Microlayer coextrusion is capable of producing multilayer composites with anywhere from 30
to 1000 layers, each layer having a thickness of 20− 5000 nm. Microlayer coextrusion …

A review of the different coextrusion processes and the related processing problems is
presented. A one-dimensional bilayer coextrusion Poiseuille flow model is first developed …

Cellulose-based conductive composite fibers hold great promise in smart wearable
applications, given cellulose's desirable properties for textiles. Blending conductive fillers …

In the development of innovative textiles, product enhancements on the fiber level are most
effective. With bicomponent melt spinning, several functionalities can be combined in one …

Multilayered films of poly (lactic acid)(PLA) and thermoplastic starch (TPS) offer
complementary characteristics that are promising for sustainable packaging applications. In …

Bicomponent fibers were melt spun to investigate the effect of individual component viscosity
on the cross section morphology. Two couples were tested, polypropylene MFI 18 (PP 18) …

Tensor representations allow compact storage and efficient manipulation of multi-
dimensional data. Based on these, tensor methods build low-rank subspaces for the solution …

Abstract “Encapsulation phenomena”, which always caused the higher viscosity fluid
sandwiched by the lower viscosity fluid, has been observed several decades ago, which …

This paper concerns the numerical study of a class of box-relaxation (coupled) smoothers for
multigrid solvers applied to the variable viscosity Stokes problem. In particular, we address …
