Expectation of Additives in Polymer Processing

Advances in Polymer Processing Additives (PPA)

In previous work, flow visualization was used to understand how polymer processing additives (PPA) eliminate sharkskin in linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE). The PPA migrates to and coats the die wall, induces slippage, and eliminates sharkskin. In this work, the interface between the PPA and LLDPE was further characterized using reflection light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, e...

UNCERTAINTY AND EXPECTATION IN SENTENCE PROCESSING 1 Running head : Uncertainty and expectation in sentence processing Uncertainty and expectation in sentence processing

There is now considerable evidence that human sentence processing is expectation based: As people read a sentence, they use their statistical experience with their language to generate predictions about upcoming syntactic structure. This study examines how sentence processing is affected by readers’ uncertainty in their expectations about upcoming structure. In a self-paced reading study, we ma...

Drag reduction by polymer additives in decaying turbulence.

We present results from a systematic numerical study of decaying turbulence in a dilute polymer solution by using a shell-model version of the finitely extensible nonlinear elastic and Peterlin equations. Our study leads to an appealing definition of the drag reduction for the case of decaying turbulence. We exhibit several new results, such as the potential-energy spectrum of the polymer, hith...
