The temperature dependence of the Flory–Huggins interaction parameter χ for poly(n-butyl acrylate)-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PBA-b-PMMA) was quantified from small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) analysis using random phase approximation (R...
In this work, the effect of ply stacking sequence of carbon/epoxy laminates subjected to flexural, tensile and impact loading was investigated. Five laminates with different stacking configurations were produced using the hand-laying-up technique. Th...
Graphene (G) can effectively enhance polymers’ and polymer composites’ electric, thermal, and mechanical properties. Nanofibrous mats have been demonstrated to significantly increase the interlaminar fracture toughness of composite lamina...
A composite thin shell with a high fiber volume fraction prepared by resin transfer molding (RTM) may have void defects, which create deformations in the final curing and lead to the final product being unable to meet the actual assembly requirements...
This study shows the effectiveness of magnetic-guide targeting in the delivery of curcumin diethyl γ-aminobutyrate (CUR-2GE), a prodrug of curcumin (CUR) previously synthesized to overcome unfavorable physicochemical properties of CUR. In this...
The reliable viscoelastic characterization and prediction of micellar solution is still required in industrial applications of the solution, e.g., in surfactant flooding and pharmaceuticals. Based on the recent theoretical characterization of the vis...
The investigation of hybrid, woven, natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites as a substitute reinforcement for fiber polymer composites has recently caught the interest of academics, industry, and researchers. Woven, natural fiber composites have...
A polymer model exhibiting heterogeneous Johari–Goldstein (JG) secondary relaxation is studied by extensive molecular-dynamics simulations of states with different temperature and pressure. Time–temperature–pressure superposition of...
Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) have attracted extensive attention due to their high energy density and low cost. The separator is a key component of LSBs. An excellent LSBs separator requires not only good electrolyte wettability, but also high ther...
The structure and performance of polyurethane (PU) foams are strongly driven by the stoichiometry of the polyaddition reaction, quantitatively described by the isocyanate index. It determines the balance between isocyanate and hydroxyl groups in the...
