The Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS) offers a great potential for developing the use of geothermal energy, allowing the creation of hydrothermal reservoirs in deep and hot geological formations, where energy production was impossible due to a lack of fluid ...
The use of a tetrafunctional epoxy-based additive to modify the molecular structure of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was investigated with the aim of producing PET foams by an extrusion process. The molecular structure analysis and shear and elongatio ...
The rheological properties in solution, in shear and in uniaxial elongation of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) reacted together with hyperbranched polymers (HBPs) were investigated. Two different PET grades, of low and high molecular weights, were compo ...
Fluids are pervasive in fault zones cutting the Earth's crust; however, the effect of fluid viscosity on fault mechanics is mainly conjectured by theoretical models. We present friction experiments performed on both dry and fluid-permeated silicate and car ...
The aim of this thesis has been to assess the potential of branched polymers as novel exfoliants for layered silicates and their application in polyurethanes. Three different types of –OH functional branched polymers have been studied: dendrimers, hyperbra ...
Tectonic faults are often lubricated by viscous fluids which can have different natures e.g. gas, water, brine, melt and viscosities varying over 7 order of magnitude (from 10-4 for water to 103 Pa s-1 for a melt at high temperature). Moreover, understandi ...
We report experimental results related to the dam-break problem for viscoplastic fluids. Using image processing techniques, we were able to accurately reconstruct the free-surface evolution of fixed volumes of fluid suddenly released a plane. We used Carbo ...
The objective of this review is to examine how the concept of plasticity is used in geophysical fluid dynamics. Rapid mass movements such as snow avalanches or debris flows involve slurries of solid particles (ice, boulder, clay, etc.) within an interstiti ...
This PhD thesis aims at developing a system which can measure the mechanical properties of fluidic samples in the picoliter range. The ultimate goal is the characterization of cancer cells and viscoelastic fluids (i.e. biological fluids), in order to study ...
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 ...
