Journal ArticleDOI
Improved Nonlinear PCA for Process Monitoring Using Support Vector Data Description
TL;DR: This paper proposes the use of a support vector data description and shows that transforming the nonlinear principal components into a feature space allows a simple statistical inference and the topology problem for the non linear PCA based on neural networks can be solved.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sintering of biphasic calcium phosphates
TL;DR: X-ray diffraction was used to establish the phases present after sintering and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) determined the microstructure and results show that the surface morphology of the discs was not greatly affected by choice of sintered program.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new model based approach for the prediction and optimisation of thermal homogeneity in single screw extrusion
TL;DR: In this paper, the die melt temperature profile was monitored by a thermocouple mesh and the data obtained was used to generate a model to predict the die melting temperature profile, which was then used to select optimum process settings to achieve the desired average melt temperature across the die while improving the temperature homogeneity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrospun Fibres of Chitosan/PVP for the Effective Chemotherapeutic Drug Delivery of 5-Fluorouracil
Jamie J. Grant,Suresh C. Pillai,Tatiana S. Perova,Sarah Hehir,Steven J. Hinder,Marion McAfee,Ailish Breen +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, an electrospun nanofibrous mat consisting of chitosan (CS) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was constructed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative characterization of clay dispersion in polypropylene-clay nanocomposites by combined transmission electron microscopy and optical microscopy
Shaobo Xie,Eileen Harkin-Jones,Yucai Shen,Peter Hornsby,Marion McAfee,Tony McNally,Raj Patel,Hadj Benkreira,Phil Coates +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, two parameters, degree of dispersion (χ) and mean interparticle distance per unit volume of clay (λV), are proposed to describe the level of clay dispersion.
