Abstract This work aims at studying the extensional rheological behavior of polypropylene (PP), ethylene‐butene copolymer (PEB) and their blends in the melt. The weight fraction of the PEB in the blend is 20 and 40%, respectively. Dynamic mechanical analysis shows that these two blends exhibit two tanδ peaks correspon…

Abstract The eddy current brake is a type of braking system used for railway vehicles. Because rail heating is a problem in this type of brakes, they have not been put to practical use in Japan. Therefore we proposed using a linear induction motor (LIM) for dynamic braking in the eddy current brake systems. In this pa…

The electroluminescence (EL) and photoluminescence of Si nanocrystals (Si-nc) from multilayered samples of Si/SiO are investigated. Si-nc are formed within Si and SiO layers after furnace annealing. It is found that the presence of Si interlayers creates extra carrier paths for EL emission. A comparative study is furt…

Abstract A phenomenon that can represent a great problem in melt processing is extrudate distortion. This effect can range in intensity from a loss of gloss to gross distortion and is the factor that limits the production rate in certain processes such as the blown film extrusion of linear low‐density polyethylene (LL…

Phase structure of monolayer graphene is studied on the basis of a U(1) gauge theory defined on the honeycomb lattice. Motivated by the strong coupling expansion of U(1) lattice gauge theory, we consider on-site and nearest-neighbor interactions between the fermions. When the on-site interaction is dominant, the subla…
