Effect of fibre treatments on interfacial shear strength of hemp fibre reinforced polylactide and unsaturated polyester composites [PDF]
Surface treatment of hemp fibres was investigated as a means of improving interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of hemp fibre reinforced polylactide (PLA) and unsaturated polyester (UPE) composites. Fibres were treated with sodium hydroxide, acetic anhydride,

Regioregular alternating polyampholytes have enhanced biomimetic ice recrystallization activity compared to random copolymers and the role of side chain verses main chain hydrophobicity [PDF]
Antifreeze proteins from polar fish species are potent ice recrystallization inhibitors (IRIs) effectively stopping all ice growth. Additives which have IRI activity have been shown to enhance cellular cryopreservation with potential to improve the ...
