Linoleum heterogeneous nature deriving from the simultaneous presence of lignocellulosic and inorganic fillers and oil/rosin binders, made the evaluation of matrix/filler compatibilization strategies necessary.

This study establishes an energy-based evolution mechanism for the compressive failure modes of plain weave composite materials as the strain rate varies. This mechanism illustrates how the rate dependency of failure modes arises from the competitive relationship between strain potential energy and deformation kinetic energy. At low loading rates, the specimen exhibits a progressive crushing failure mode characterized by low peak stress and significant geometric deformation. As the loading strain rate increases, the energy required for this geometric deformation also increases. When the energy expenditure surpasses that needed to elevate the stress level of the specimen, it transitions to an instantaneous failure mode with high peak stress. In this mode, the specimen fractures into multiple small fragments immediately upon failure, lacking the large geometric deformations observed at lower rates. Through calculating this energy mechanism, a transition strain rate of 180 s<sup>−1</sup> was determined for both failure modes. The accuracy of this mechanism was further verified by tests conducted near the critical strain rate. The energy-based evolution mechanism for failure modes provides a simplified and concise framework for simplifying complex models of composite material failures.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20628,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Testing","volume":"138 ","pages":"Article 108538"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0142941824002150/pdfft?md5=5c3ea24ba2c7cf921d88afe56edee3ab&pid=1-s2.0-S0142941824002150-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142012885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand, superabsorbent polymers are nowadays widely used in many liquid-absorbing applications but have rarely been assessed for the application of landfill leachate treatment. In this study, a comprehensive analysis of the physicochemical parameters, ionic parameters, and trace elements of the collected leachate was carried out, and four commercially available superabsorbent polymers with different chemical compositions were tested in respect of their kinetics of adsorption and desorption, both load-free and under-load, in deionized water, tap water, and leachate, respectively. The results are of significant importance in elucidating the application potential of commercially available superabsorbent polymers in landfill leachate treatment.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20628,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Testing","volume":"138 ","pages":"Article 108537"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0142941824002149/pdfft?md5=849505d48f896a878151d301f5cae1cc&pid=1-s2.0-S0142941824002149-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141939259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
