Enhancing the UV/heat stability of LLDPE irrigation pipes via different stabilizer formulations حسب Porfyris, Athanasios D.

"…Mechanical properties, thermal analysis, and carbonyl index results supported the morphological results, which confirmed that CB alone was slightly more effective in protecting the LLDPE against UV initiated degradation, but performed worse against thermal initiated degradation. UV1 and UV2 compounds were efficient against both UV- and heat-initiated degradation, with UV1 performing better for unpigmented compounds, and UV2 for the pigmented ones.…"

The mechanical and adhesive properties of electrically and thermally conductive polymeric composites based on high density polyethylene filled with nickel powder حسب Krupa, Igor

"…The stress at break of the composites behaved nonlinearly; the low filler content suppressed necking, resulting in a decrease in stress at break, whereas higher filler content (higher than 10vol.%) led to reinforcement of the composites and therefore increased the stress at break.The presence of nickel particles throughout the HDPE matrix increased the hydrophilicity of the composites. …"

Effects of Fine-Grained Particles' Migration and Clogging in Porous Media on Gas Production from Hydrate-Bearing Sediments حسب Jung, Jongwon

"…The results show that (1) the concentration of fine particles required to form clogging and/or bridging in pores decreased with the decrease in fine particle-pore throat size ratio, (2) the effects of ionic concentration of fluid on clogging behaviors depend on the types of fine particles, and (3) fine particles prefer to accumulate along the deionized water- (DW-) CO2 interface and migrate together, which in turn easily causes clogging in pores. …"

Contrasting effects of necrotrophic and biotrophic plant pathogens on the aphid Aphis fabae حسب Al-Naemi, F.

"…Rust infection increased leaf total nitrogen concentration by 30%, whereas infection by botrytis with or without rust led to a 38% decrease. The aphids' responses to the two plant pathogens individually is consistent with the alteration in plant nutrient content by infection and also the induction of different plant defence pathways and the possible cross-talk between them. …"
