Poor cyclic performance of electrodes in lithium-ion rechargeable cell batteries is calling for efforts to develop continuum models of diffusion under very large stresses and high solute concentrations. The present work is aimed to develop such a model bas ...
The finite-temperature yield stress of Mg-Al alloys undergoing basal slip is investigated using a recently developed parameter-free solute strengthening model. The model takes input from first-principles calculations of the dislocation/solute interaction e ...
This work explores the cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) activity of isoprene secondary organic aerosol (SOA), likely a significant source of global organic particulate matter and CCN, produced from the oxidation with OH from HONO/HOOH photolysis in a temper ...
As a result of ubiquitous excretion by micro-organisms, extracellular polymeric substances are reported in high concentrations in marine systems. The majority of this material is exopolysaccharide (EPS). Despite previous studies showing that EPS can affect ...
In this paper, an oil and dye flow visualization technique applied in two different cases of experimental testing is described, namely a single fan in crossflow and the wake of a compressor cascade. In both cases, the mixture of paint was prepared using a ...
Articular cartilage is a soft tissue that covers the ends of articulating bones, and is essential for maintaining joint motion, i.e. translation and rotation between the bones. Articular cartilage nevertheless has a limited capacity for self-repair, and ca ...
Plasticization of medical grade poly-L-lactide (PLLA) by addition of polyethylene glycol (PEG) with various molar masses has been evaluated as means of producing low stiffness matrices for bioresorbable scaffolds for soft-tissue engineering applications. A ...
The achievement of high ionic conductivity in single-ion conducting polymer electrolytes is one of the important aims for various electrochemical devices including modern lithium batteries. One way to enhance the ionic conductivity in polyelectrolyte syste ...
The catalytic effect of tetraphenylporphyrin on the oxygen reduction with ferrocene in 1,2-dichloroethane can be finely tuned by varying the molar ratio of the acid to the catalyst present in the solution. The mechanism involves binding of molecular oxygen ...
Rheological characteristics of linear copolymers of acrylamide (AM) and acryloyloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (Q9), differing in molar mass and chemical composition, have been studied in distilled water (DW) and industrial water (IW) obtained from a ...
