TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of preparation conditions on the thermal and morphological behavior of the nanocrystals were investigated and a possible correlation between preparation conditions and particle size was not observed.

TL;DR: In this paper, two high-resolution, general-purpose, small-angle neutron scattering instruments have been constructed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Center for Neutron Research.

TL;DR: In this article, a solution blow spinning technique was developed using elements of both electrospinning and melt blowing technologies as an alternative method for making non-woven webs of micro- and nanofibers with diameters comparable with those made by the electro-spinning process with the advantage of having a fiber production rate measured by the polymer injection rate.

TL;DR: Anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) has been sold since 1995 to reduce irrigation-induced erosion and enhance infiltration as mentioned in this paper, which has been shown to improve runoff water quality by reducing sediments, N, dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP), pesticides, weed seeds and microorganisms in runoff.

TL;DR: In this paper, a blend of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) with a polyester plasticizer (Lapol 108) at two different concentrations (5 and 7% by weight per 100 parts of the blends) were investigated by TGA, DSC, XRD, SEM, mechanical testing and biodegradation studies.
