Impact of axisymmetric deformation on MR elastography of a nonlinear tissue-mimicking material and implications in peri-tumour stiffness quantification. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2021 Solid tumour growth is often associated with the accumulation of mechanical stresses acting on the surrounding host tissue. Due to tissue nonlinearity, the shear modulus of the peri-tumoural region inherits a signature from the tumour expansion which ...

Plastisol gelation and fusion rheological aspects [PDF]
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2013 AbstractThis study deals with the rheological aspects of poly‐vinyl chloride (PVC) plastisol gelation and fusion processes in foamable formulations. Here, such processes are simulated by temperature‐programmed experiment (5 K min−1) in which complex viscosity components are continuously recorded. Nineteen samples based on a PVC‐VAC (vinyl acetate 95/5)

Healing Function for Abraded Fingerprint Ridges in Tactile Texture Sensors [PDF]
SensorsTactile texture sensors are designed to evaluate the sensations felt when a human touches an object. Prior studies have demonstrated the necessity for these sensors to have compliant ridges on their surfaces that mimic human fingerprints.
