The Nylon Scintillator Containment Vessels for the Borexino Solar Neutrino Experiment [PDF]
Borexino is a solar neutrino experiment designed to observe the 0.86 MeV Be-7 neutrinos emitted in the pp cycle of the sun. Neutrinos will be detected by their elastic scattering on electrons in 100 tons of liquid scintillator. The neutrino event rate in

Microbial abilities to degrade global environmental plastic polymer waste are overstated
Internationally, the environmental damage caused by the improper disposal of approximately 100 Mt of plastic waste per annum is of growing concern. Attempts to address this issue have generated many hundreds of scientific studies announcing the discovery

Mineralizing Coating on 3D Printed Scaffolds for the Promotion of Osseointegration
Design and fabrication of implants that can perform better than autologous bone grafts remain an unmet challenge for the hard tissue regeneration in craniomaxillofacial applications. Here, we report an integrated approach combining additive manufacturing

Performance enhancement of nylon/Kevlar fiber composites through viscoelastically generated pre-stress [PDF]
Kevlar-29 fibers have high strength and stiffness but nylon 6,6 fibers have greater ductility. Thus by commingling these fibers prior to molding in a resin, the resulting hybrid composite may be mechanically superior to the corresponding single fiber ...

Effects of Degree of Particle Melt and Crystallinity in SLS Nylon-12 Parts [PDF]
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) traces for SLS Nylon-12 parts display two distinct melt peaks, which have been related to the presence of both melted and crystallised regions, and un-melted particle cores within the part.
