Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a powerful tool to address some of the most
challenging issues in glass science and technology, such as the nonequilibrium nature of …

Abstract Poly (etherketoneketone)(PEKK) is a thermoplastic, part of the poly
(aryletherketone)(PAEK) family of polymers, with excellent mechanical performance and …

Important experimental parameters for FTIR spectra acquisition were studied: apodization,
beam aperture, number of scans and spectral resolution, using polyethylene samples. The …

Porous polymer and copolymer membranes are useful for ultrafiltration of functional
macromolecules, colloids, and water purification. In particular, block copolymer membranes …

A critical introduction to lipid shortening systems is provided. The review covers types,
formulations, functionality, and processing conditions required for the production of lipid …

Using a realistic united-atom force field, molecular dynamics simulations were performed to
study homogeneous nucleation of the crystal phase at about 30% supercooling from the …

Polypropylene (PP) was injection moulded several times to mimic the effect of recycling
procedures. The influence of the recycling was studied by following changes in chemical …

The pathway of crystal nucleation significantly influences the structure and properties of
semi-crystalline polymers. Crystal nucleation is normally heterogeneous at low …

Purpose The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of polymer type and
storage relative humidity (RH) on the crystallization kinetics of felodipine from amorphous …

How to solve the divergence between natural and accelerated aging behavior is the core for
the lifetime prediction of polymeric materials, so special attention should be paid to the …
