This paper investigates the effects of polyethylene glycol (PEG), on the mechanical and thermal properties of nalidixic acid/poly ε-caprolactone (NA)/PCL blends prepared by hot melt extrusion. The blends were characterized ...

The micromechanical deformation of an austenitic stainless steel under uniaxial tension at elevated temperature (550 °C) following room-temperature compression has been examined in this work. The study combines micromechanical ...

The effect of a range of solvents on the catalytic oxidation of methyl phenyl sulfide to methyl phenyl sulfoxide by MP-11 and by a cyclodextrin derivative of MP-11 was examined. The addition of low concentrations of alcohols ...

In numerous industrial applications, the microstructure of materials is critical for performance. However, finite element models tend to average out the microstructure. Hence, finite element simulations are often unsuitable ...

This work details the estimation of the secondary nucleation kinetics of paracetamol in ethanol solutions for cooling crystallisation processes, by means of isothermal under-seeded batch experiments. A numerical model, ...

Removal of CO2 from CO gas mixtures is a necessary but challenging step during production of ultra‐pure CO as processed from either steam reforming of hydrocarbons or CO2 reduction. Herein, two hybrid ultramicroporous ...

Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials possess the widest versatility in structure, composition, and synthesis procedures amongst the known families of materials. On the other hand, the extraordinary affinity between MOFs ...

The isolation behaviour of polyimide thin films has been studied. Properties such as DC conductivity and the threshold electrical fields were obtained through a steady state current measurement under an applied voltage ...

Novel porphyrin and triphenylamine based organic dyes with different electron-donating moieties, π-bridging units and cyanoacetic acid as an acceptor (D-π-A) were characterised for use in dye-sensitized solar cells. The ...

Opportunistic pathogenic bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, pose a serious risk to patients suffering from a compromised immune system and those patients with cystic fibrosis. Confirming their presence often ...
