To further unlock kraft lignin's potential in material applications, we show that tight control can be achieved over a key physicochemical lignin parameter, its T g , which largely determines, and serves as proxy for, the properties of lignin-derived thermoset materials.

This study numerically obtains the thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication (TEHL) solutions of different physical-property models five lubricants and properties solids. The solution was computed at nominal line contact for both Newtonian non-Newtonian fluids. density, viscosity, specific heat, conductivity were considered functions temperature pressure, whereas expansivity a function pressure. l...

• We derive an inclusion model to link a composite’s thermal and electrical properties. This differential effective medium is independent of volume fraction. accurately published laboratory measurements on copper-graphite composites. The model’s inferred shape matches the graphite inclusions. new cross-property scheme for composite material’s conductivity as function its vice versa. Our assumes...

The physical property changes in the plasma-polymerized fluorocarbon (PPFC) thin films near melting temperature (Tm) were investigated through chemical structure analysis. PPFC films, produced by semi-crystalline polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-based polymer sputtering target, form amorphous polymers with outstanding properties, such as high water repellency and optical transmittance, electrical...
