Packed columns are largely adopted for multi-phase reactors and separators, ie, distillation,
production or purification of commercial products, flue-gas treatment, conditioning and …

Abstract 3D printing is changing the way we conceive, design, and build 3D objects in
mechanical, biomedical, aerospace, construction, automotive and maritime industries. In the …

We report the design and results of a novel process combining 3D printing and foaming to
produce microfoamed polymeric structures, from simple strands to more complex …

We report the design of a microcapillary rheometer (μCR) that allows to perform experiments
rapidly and in a broad range of shear rates (ie, from 0.1 to 1000 s− 1), using small amounts …

Activity coefficients of solutes at infinite dilution play a central role in molecular
thermodynamics of phase equilibria, solvation, solubility and related properties. Numerous …

The NETGP-NRHB lattice-fluid model describes the sorption thermodynamics of penetrants
in amorphous polymer–penetrant mixtures locked in an out-of-equilibrium “glassy” state. It …

Polymer matrices, when placed in contact with a fluid phase made of low molecular weight
compounds, undergo a depression of their glass transition temperature (T g) determined by …

We report the design of a multipass microrheometer that can be fully customizable at a low
cost and reasonable time, which allows us to perform experiments rapidly and in a broad …

The cellular morphology of thermoplastic polymeric foams is a key factor for their
performances. Three possible foam morphologies exist, namely, with closed cells …

We explore the foam extrusion of expanded polypropylene with a long chain branched
random co-polypropylene to make its production process simpler and cheaper. The results …
