Thermo-mechanical behaviour of a compacted swelling clay [PDF]
Compacted unsaturated swelling clay is often considered as a possible buffer material for deep nuclear waste disposal. An isotropic cell permitting simultaneous control of suction, temperature and pressure was used to study the thermo-mechanical ...

High Density Polyethylene/Ground Tire Rubber Composites Compatibilized by Dicumyl Peroxide
ABSTRACT In this study, the thermal behavior of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) was first evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), which confirmed a peak decomposition temperature around 172°C, highlighting its incompatibility with standard melt‐mixing techniques for most polyolefins. To overcome this limitation,

Prediction of soil-water characteristic curve based on pore size distribution of soils
The soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is an important curve describing the relationship between the suction of unsaturated soils and the saturation or water content, and is an important basis for analyzing the strength, deformation and seepage of ...

Natural Antioxidants as Thermal Stabilizers in Post‐Consumer Polypropylene
A synergistic antioxidant system combining two natural antioxidants, quercetin and tocopherol, enhances the thermo‐oxidative stability of recycled polypropylene. The approach addresses key barriers to the utilization of recycled polymers, offering a sustainable pathway to improve material performance and supporting the broader adoption of recycled ...

Oxidative fast pyrolysis of biomass enables autothermal production of value‐added products. ABSTRACT Oxidative fast pyrolysis can potentially overcome the heat‐supply bottleneck of conventional fast pyrolysis by enabling autothermal operation while also tailoring product quality through controlled oxygen addition.
