AI Article Synopsis

  • The analysis focuses on transient momentum and heat transfer during polymer processing, impacting material solidification.
  • The goal is to enhance and optimize the final properties based on the morphology of the finished product.
  • This special issue includes a review and 11 research articles exploring experimental and numerical studies on various polymer processing operations and their effects on product characteristics.

Article Abstract

The analysis of polymer processing operations requires the description of simultaneous transient momentum and heat transfer down to material solidification. The aim of the analysis is to improve and, hopefully, optimize the final properties that are determined by the final morphology of the part. In this special issue, consisting of 1 review and 11 research articles detailing several polymer processing operations, experimental and numerical analyses have been conducted in order to identify and describe the main relevant phenomena, that affect the product morphologies and properties.

In terms of safety and emergency response, identifying hazardous gaseous acid chemicals is crucial for ensuring effective evacuation and administering proper first aid. However, current studies struggle to distinguish between different acid vapors and remain in the early stages of development. In this study, we propose an on-site monitorable acid vapor decoder, MOF-808-EDTA-Cu, integrating the robust MOF-808 with Cu-EDTA, functioning as a proton-triggered colorimetric decoder that translates the anionic components of corrosive acids into visible colors.

Hierarchical organization is prevalent in nature, yet the artificial construction of hierarchical materials featuring asymmetric structures remains a big challenge. Herein, we report a stress-induced self-assembly strategy for the synthesis of hierarchically twisted stripe arrays (HTSAs) with mesoporous structures. A soft and thin mesostructured film assembled by micelles and TiO oligomers is the prerequisite.
