IMAGE ANALYSIS CHARACTERIZATION OF HIGHLY ORIENTED FREEZE-DRYING POROUS MATERIALS
Image analysis has been used as a potential tool for the characterization of the texture of ultramacroporous foams prepared by freeze-drying. It has been shown that this technique actually provides valuable information on the structure of this kind of ...

Synergistic Effect of Intumescent Flame Retardant and Organically Modified Montmorillonite on Flame-Retardant and Foaming Properties of High Density Polyethylene/Walnut Shell Powder Biocomposites [PDF]
The synergistic effects of organic montmorillonite (OMMT) and ammonium polyphosphate (APP) on flame retardant enhancement of High density polyethylene/walnut shell powder (HDPE/WSP) biocomposite were investigated by using the limiting oxygen index (LOI),

ABSTRACT Introduction Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Although statins are the cornerstone of lipid‐lowering therapy, their use may be limited in some patients by adverse effects. This study evaluated the possible impact of non‐drug treatment using double‐filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) on CD14+

Failure mechanism of PMI foam core sandwich beam in bending
Polymethacrylimide (PMI) foams have been widely applied in aerospace engineering as the core material of sandwich structures. This paper proposes a modified model to predict the constitutive relation of PMI foams and compares it to existing testing data.

Single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assays for high‐throughput DNA–protein interaction studies
We describe an optimised single‐molecule DNA flow‐stretch assay that visualises DNA–protein interactions in real time. Linear DNA fragments are tethered to a surface and stretched by buffer flow for fluorescence imaging. Using λ and φX174 DNA, this protocol enhances reproducibility and accessibility, providing a versatile approach for studying diverse ...

Heat transfer enhancement for thermal energy storage using metal foams embedded within phase change materials (PCMs) [PDF]
In this paper the experimental investigation on the solid/liquid phase change (melting and solidification) processes have been carried out. Paraffin wax RT58 is used as phase change material (PCM), in which metal foams are embedded to enhance the heat ...
