The influence of the thermo-oxidative aging semi-crystalline polyethylene terephthalate
process on the thermal and mechanical properties was analysed in the article. For this …

This paper presents the results of a study of the ageing and annealing of films of
polyethylene terephthalate (PET) after irradiation with Kr ions. For the studies of ageing, PET …

Carbon fiber‐reinforced high‐performance thermoplastic composites have recently become
an efficient alternative for aerospace engineering applications. However, the temperature …

Microplastics (MPs) are plastic particles with sizes between 1 μm and 5 mm with a
ubiquitous presence in aquatic ecosystems. MPs harm marine life and can cause severe …

We have produced a thermally stable recombinant human type 5 adenoviral vector (AdHu5)
through spray drying with three excipient formulations (l-leucine, lactose/trehalose and …

Textile materials produced from a high tenacity industrial polyester fiber are most widely
used in the mechanical rubber goods industry to reinforce conveyor belts, tire cords, and …

Recently, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems have been helping to relieve the global energy
