It took humic acid (HA) as a typical representative membrane foulants, and static and dynamic HA adsorption experiments were carried out on the membranes before and after modification. In the static adsorption experiment of HA, the adsorption capacity of an original membrane was 1.28 times that of a modified membrane. In the dynamic antifouling experiment of HA, the rejection of the modified membrane to HA was 62.99%, while that of the original membrane was only 39.82%. In addition, the experimental results showed that the modified membrane had a higher flux recovery rate, which was 1.18 times that of the original membrane. This study proves that the modified membrane has an extraordinary antifouling effect.","PeriodicalId":16881,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Polymer Engineering","volume":"43 1","pages":"231 - 242"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43640249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thermal stability of polymer is predicted using degradation kinetics study and correlated with it’s optical, thermal and rheological response. To further evaluate performance of secondary antioxidants, thermogravimetry analysis was performed for polypropylene at three different heating rates and processed for iso-conversional analysis to get the kinetic parameters. Oxidation induction data and kinetic parameters have been related with efficiency of the stabilizers. Filtration study was also carried out to understand the efficacy of stabilizers during secondary process.

The prepared surfaces displayed excellent hydrophobicity with contact angles of 154.9° ± 1.5°and 139.8° ± 1.3°, while rolling angles are 4° ± 1.0° (lotus effect) and 30° ± 1.5° (petal effect). Thus, the present study focused on the different characterizations and the anti-icing potential of the superhydrophobic polymersurfaces were analyzed based on three parameters including the icing delay time, the crystallization temperature of water droplets, and contact time of impinging droplets on the cold superhydrophobic polymer coatings (−15 °C). Furthermore, the anti-icing of superhydrophobic coatings between lotus effect and petal effect with freezing time and crystallization temperature experimental phenomena were consistent with the thermodynamic analysis. It is also proved that the droplets have different bounce behavior on different polymercoating surfaces by droplet impact experiment. The study offers a comprehensive perspective on polymercoatings of different wetttablility for anti-icing behavior applications.","PeriodicalId":16881,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Polymer Engineering","volume":"43 1","pages":"277 - 286"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46115279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Amongst the cellulosic sorbents, cellulose phosphate exhibited enhanced sorption properties (as high as 3.09–7.03 g/g) against all seven polar organic liquids investigated, and chitosan and chitin also demonstrated comparable sorption efficiencies (2.28–7.72 g/g and 2.55–5.86 g/g, respectively) to those of cellulose phosphate. According to our investigation, the enhanced sorption efficiency could be achieved due to low powder density of cellulose phosphate, which is caused by the weak intramolecular interaction amongst the polymer chains. In addition, cellulose phosphate, chitosan, and chitin also showed enhanced absorbed solvent recovery percents (71.4, 60.6, and 61.1%, respectively, in average) compared with that of pristine cellulose (43.8%).

In this research, artificial neural network, Gaussian process regression, and support vector regression techniques are used to predict minimum and maximum torque, 30% and 60% cure time of a rubber compound using both process parameters and raw material composition as input. The dataset comprises 1128 batches of the selected rubber compound. A detailed sensitivity analysis is performed to determine the best performing hyperparameters and the prediction performances are expressed as mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). Minimum, maximum, and average MAPE values are presented for each artificial intelligence technique.

In this article, a clear interaction between surface topologies and their roughness depth was identified for the material pairing polyamide 66 – steel. The typical correlation between roughness and wear, initially decreasing and increasing after a wear minimizing roughness, was found for all surface topologies, albeit at different levels. The effect of the surface topology is negligible at low roughness (S z < 2.0 µm) with adhesive wear processes determining the wear behaviour. At higher roughness depths (S z > 2.0 µm), the ability of the surface topology to form a stable transfer film determines the tribological behaviour by limiting the effect of abrasive wear processes. A stable transfer film is formed with sufficient roughness and undercuts in the direction of motion, which can be characterised by the average roughness depth, R z , in the direction of motion. Based on these empirical results, an explanatory model for the observed behaviour is presented.","PeriodicalId":16881,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Polymer Engineering","volume":"43 1","pages":"187 - 197"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41726775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to achieving a sufficient protective effect, there are two other big challenges for satisfying the increasing demand for encapsulated circuit boards. The encapsulation process should be both suitable for mass production and offer a low component load. Injection molding is a method with good suitability for large series production but also with typically high component stress. In this article, two aims were pursued: first, the development of a calculation model that allows an estimation of the occurring forces based on process variables and material parameters. Second, the evaluation of a new approach for stress reduction by means of thermoplastic foam injection molding. For this purpose, simulation-based process data was generated with the Moldflow simulation tool. Based on this, component stresses were calculated with the calculation model. The suitability of the new approach was clearly demonstrated and a significant reduction in shear forces during overmolding was achieved. It was possible to demonstrate a process development that makes it possible to meet the two main requirements of direct encapsulation in addition to a high protective effect.","PeriodicalId":16881,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Polymer Engineering","volume":"43 1","pages":"179 - 186"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48110405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
