In the field of arterial vascular reconstructions there is an increasing need for functional small-diameter artificial grafts (inner diameter < 6mm). When autologous replacement vessels are not available, for example because of the bad condition of the vascular system in the patient, the surgeon has no other alternati…

This paper deals with the numerical analysis of a test for the bending rigidity of textiles as proposed by Peirce. The mathematical model treats textile product as an elastica which is subject to large deflections. The results of the numerical calculations discussed in this paper are presented on the relevant graphs.…

Foaming of low density poly(ethylene-co-octene) resins by injection molding is the result of various reactions occurring during the process. This includes simultaneous decomposition of the chemical blowing agent and cross-linking of the polymer matrix during curing in the mold, followed by foaming after mold opening.…

We use cryo-scanning electron microscopy to visualize the penetration of a wetting fluid into various bleached softwood kraft papers. The results indicate that the fluid movement is due primarily to the advance of the wetting fluid in the form of bulk liquid films along channels formed by fibre overlaps. This is in co…

The formability of an experimentally produced Mg-9%Li-1%Y alloy sheet with a thickness of 0.6 mm is investigated. Uniaxial tension tests and some fundamental press-forming tests, such as stretching, deep-drawing, and bore-expanding tests, are carried out at room temperature. The sheet has sufficiently high ductility u…

Abstract Polythiophene (PT) was grafted on PE film using three reaction steps. First, PE films were brominated in the gas phase, yielding PE–Br; second, a substitution reaction of PE–Br with 2‐thiophene thiolate anion gave the thiophene‐functionalized PE; finally PT was grafted on the PE surface using chemical oxidati…
