Sentence examples for dimensional swelling from inspiring English sources

Overall water uptake and dimensional swelling of the membranes were also affected by the cross-linker length.

The use of different surfactant modified clays induced sufficient hydrophobicity in the membranes that led to higher phosphoric acid (PA) loading and controlled dimensional swelling in both water and PA.

Among these AEMs, Cr-PPO-g-Q115 presented a high hydroxide conductivity of 128 mS/cm at 90 oC, a low dimensional swelling of 6.0%, and a dramatically improved thermal and alkaline stability compared with the uncross-linked membranes.

In addition to tracking methanol absorption and dimensional swelling, the time-dependent concentration profiles within the polymer disc were determined with higher resolution, lower scanning times, and no major geometry restrictions compared to previous state-of-the-art techniques.

One dimensional swelling normal to the surface is observed for all brush solvent pairs; brushes swollen in good solvents generally exhibit decreasing polymer density along the thickness direction of the brush, while poor solvents swell the brush with minimal changes in the bulk brush density profiles relative to the dry state.

As a result of physical entanglement and hydrogen bonding, the mechanical strength of the PAA electrolyte is enhanced from 0.656 to 1.875 MPa at a CNF loading of 3 wt%, and the dimensional swelling is suppressed to half of its original level.

The confined swelling pressure test results indicated that the cement had a greater effect in reducing vertical swelling pressure than the lateral swelling pressure of the soils during one-dimensional swelling.

Microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) films containing the water soluble and pharmaceutically approved polymer hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) exhibited an unexpected decrease in permeability and excellent one-dimensional swelling properties above a threshold in HPMC content.

Although isotropic three-dimensional swelling of natural rubber occurred over the whole sorption transient period, this condition was unable to explain the swelling (thickness increase) of low-density polyethylene.

For a membrane in contact with liquid methanol and water on one side and conditioned air on the other, the corresponding differential equations and boundary conditions were derived in a polymer-related coordinate system taking into account the polymers three-dimensional swelling.

In the latter system, a model consisting of two stages had to be adopted: stage I where the swelling was mainly one-dimensional, and stage II which occurred later and was characterized by three-dimensional swelling similar to that occurring in natural rubber.
