This study demonstrates the fabrication of κ-carrageenan fibers by a wet-spinning method and discusses three important spinning parameters: coagulation bath composition, spinning rate and post-spinning mechanical drawing. The as-spun fiber diameter decreased with KCl and ethanol concentration in the coagulation bath. In general, the ultimate tensile stress and elongation at break both increased...

One of the main issues of nanotechnology is producing materials with new properties. Nanotechnology, as a powerful tool, has the ability to create evolution in the agricultural system and food–medicinal industries across the world. Producing a high-performance material from reclaimed cellulose material will increase motivation to recycle these materials at all phases of paper production and rem...

The spinnability of a spinning solution using DMSO as the solvent was investigated for dry-jet wet spinning of PAN precursor fiber. Among many variables responsible for spinnability, the coagulating conditions, the air gap length, the nonsolvent content in spinning solution, and the spinning temperature have been viewed as the key factors, and they were investigated in this study. It was found ...

The Fermi and Swift satellites, together with ground based Cherenkov telescopes, has greatly improved our knowledge of blazars, namely Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars and BL Lac objects, since all but the most powerful emit most of their electro–magnetic output at γ–ray energies, while the very powerful blazars emit mostly in the hard X–ray region of the spectrum. Often they show coordinated variab...

There are two significant issues with the incorporation of smart grid technology in power system operating studies including economic emission, unit commitment problem (UCP). Economic dispatch (EDP) is a UCP sub-problem which find optimum output for given combination running units. When using electro-energy systems to strategically distribute produced by all plants, especially important. Pumped...

It is of significance to construct continuous multiphase percolation channels with fast lithium-ion pathway in hybrid solid electrolytes. 3D ceramic nanostructure frameworks have attracted great attention this field. Herein, the three-dimensional perovskite Li0.33La0.557TiO3 nanotubes framework (3D-LLTO-NT) fabricated via a facile coaxial electro-spinning process followed by calcination at 800 ...

L. L. Cheng, A. G. Zepeda, C. Wu, R. G. Gonzalez, A. Bielecki, D. Cory MGH/Harvard Med School, Boston, MA, United States, MIT, Cambridge, MA, United States Synopsis. Applying high resolution magic angle spinning (HRMAS) NMR spectroscopy to investigate cellular metabolism of diseases has encouraged exploration of slow spinning methodologies to better preserve tissue pathology structures against ...
