Bioconversion and characterization of watermelon rind waste‐based microcrystalline cellulose: A green alternative to synthetic reinforcements

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was extracted from watermelon rind using acid hydrolysis. MCC can be efficiently used as reinforcement in biofilms and biocomposites. Abstract The increasing accumulation of agricultural waste from watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) represents a substantial environmental concern, particularly in view of the extensive ...

The Age and Origin of Block Deposits in the Victorian Alps, Australia

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Large periglacial block deposits are found in the mountains of southeastern Australia. Despite their widespread distribution, their mode of formation and age are poorly understood. These landforms hold considerable potential to shed light on the nature of cooling during glacial periods. In this paper we present a new study of block deposits in

Characterization of Structure, Properties, and Energetic Performance of a 1:1 Ammonium Dinitramide‐3,4‐Diaminofurazan Cocrystal

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
Ammonium dinitramide (ADN) and 3,4‐Diaminofurazan (DAF) form a 1:1 energetic cocrystal. We report its crystal structure and spectroscopic signature and evaluate thermal stability, decomposition behavior, hygroscopicity, and combustion properties. Propellant performance calculations benchmark the material against guanylurea dinitramide (GuDN) and ...

Stop Using Limiting Stimuli as a Measure of Sensitivities of Energetic Materials

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accurately estimating the sensitivity of explosive materials is a potentially life‐saving task that requires standardised protocols across nations. One of the most widely applied procedures worldwide is the so‐called ‘1‐In‐6’ test from the United Nations (UN) Manual of Tests in Criteria, which estimates a ‘limiting stimulus’ for a material. In

Influence of surface topography on friction characteristics in wet clutch applications

Wear, 2006
Abstract In heavily loaded wet clutches, such as in limited slip differentials, sintered friction materials are sometimes used due to their resilience at high loads and high temperatures as well as their competitive cost in comparison to alternative friction materials.
