The crystalline content of a composite can affect its performance under environmental conditions. The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of the crystallinity degree of CF/PPS composites to hygrothermal, ...

Polyphenylene sulphide (PPS) is a semi-crystalline high-performance thermoplastic used in the aeronautic field as a composite usually reinforced with carbon fibers. The crystallinity of semi-crystalline thermoplastics can ...

The crystallization degree in semi-crystalline thermoplastics plays an important role in determining the final properties of structural composite material (e.g. Toughness, stiffness and solvent resistance). The main purpose ...

Samples of Eucalyptus urograndis and Eucalyptus grandis sawdust were autohydrolyzed in aqueous conditions to reach temperatures in the range 110-190 °C and reaction times of 0-150 min in a minireactor. In each minireactor ...

Liquid-Crystalline Systems represent active compounds delivery systems that may be able to overcome the physical barrier of the skin, especially represented by the stratum corneum. To obtain these systems, aqueous and oily ...
