Uni- and bimodal Weibull distribution for analyzing the tensile strength of Diss fibers

open access: yesJournal of Natural Fibers, 2018
The present work considered several statistical distribution functions with the aim to critically analyze the strength data of natural Diss fibers. Besides the Weibull two-parameter distributions, three-parameter and bimodal Weibull were used. Kolmogorov–

Ultrahigh High‐temperature Capacitive Energy Storage Via Proton Irradiation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Proton irradiation concurrently induces enhanced dielectric constant and breakdown field in aromatic polymers with ether bonds, which enables an ultrahigh discharged energy density of 6.9 J cm−3 at above the efficiency of 95% at 150 °C, exceeding current dielectric polymers and nanocomposites.
