Structure and mechanical properties of poly(d,l-lactic acid)/poly(ε-caprolactone) blends
TL;DR: A series of blends of the biodegradable polymers poly(D,L-lactic acid) and poly( epsilon -caprolactone) were prepared by varying mass fraction across the range of compositions as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relaxation behaviour of the amorphous components of wood
TL;DR: In this article, the viscoelastic properties of mod were investigated using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis and differential scanning calorimetry, and two separate glass transitions were identified as arising from the amorphous lignin and hernicellulose matrix in the wood cell wall.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nano/microplastics in water and wastewater treatment processes - Origin, impact and potential solutions
TL;DR: This critical analysis offers new strategies to limit the number of nano/microplastics in water and wastewater to keep water quality up to the required standards and reduce threats on the authors' ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of the entangled amorphous network in tensile deformation of semicrystalline polymers.
TL;DR: Experimental evidence from true stress-strain experiments that support the argument that tie molecules, which connect adjacent lamellae, are of lesser importance with respect to the deformational behavior are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deformation–morphology correlations in electrically conductive carbon nanotube—thermoplastic polyurethane nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, a small amount of multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to thermoplastic elastomer Morthane produced polymer nanocomposites with high electrical conductivity, low electrical percolation and enhancement of mechanical properties including increased modulus and yield stress.

The Determination of the Elastic Field of an Ellipsoidal Inclusion, and Related Problems
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that to answer several questions of physical or engineering interest, it is necessary to know only the relatively simple elastic field inside the ellipsoid.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Phenomena of Rupture and Flow in Solids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of surface scratches on the mechanical strength of solids, and some general conclusions were reached which appear to have a direct bearing on the problem of rupture, from an engineering standpoint, and also on the larger question of the nature of intermolecular cohesion.

Yielding of steel sheets containing slits
TL;DR: In this article, a relation between extent of plastic yielding and external load applied was investigated, and panels containing internal and edge slits were loaded in tension and lengths of plastic zones were measured.
