Enhancing Flame Retardancy in Polypropylene Composites: A Bayesian Optimization Approach

Fire
The traditional optimization of intumescent flame-retardant polypropylene (PP) relies on large experimental campaigns that scale poorly with compositional dimensionality, limiting the systematic exploration of tradeoffs between fire performance and ...

Fire retardant action of mineral fillers [PDF]

, 2011
Endothermically decomposing mineral fillers, such as aluminium or magnesium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate, or mixed magnesium/calcium carbonates and hydroxides, such as naturally occurring mixtures of huntite and hydromagnesite are in heavy demand as ...

Experimental study of intumescent fire protection coatings [PDF]

, 2010
The use of passive protection materials is one of the measures normally adopted to prescribe structural fire resistance, which intumescent coatings represents about one third of steel fire protection costs and is growing mainly due to their use in off ...

Prognostic Factors Associated with Recovery of Ambulation and Urinary Continence in Dogs with Acute Lumbosacral Spinal Cord Injury [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Limited information is available about prognostic factors for recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI) to the L4-S3 segments. Previous research suggests that L4-S3 SCI does not have a worse prognosis than T3-L3 SCI.

Temporal mechanically-induced signaling events in bone and dorsal root ganglion neurons after in vivo bone loading.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Mechanical signals play an integral role in the regulation of bone mass and functional adaptation to bone loading. The osteocyte has long been considered the principle mechanosensory cell type in bone, although recent evidence suggests the sensory ...

Polystyrene Nanocomposites Based on Quinolinium and Pyridinium Surfactants [PDF]

, 2006
In this paper pyridine and quinoline-containing salts were employed to modify montmorillonite. TGA analysis shows that the quinolinium modified clay has a higher thermal stability than the pyridinium modified clay.

Enhancing the flame resistance of cotton via N-acryloylglycine-based chemical functionalization

Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications
Cotton was chemically modified with N-acryloylglycine (NAG) via oxo-Michael addition under basic conditions at 50 °C, producing COT-g-NAG3 and COT-g-NAG6 with 3 % and 6 % add-ons, respectively. The goal was to graft onto cotton an analogue of the glycine-

Flow Cytometry Characterization and Analysis of Glial and Immune Cells from the Spinal Cord

Neuroglia
Several protocols have been developed with the aim of characterizing glial and immune cells from the central and peripheral nervous systems. However, a small number of these protocols have demonstrated the ability to yield satisfactory results following ...
