Drying and cracking mechanisms in a starch slurry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Starch-water slurries are commonly used to study fracture dynamics. Drying starch-cakes benefit from being simple, economical, and reproducible systems, and have been used to model desiccation fracture in soils, thin film fracture in paint, and columnar ...

Effective moisture diffusivity of Sierrathrissaleonensis cracker: optimization, sensitivity and uncertainty analyses

open access: yesScientific African, 2021
Sierrathrissaleonensis (SL) is a low valued fish in Nigeria because of its small size and availability of fleshy alternatives. Therefore, an alternative utilization of SL is crucial. In this study, SL was used to produce fish cracker (SLC).

Interphase effect on the effective moisture diffusion in epoxy–SiO2 composites

open access: yesMicroelectronics Reliability, 2022
Epoxy Mold Compounds (EMC) are used to protect integrated circuits (IC) from environmental influences, with one of these influences being moisture ingress, causing corrosion. To obtain the needed thermal and mechanical properties EMCs require a high loading of (silica) fillers, introducing a large amount of interface.
