Manufacturers of lithium-ion batteries inform capacity degradation for regular, symmetrical charge/discharge cycles, which is clearly problematic in real life applications where charge/discharge cycles are hardly regular. ...

This paper discusses component age-related degradation and failure initiated from a shared cause and coupling factor (or mechanism) and the likelihood of the resulting common cause failure (CCF). For these components a CCF ...

High density poly(ethylene) has been submitted to thermal degradation alone, and in the presence of silicoaluminophosphate SAPO-37. The processes were carried out in a reactor connected on line to a gas chromatograph/mass ...

A new mathematical model for the prediction of the heterogeneous hydrolytic degradation of poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA)-based microspheres was developed. The model takes into account the autocatalytic effect of ...

The use of energy storage devices, such as lithium-ion batteries, has become popular in many different domains and applications. Hence, it is relatively easy to find literature associated with problems of battery state-of-charge ...

Degradation is currently affecting 25% of Earth's land and 40% of Earth's agricultural land. The environmental consequences of land degradation are vast, including amplified soil losses, water quality deterioration, ...

Thermal degradation of green nanocomposite films prepared from poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and soy lecithin (SL)-modified bentonite (Bent) obtained by melt blending were studied through thermal degradation kinetics and ...
