Flow-induced crystallization has long been an important subject in polymer processing.
Varying processing conditions can produce different morphologies, which lead to different …

Coronary arterial diseases are responsible for more deaths than all other associated causes
combined. Elevated serum cholesterol levels leading to atherosclerosis can cause coronary …

Oxadiazole, a heterocyclic nucleus has attracted a wide attention of the chemist in search for
the new therapeutic molecules. Out of its four possible isomers, 1, 3, 4-oxadiazole is widely …

In situ synchrotron wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) was used to monitor crystallization of
isotactic polypropylene (i-PP) in the subcooled melt at 140 C after step shear. The melt was …

In-situ synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) was used to follow orientation-induced
crystallization of isotactic polypropylene (i-PP) in the subcooled melt at 140 C after step …

Background Prophylactic human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines have to provide sustained
protection. We assessed efficacy, immunogenicity, and safety of the HPV-16/18 AS04-…

An overview of nanoclays or organically modified layered silicates (organoclays) is presented
with emphasis placed on the use of nanoclays as the reinforcement phase in polymer …

Quaternary phosphonium cations (hexadecyl tributyphosphonium; tetradecyl tributylphosphonium;
tetraphenylphosphonium; methyl triphenylphosphonium; ethyl triphenylphosphonium …

In-situ rheo-SAXS (small-angle X-ray scattering) and rheo-WAXD (wide-angle X-ray diffraction)
studies were carried out to investigate the nature of shear-induced precursor structures in …

Studies of dilute polymer solutions in shear flow suggest that the mean fractional extension
of molecules increases gradually with the Weissenberg number (Wi = shear rate × longest …
