Elastoviscoplastic (EVP) materials pose significant challenges for predictive modeling, especially under large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) conditions due to their nonlinear …
Inspection of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites is very important in the aeronautical and transportation industries. Many nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques have …
The effect of micron-sized hydrophobic calcium carbonate particles on the stabilization of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/polyisobutylene (PIB) immiscible model blends is investigated in …
We studied the rheology and morphology of hydrophilic and hydrophobic silica containing polypropylene (PP) and PP/liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) blend. It was found that …
A triple‐band multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) antenna is presented.The proposed antenna consists of a C‐shaped monopole antenna that provides dual‐band resonant antenna. By …
The influence of a reactive block copolymer compatibilizer on the breakup of polymer fibers in the quiescent conditions is investigated using the breaking thread method (BTM). The …
In this study, we examine the polymerization kinetics with different thermal initiators in lamellar and hexagonal lyotropic liquid crystal (LLC) structures directed by Pluronic L64. …
Ethylammonium nitrate (EAN) is one of the most studied protic ionic liquids (ILs) offering unique properties for self-assembly of poloxamers. Understanding how solvent composition in …
Amphiphilic block copolymers self-assemble at the water/oil interface to form different mesomorphic structures, such as lamellar, micellar cubic, normal hexagonal, and reverse …
digitalknowledge.cput.ac.za/handle/11189/8010PDFWe present a model for osmotic pressure and shear modulus of highly concentrated emulsions by including the interdroplet interaction in terms of disjoining pressure. The results show …
