Additive manufacturing technology has attracted the attention of industrial and technological
sectors due to the versatility of the design and the easy manufacture of structural and …

Detailed knowledge of the organization of amorphous and crystalline phases in a
semicrystalline polymer such as poly (l-lactic acid)(PLLA) is crucial for complete …

Calorimetry is an effective analytical tool to characterize the glass transition and phase
transitions under confinement. Calorimetry offers a broad dynamic range regarding heating …

Crystallization is among the easiest ways to improve polymer barrier properties because of
the tortuosity increase within the material and the strong coupling between amorphous and …

Nanocomposites based on bio-based Poly (ethylene 2, 5-furandicarboxylate), PEF, and
different nanoclays (either sepiolite or montmorillonite, both organically modified) were …

The hydrolysis of poly (lactic acid), PLA, was investigated considering the changes in the
three-phase model structures, the mobile amorphous, crystalline (CF), and rigid amorphous …

Numerous insulating materials such as coatings have been developed and are
commercially available. Hollow glass microspheres (HGMS) as well as fumed silica, despite …

This study investigated and explored the possible use of bio-based Poly lactic acid (PLA) as
a barrier coating material on natural Kraft paper to fabricate coated abrasive products and to …

The improvement of physical and mechanical properties of nanofilled matrices significantly
depends on the average size of dispersed fillers. In particular, the aspect ratio of lamellar …

Magnesium (Mg) is a promising material for bone tissue engineering applications due to it
having similar mechanical properties to bones, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. The …
