The blends were evaluated by their rheology (from changes in torque during melt processing and blending reflecting melt viscosity, and their melt flow rate), morphology scanning electron microscopy (SEM), dynamic mechanical properties (DMA), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis, and solubility (Molau) test.
Storage, processing, and blending of meat from HEV-positive and -negative animals (e.g., sausage) might substantially decrease risks for foodborne infection, possibly explaining why HEV food transmission in Europe seems relatively inefficient.
The three play key roles in processing, storing and blending PDVSA's oil for export.
Post-curing tobacco processing, leaf shredding and blending Post-curing, tobaccos intended for cigarette production are often stored at ambient temperatures for extended periods of time.
We proposed for the first time a correlation between major processing and blend parameters and the probability of carbon nanotube transfer due to the development of a nanoscaled wetting angle.
We propose a mixed-integer nonlinear optimization for process design synthesis of oil-refinery units that includes crude-oil mixing, unit processing and product blending.
Variations in raw material properties (e.g., particle size), feeder hopper level, amount of lubrication, milling and blending action, applied shear in different processing stages can affect the blend density significantly and thereby tablet weight, hardness and dissolution.
This study revealed a previously unknown processing temperature and blending composition for two well-known polymers that optimized SMC interactions.
Through filtering, MNF processing, and mosaic blending, we show that the background nonuniformity and image tiling artifacts are barely noticeable which allows for clean large area TMA scans.
Results suggest that chaotic mixing is a useful tool for studying relationships among processing conditions, morphology development, and blend properties and may serve as a means to more deliberately obtain target morphologies.
Approaches include: chemical cross-linking, chemical grafting, chemical substitutions/derivatizations, biocatalysis, plasticization, novel processing, blending and compatibilization with other polymers and additives.
