Poly(ethylene adipte) and poly(ethylene adipate)/silica nanocomposite (PEAd/SiO2) containing 3 wt. % SiO2  were prepared by an in situ method. The examinations on the non-isothermal crystallization kinetic behavior have been conducted by means of differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The Avrami, Ozawa, and combined Avrami and Ozawa equations were applied to describe the crystallization kinet...

This paper describes the application of the Radial Functions Method to model and simulate polymer processing. The coupled system of energy and motion equations for laminar two-dimensional flows in steady state of incompressible non-Newtonian fluids is considered. The results delivered by RFM are compared with numerical results of other methods, and with analytical solutions based on simplified ...

Techniques of isothermal microcalorimetry have been much improved during the past two decades. In addition to their use in fundamental research, applications of practical importance have been established in some areas. However, no significant use of isothermal microcalorimetry has yet been seen in practical applications of biology, despite many methodological studies reported from that area. Th...

A novel template-dependent extension based isothermal amplification (TEIA) system with high single-base discrimination capability is developed, where the interference caused by non-specific reaction in isothermal strand displacement amplification (SDA) technique is substantially avoided via using a functionalized template probe, showing potential value in the development and application of SDA ...

Non-isothermal crystallization of neat high density polyethylene (HDPE), wood flour (WF)/HDPE composite (WPC), virgin Kevlar fiber (KF) reinforced WPC (KFWPC), and grafted Kevlar fiber (GKF) reinforced WPC (GKFWPC) was investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). Several theoretical models were applied to describe the process of nonis...

Knowledge of the oxidation kinetics magnesium (Mg) particles is important for development advanced propulsion and power systems based on combustion metals. However, reports high-temperature Mg powders in oxygen are contradictory. In present work, spherical non-spherical (flakes) O2 flow was investigated using isothermal non-isothermal thermogravimetry. Three fractions powder were tested, with a...
