With microplastics (MPs) being detected in aquatic environments, numerous studies
revealed that they caused severe environmental issues, including damage to ecosystems …

Weighing is one of the oldest and fundamental of measurement methods used in the
analytical laboratory. When this method became combined with the ability to make …

Blends of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are widely used in
products such as hoses and seals. As part of a project that uses NBR/PVC blends for …

Polymeric materials are widely employed to build up tunable nanomasks for nano-patterning
technologies. Ultrathin polymer layers are involved in this process. A Thermo Gravimetric …

An innovative method based on thermogravimetric analysis combined with gas
