A major #bioethanol facility in #Redcar is at risk of shutting down unless urgent #government intervention is secured, its ...

Investigating temperature's effect on polymer stiffness, this research highlights Young's modulus variations, essential for ...

Temperature variations significantly impact the mechanical properties of polymers, particularly Young's modulus, affecting ...

Strain-induced crystallization (SIC) is one of the most significant phenomena in semicrystalline polymers. During the stretching process, ordered structures occur in the crystalline and amorphous ...

The experiments were carried out in a temperature ranging from 25 °C to 300 °C, with a heating rate of 10 °C.min-1. The calculation method considers the energy to melt all PP crystalline structures.

Amorphous minerals, in contrast to their crystalline counterparts, lack a well-ordered atomic structure. In fact, “amorphous minerals” is a bit of a misnomer , as minerals cannot be amorphous ...

Its crystal allotropes are well-characterised but the amorphous form is more controversial, with evidence of both ring and chain structures under different conditions. Sulfur and tellurium, which sit ...

The structure of semi-crystalline polymers largely depends on how strongly their molecular chains are entangled. This has been shown in a new study by researchers from Martin Luther University ...

The amorphous polymer film was fabricated with a solution-cast method while the semi-crystalline polymer film was fabricated with a melt extrusion method. There has been a growing interest by ...

Conductive organic materials often derive their electronic properties from highly organized crystal structures. Now, researchers have developed an organic polymer that conducts electricity like a ...
