Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.Schematic overview of the study approach and key findings. ABSTRACT To evaluate the influence of extrusion on material performance, three processing methods, single extrusion (1x Ex), double extrusion (2x Ex), and double screw compounding (C), were investigated for virgin polypropylene (vPP), recycled PP (rPP), and a blend containing 10% rPP (rPP10 ...

Modeling the Elastic Recovery of PET Bottles via a Free‐Blowing of Preforms Campaign
Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.From free‐blown preforms to mechanical properties. ABSTRACT This study aims to quantify the elastic properties induced by biaxial stretching at different temperatures in order to simulate the complete process including the final elastic recovery. The elastic modulus is identified from geometric measurements obtained during free‐blowing experiments. PET

Exploring the causes and impact of pediatric complicated mild traumatic brain injuries
PM&R, EarlyView.Abstract Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children, with mild TBI (mTBI) accounting for approximately 80% of cases. Complicated mTBI (c‐mTBI) is characterized by radiographic evidence of intracranial abnormalities and/or skull fractures.
