Plastic injection moulds suffer wear due to the relative movements of the mould parts and the polymeric material flow which is often reinforced by hard abrasive fibres or whiskers. Several studies were performed on the ...

P>Background: Mould-attributed symptoms have included features which overlap with unexplained syndromes such as sick building syndrome. Objectives: We describe questionnaire and chart review findings in patients following ...

The effect of water immersion on the morphology and indentation modulus of injection moulded nylon 6 and its organoclay nanocomposites was investigated. XRD analysis showed that at 70 °C water promoted further crystallization ...

The fracture performance of PP–nanoclay box-like injection mouldings obtained in double gated mould and by direct compounding of PP and a PP-based masterbatch was studied. Samples were observed by polarised light microscopy ...

Water moulds are pathogens of amphibian eggs and embryos. However, little is known about oxidant or antioxidant status of amphibians in response to stress caused by water moulds. We exposed embryo stages of Two-colored ...
