A novel method was proposed to produce thermoplastic elastomers containing ground tyre rubber (GTR). The new proprietary technology is based on the fact that bitumen and related materials may contribute to the devulcanisation of GTR and act at the same time as plasticiser and compatibiliser in the blends. Blends conta…

A cryogenic treatment (-306°F) was applied to C2 tungsten carbide (WC -6% Co) and compared with untreated carbide to determine if tool wear could be reduced during turning tests with medium density fiberboard (MDF). Both the tool force data and observation of the cutting edges indicate that tool wear was reduced. The…

Valve morphogenesis was followed in normal living cells, during treatment with anti-cytoskeletal drugs, and in cells fixed for electron and immunofluoresence microscopy. The long terminal spine-like extrusion is a tubular labiate process (LP). The new valves and LPs were initiated by mid-cleavage. After cytokinesis, t…

A crystalline form of hydrated calcium phosphate, brushite (CaHPO 4 ⋅2H 2 O), has been studied by means of total energy First Principles calculations based on the Density Functional Theory (DFT) approximation. The experimental crystal lattice parameters of this mineral have been reproduced with good agreement. The pow…

Abstract Summary: The influences of short chain branching (SBC) on the melt miscibility of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) with linear high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) were investigated by rheological methods. Two LDPE resins with different branch contents were blended with the same linear HDPE. Dynamic and steady she…
