Decoupling Formulation and Processing Effects in Thermoplastic Starch Through a Data‐Driven Structure–Property Framework

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Processing‐property relationships in thermoplastic starch (TPS): plasticizer type, starch source and melt‐processing temperature establish a hierarchy of effects that governs process‐induced changes and the resulting TPS properties. ABSTRACT Thermoplastic starch (TPS) is a melt‐processable biopolymer whose properties depend strongly on formulation and ...

The iPP Printing Paradox: Interlayer Adhesion Through Crystallization

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
In fused filament fabrication of isotactic polypropylene, high molecular weight and a high print speed increase the shear during deposition. This shear promotes the formation of the ductile β‐phase at the interphase, which improves interlayer adhesion, as shown by an eightfold increase in fracture energy measured via a T‐peel test on two printed ...

Performance improvement of carbon fiber‐reinforced ABS composites by introducing fullerene nanoparticles

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Fullerene particles were incorporated with CF‐reinforced acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene terpolymer (ABS) matrix at three different compositions by a melt‐compounding process. These insights are crucial for the optimization of conductive hybrid composites for various applications.

Hierarchical Reaction‐Induced Phase Separation in Epoxy/Oligomeric Poly(phenylene ether) Blends: Multiscale Structural and Mechanical Heterogeneity

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Hierarchical morphology does not always improve toughness. In epoxy/oPPE blends, curing creates oPPE‐rich primary domains containing nanoscale secondary heterogeneity, as revealed by microscopy, X‐ray scattering, and AFM nanomechanics. Fracture observations show that primary domain–matrix interfacial separation limits tensile ductility despite the ...

Insights Into Paint‐Bake Toughening of Resistance Spot Welds of a 2.0 GPa Warm‐Stamped Medium‐Mn Steel

steel research international, EarlyView.
Paint baking of resistance spot welded joints of 2.0 GPa warm‐stamped medium‐Mn steel activates low‐temperature tempering, forming fine cementite in the fusion zone and enhancing toughness. Crack propagation resistance increases, shifting the failure mode from partial interfacial to complete pullout, with peak load and energy absorption rising ...

Barbara's Daughters: Women's Boxing and Social Memory in Britain

History, EarlyView.
Abstract A pioneer of post‐war boxing, Barbara Buttrick fought in fairgrounds and on music‐hall stages in Britain and France before making a career in the United States during the 1950s. She fought against practical obstacles, prejudice and discrimination to become the Women's World Flyweight and Bantamweight Champion in 1957. This article examines her
