Influence of blending and blend morphology on the thermal properties and crystallization behaviour of PLA and PCL in PLA/PCL blends by Luyt, A.S.

“…A kinetic analysis of the crystallization of neat PCL and PCL in the blends showed that the crystallization mechanism of the neat PCL changed from instantaneous/heterogeneous nucleation and two-dimensional growth to sporadic/homogeneous nucleation and two-dimensional growth with decreasing crystallization temperature, while for PCL in the blends, the mechanism over the whole crystallization temperature range was that of instantaneous/heterogeneous nucleation and three-dimensional growth into spherulites. …”

Absorption of CO2 in aqueous blend of methyldiethanolamine and arginine by Talkhan, Ahmed Gomaa

“…From the finding of this work, it is anticipated that the studied novel blended solvent will effectively reduce CO2 capture costs as the CO2 content of most gas streams is less than 20% by volume, which is specifically true for natural gas and a large number of industrial flue gas streams.…”
