Fluid Flow in Nanosilver-Impregnated Heat-Treated Beech Wood in Different Mediums

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Specific gas permeability of beech wood was determined and compared with values obtained after nanosilver-impregnation and heat-treatment in three mediums of air, water, and water steam at 150 °C for four durations of 1, 2, 3, and 4 h. Separate sets

A Rare Case of Mesomorphic Behavior–Molecular Reorientation of Itraconazole Liquid Crystal Induced by a Hygrothermal Treatment [PDF]

open access: yesCrystal Growth & Design, 2016
Liquid crystals constitute a unique class of soft state of matter exhibiting the counterintuitive combination of fluidity and order in addition to the unique feature of controllable molecular orientation. Herein, we introduce the use of moisture sorption approach to reversibly realign mesogen molecules within a liquid crystalline phase of itraconazole,

Contributions of atmospheric plasma treatment on a hygrothermal aged carbon/epoxy 3D woven composite material

open access: yesPolymer Degradation and Stability, 2022
In this paper, the effects of hygrothermal ageing and atmospheric plasma surface treatment on a 3D carbon/epoxy-amine woven composite material are studied. The goal is to study the surface evolution of the materials in terms of chemical composition and morphology.
