Agglomeration during reactive extrusion of particle-based biomass pellets [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesCreating mechanically sound aggregates from powder or grain-like feedstocks is a fundamental challenge across industries. One example is the production of pellets from organic materials, like wood residues and cereal grains, for biofuel and animal feed ...

Investigation of the Reaction Kinetics of Poly(butylene terephthalate) and Epoxide Chain Extender
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, 2023 Polyesters, such as poly (butylene terephthalate) (PBT), owe a rather low melt strength, which is considered as not beneficial for foaming. To overcome this issue, a typical attempt is the incorporation of chemical modifications—so‐called chain extenders

Study of the compatibilizer effect in the properties of starch/polyester blends [PDF]
Polímeros, 2013 The mechanical, viscoelastic and structural properties of starch/ poly (butylene adipate co-terephthalate) (PBAT) blown films produced by reactive extrusion were evaluated using citric acid (CA) and maleic anhydride (MA) as compatibilizers.

Esters of Cinnamic Acid as Green Plasticizers for Polylactide Formulations with Improved Ductility
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, 2023 This study demonstrates the potential of different cinnamate esters, namely methyl trans‐cinnamate (MC), isobutyl cinnamate (IBC), allyl cinnamate (AC), and ethyl cinnamate (EC), as environmentally friendly plasticizers for polylactide (PLA). Plasticized

Materials Research Express, 2020 In this work, the influence of initial viscosity on the Trommsdorff effect was firstly investigated, and it was confirmed that 1000 ± 100 Pa · s of viscosity could be a criterion of the Trommsdorff effect. On this basis, a new inverted two-stage extruder

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...
