The share of technical thermoplastics is expected to grow further in the e‐mobility segment. In this study, a detailed temperature‐based tribological characterization of technical thermoplastics is performed. The tribological properties are discussed in terms of the dynamic mechanical properties of polymers at different ambient temperatures. A proof of

Geant4 based Dosimetry Evaluation for Gamma Knife using Different Phantom Materials [PDF]
This study analyses the dose difference for a variety of phantom materials that can be used for Leksell Gamma Knife. These materials have properties that are very similar to the human tissue not including the skull bone. Geant4 was employed in the analysis the dose distributions for collimator helmet sizes of 4mm and 8mm.

Kinetics of the Free-Radical Polymerization of Isobornyl Methacrylate in the Presence of Polyisobutylenes of Different Molar Masses [PDF]
The effect of a linear polymer dissolved in a reactive monomer on the kinetics of free-radical polymerization is studied. The selected system was a solution of polyisobutylene (PIB) in isobornyl methacrylate (IBoMA). Ternary phase diagrams of PIB, IBoMA and poly(isobornyl methacrylate) (PIBoMA) were built at 80C.

Measurement of segmental mobility during constant strain rate deformation of a poly(methyl methacrylate) glass [PDF]
We describe an apparatus for performing constant strain rate deformations of polymer glasses while simultaneously measuring the segmental mobility with an optical probe reorientation method. Poly(methyl methacrylate) glasses were deformed at Tg - 19 K, for local strain rates between 3.7x10-5/s and 1.2x10-4/s.

Scalable Fabrication of Height‐Variable Microstructures with a Revised Wetting Model
Height‐variable microstructures are fabricated using a scalable CO2 laser machining approach, enabling precise control of wettability through structural gradients. Classical wetting models fail to capture height‐induced effects, necessitating a revised theoretical framework.

Shaping Nanoscale Ribbons into Micro-Helices of Controllable Radius and Pitch [PDF]
We report fabrication of highly flexible micron-sized helices from nanometer-thick ribbons. Building upon the helical coiling of such ultra-thin ribbons mediated by surface tension, we demonstrate that the enhanced creep properties of highly confined materials can be leveraged to shape helices into the desired geometry with full control of the final ...
