Insights into the effect of die swell on extrusion foam thermoplastic polymers are presented. The or Barus is swelling a viscoelastic material due to fast elastic recovery after being subjected stress. proportional energy stored in during deformation that released immediately when free expand. In foam, happens at exit together with foaming process (i.e., bubble nucleation and growth). Previous reports have focused modeling individually. We investigated existence link between fundamental...
Here we demonstrate for the first time that an antibody-gold nanoparticles (AuNPs)-polymer conjugate thin-film biosensor can easily be fabricated to selectively capture Tau protein. Gold (AuNPs) are employed as sensing elements, thus capitalizing on their propensity undergo assembly or disassembly in response adsorption conjugation of various biomolecules surface, thereby forming robust interactions with target analyte. We show protein its different aggregation phases detected, by...
The effect of extrudate swell on extrusion foam thermoplastic polymers is presented using an experimental approach supported by a modelling the phenomenon. Its understanding fundamental in designing geometry die for and to predict foaming. swelling viscoelastic material due fast elastic recovery after being subjected stresses. We show that there exists link between foaming, performing experiments with simple complex dies measure expansion ratio. It was found ratio anisotropic anisotropy...
Optimization of post polymerization processes polyolefin elastomers (POE) involving solvents is considerable industrial interest. To this aim, experimental determination and theoretical interpretation the thermodynamics mass transport properties POE-solvent mixtures relevant. Sorption behavior n-hexane vapor in a commercial propylene-ethylene elastomer (V8880 VistamaxxTM from ExxonMobil, Machelen, Belgium) addressed here, determining experimentally sorption isotherms at temperatures ranging...
Thin liquid films play a crucial role in various systems and applications. Understanding the mechanisms that regulate their morphology is scientific challenge with obvious implications for application optimization. trapped between bubbles air-liquid interface can show configurations influenced by deformation history system characteristics.
Abstract The aim of the paper is to define a method for evaluating infrastructural interventions mitigation noise generated by roads based on multi-criteria analysis which considers series parameters (environmental, social, economic and health) that could give broader evaluations than just convenience. research develops guideline an already known methodology applied in other fields, has been adapted above-mentioned topic: analysis. decision use this originates from in-depth study state art...

Sorption behaviour n-hexane vapour in a commercial propylene-ethylene elastomer (V8880 VistamaxxTM from ExxonMobil) addressed here, determining experimentally sorption isotherms at temperatures ranging 115 to 140 °C...
Bubbles oscillating near a free surface are common across numerous systems. Thin liquid films (TLFs) formed between an bubble and can exhibit distinct morphological features influenced by interfacial properties, evaporation, deformation history. We hypothesize that continuous film presence throughout oscillation results in wimple morphology, whereas intermittent leads to dimple formation. Additionally, we propose the thickness of wimpled depends solely on capillary number Ca, whether...
A novel table-top static devolatilizer is presented for accurate efficiency measurements at different operating conditions. Measurement capabilities and equipment flexibility are demonstrated varying initial volatile concentration, polymer residence time degree of vacuum while continuously measuring the residual amount. O 2 enriched polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) chosen as model system, to simulate removal in a high temperature devolatilizer. The magnitude inlet concentration that can be...
