Biomechanics of isolated plant cuticles
TL;DR: A possible role of the cuticle as a factor for the stabilization of plant organs is discussed, as well as a measure for the stiffness which allows the direct comparison of different materials.

Evaluation of pre-treatment, size and molding pressure on flexural mechanical behavior of chopped bagasse–polyester composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of three processing parameters on the flexural mechanical behavior of chopped bagasse polyester composites was evaluated, and the results showed that composites fabricated with bagasse with size under mesh #20 sieve, and pre-processed for sugar and alcohol extraction showed the best mechanical performance.

Effect of silica nanoparticles on compressive properties of an epoxy polymer
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of nanosilica on compressive properties of an Epikote 828 epoxy at room temperature was studied, and it was found that the presence of nanoparticles improved ductility and promoted higher plastic hardening behavior after yielding in comparison with the unmodified resin system.

TL;DR: The switchability of the mechanical properties and the propensity for self-repair are attributed to changes in the polycation mobility that are brought about by the plastifying effect of water.

Influence of film preparation procedures on the crystallinity, morphology and mechanical properties of LLDPE films
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of various film preparation procedures on the crystallinity, morphology and mechanical properties of pure linear low-density polyethylene and its calcite filled composite films has been studied using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), wide-angle X-ray diffractometer (WAXRD), atomic force microscope (AFM) and ultimate tensile testing machine (UTM).
