Additives' structures. ABSTRACT Poly(vinyl chloride) has been a key polymeric material since its commercial production in 1931, demonstrating versatility across numerous industries due to its compatibility with various additives. PVC's inherent properties, flame retardance, durability, and recyclability make it ideal for building and construction ...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Home‐Field Advantage (HFA) theory—positing that litter decomposes faster at its site of origin—allows us to disentangle the respective influences of litter quality, soil biota composition, and microclimate on shifts in litter decomposition following land use conversion.

Fire stability of carbon fiber reinforced polymer shells on the intermediate-scale
The fire stability of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) shell structures was investigated using an intermediate-scale test setup. The shell specimens are representative of typical load-bearing CFRPs in modern civil aviation. The CFRP shell specimens

Abstract The fire behaviour of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) and carbon fibre woven composite laminate commonly used in civil aircraft is studied. This study investigates the temperature distribution characteristics of the standard flame when obstructed by plates, as well as the structural behaviour and temperature distribution of the ...

ABSTRACT Lake sediments are natural archives of past environmental dynamics and how these systems have responded to past climate variability. Sediment geochemistry, governed by local geology and climate processes, is unique to each lake‐catchment and geochemical proxies must be validated for each study site.

The Material Basis of 18th‐Century Meissen Porcelain
ABSTRACT In the summer of 1708, the quest for making hard‐paste porcelain from Saxonian clay and other mineral resources succeeded. This was achieved by applying as its essential ingredient newly discovered pure kaolin from Heidelsberg near Aue, western Saxon Ore Mountains.
