproducible in their mechanical properties. In this study, we first demonstrate that different chemical compositions and assembly ...

with mentally handicapped children in his film, 'St. Christopher', leads to an unusual spontaneity and depth of insight into the personalities of his subjects. The rapport between director and 'cast' is made all the more impressive by Adam Mill's sensitive and subtle camera work. The result is that the film is outstanding in many individual sequences. Unfortunately this makes the shortcomings i...

The degradation of different polyethylenes, LDPE, LLDPE, and HDPE, with and without antioxidants and at different oxygen concentrations in the polymer granulates have been studied in extrusion coating processing. The degradation was followed by On Line Rheometry, Size Exclusion Chromatography, Surface Oxidation Index measurements, and GC-MS Chromatography. The degradations starts in the extrude...
