Longitudinal Compressive Property of Three-Dimensional Four-Step Braided Composites after Cyclic Hygrothermal Aging under High Strain Rates

Applied Sciences, 2020
The longitudinal compressive behavior of the three-dimensional four-step braided composites after cyclic hygrothermal aging was investigated using a split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) apparatus under high strain rates (1100~1250 s−1, 1400~1600 s ...

Hygrothermal ageing of reprocessed polylactide [PDF]

Polymer Degradation and Stability, 2012
The influence of an accelerated hygrothermal ageing simulation test on a commercial PLA and its three subsequent mechanically-reprocessed materials was studied. The analysis was focused on the water diffusion kinetics and the physico-chemical changes induced by the hygrothermal degradation.

From Devices to Systems: Integration Strategies for Micro‐Supercapacitors in Microsystems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Micro‐supercapacitors are evolving from device‐level energy storage toward system‐level functional units in integrated microsystems. This Review presents a system‐oriented design framework in which integration serves as the key link between application requirements, system constraints, device architectures, and material selection. Monolithic and hybrid

Hygrothermal Performance of Adobe Structures

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2023
Abstract Vernacular architecture incorporates many cooling and heating passive design strategies related to the structural envelope, the different architectural arrangements and the way of living of the inhabitants. Adobe walls are considered to be high thermal mass masonries, as they have the ability to store thermal energy.

Oxygen transmission rate in American oak barrel staves used for wine aging: Influence of wood macrostructure

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Oak barrels are widely used in wine and spirit aging, where oxygen transmission plays a key role in the development of chemical and sensory properties. In cooperage, stave selection is traditionally based on grain width; however, the extent to which grain and wood macrostructure determine oxygen transmission under barrel conditions ...
