Preparation and Characterisation of Cross-Linked Sago Starch Phosphates [PDF]
, 1998 This project was conducted to study the production of cross-linked sago starch phosphate and to characterise the material produced. Sago starch was phosphorylated at various pHs (from 6 to 11) under a range of phosphate salt concentrations (sodium ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 3, 4 February 2026.This study explores the mechanical performance of three auxetic structures, identifying a re‐entrant‐star hybrid as the most effective for impact absorption. Finite element simulations and experiments demonstrate significant gains in energy absorption and flexural strength after geometric optimization. This study investigates the mechanical performance

Evaluation and auger analysis of a zinc-dialkyl-dithiophosphate antiwear additive in several diester lubricants [PDF]
The wear of pure iron in sliding contact with hardened M-2 tool steel was measured for a series of synthetic diester fluids, both with and without a zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate (ZDP) antiwear additive, as test lubricants.

Polymer International, Volume 75, Issue 2, Page 111-120, February 2026.Biodegradable polymer blends are environmentally friendly materials with the ability to tailor material properties according to requirements. Abstract Geotextiles are typically used to stabilize steep earthen structures to prevent landslides. Usually, such geotextiles are made from petrol‐based polymers (such as polypropylene), but the use of ...
