Maleated thermoplastic starch by reactive extrusion

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2008
Novel maleated thermoplastic starch (MTPS) with both improved processing and reactivity useful in the melt-blending with biodegradable polyester was prepared through in situ reactive modification of thermoplastic starch (TPS) with maleic anhydride (MA) as esterification agent. Glycerol was used as plasticizer.

Learning Moisture‐Induced Damage From Vision: Diffusion Models for Real‐Time Monitoring of Additive Manufacturing Processes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We introduce a vision‐based real‐time monitoring system for additive manufacturing that detects subtle moisture‐induced degradation via a diffusion model‐based framework. The approach enables nondestructive assessment of moisture‐induced damage level and mechanical performance and establishes a practical route toward more intelligent, reliable, and ...
