The integrated circuits industry has been continuously producing microelectronic
components with ever higher integration level, packaging density, and power density, which …

This paper reviews current knowledge about the rheology and applications of highly
concentrated molten polymers, focusing on hard particles with sizes ranging from several …

The densest amorphous packing of rigid particles is known as random close packing. It has
long been appreciated that higher densities are achieved by using collections of particles …

Some of the most popular cellulose derivatives exhibit charged functional groups, either
cationic (generally, quaternary ammonium moieties) or anionic (most typically, carboxylate …

The efficient development of extrusion-based 3D-printing requires flexibility in both
formulation-and process design. This task requires a fundamental understanding of the …

The polysaccharide gel layer surrounding hydrated chia seeds was extracted using water
and isolated by ethanol precipitation. The freeze-dried sample consisted of∼ 95% non …

Proppant transport in activated natural fractures and induced secondary fractures has been
increasingly receiving attention. However, the roughness and the non-planarity of hydraulic …

Despite of substantial progresses in reinforcement mechanism of nanoparticle-filled
polymers (NPFPs), there are great debates about the fundamental hydrodynamics theories …

A comparative study was conducted on composite materials having various nanocarbon
fillers of different dimensionalities, namely, 1D carbon nanotubes (CNTs), 2D graphite …

Producing cementitious materials with low CO 2 emissions is a key challenge for
sustainability, considering the increasing demand for cement and the inefficacy of current …
