Upcycling of Postconsumer Recyclate Polypropylene into Low Warping and High Toughness 3D Printable Filaments by Animesh Gopal (18521180)

“…Incorporation of poly­(butylene adipate-<i>co</i>-terephthalate) (PBAT) along with maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) in specific proportions led to a significant enhancement in mechanical properties, miscibility, crystallization behavior, and 3D printability. rPP/PBAT blends with 20 wt % PBAT and 10 wt % MAPP exhibited a 62-fold enhancement in elongation at break over rPP (from 1.88 to 118.29%) and a 72-fold increase in toughness (from 2 to 143.60 kJ/m³) with almost similar tensile strength. …”

Influence of Postsynthetic Ligand Exchange in ZIF‑7 on Gate-Opening Pressure and CO₂/CH₄ Mixture Separation by Lukas W. Bingel (9371686)

“…The enhanced surface affinity toward carbon dioxide, along with a sharper isotherm step and narrower hysteresis, translated to increased selectivity, faster cycling, and reduced process costs due to decreased energy input as shown by optimization opportunities of the high-pressure feed step.…”

Additional within-case comparison information. by Ryan J. Treves (13527735)

“…Our results suggest that the increase in sanctions was associated with decreases in violations with relatively low compliance costs (such as reporting violations), but that there may be considerable mismatch between the scale of penalties and compliance costs for keeping many types of pollutants within regulatory limits, and an underappreciation of critical factors like political pressure that are uncaptured by classical theory. …”

Value ranges of three representative points. by Bin Zhao (276445)

“…Numerical experiments using actual survey data from Kunshan City yield several noteworthy findings: (1) An optimal moderate-sized time step exists for rolling optimization to minimize either the average delay time or total costs; specifically, an excessively small time step may increase vehicle average delay time or total costs; (2) The percentage of delay reduction achieved by our method, compared to Synchro software, reaches a maximum of approximately 70% when traffic demand is moderate and the initial state is low; and (3) The percentage reduction in average delay or total costs compared to Synchro initially increases and then decreases with rising traffic intensity.…”
