Semicrystalline poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was oriented with an equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) process at room temperature, which applied simple shear deformation and generated unique asymmetric lamellar texture. In-situ small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements were utilized to study the change…

A dynamical vector hysteresis model is presented, which is a generalization of a quasistatic model proposed in a recent paper. The model can be considered from the point of view of a mechanical analogy with the pinning of Bloch walls phenomenon represented by a friction force. By combining several elementary submodels…

Poly( l -lactic acid) (PLLA) is a candidate for feedstock recycling materials, because it easily depolymerizes back into the cyclic monomer, l, l -lactide. To examine the recycling of PLLA from blends with other kinds of polymers, a polymer blend of PLLA and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) was prepared and the…

A finite element method is presented to compute the electromagnetic field and hence the temperature rise in complex three-dimensional structures such as power transformers. The temperature dependence of both the heat transfer coefficients and the electric conductivity is taken into account establishing a strong coupli…

Propylsulfonic acid-functionalized mesoporous silica materials were synthesized using a co-condensation technique. The catalytic performance of the resulting acidic mesoporous materials was evaluated in the methanol esterification of free fatty acids in beef tallow as a pretreatment step for alkyl ester production.

The authors present a novel nonlinear homogenization technique for laminated iron cores in three-dimensional (3-D) finite-element (FE) models of electromagnetic devices. The technique takes into account the eddy current effects in the stacked core without the need of modeling all laminations separately. A nonlinear co…

Chitosan/poly(methacrylic acid) complexes, CS/PMAA, were prepared via dropwise addition of a solution of PMAA to a solution of chitosan in acetic acid 2 wt %. The increase in molecular weight of PMAA inhibited the formation of insoluble complexes, while the increase in ionic strength first favored the formation of the…
