SUMMARY: The effect of self-concentration and intermolecular packing on the dynamics of polymer miscible blends is examined by extensive atomistic simulations. Direct information on local structure of the blend system allows a quantitative calculation of selfand effective composition terms at various length scales that are introduced to proposed models of blend dynamics. Through a detailed stat...

Fuel properties of loofah oil and its ethyl ester blended with diesel were experimentally determined. Biodiesel blends (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100%) of loofah oil and its ethyl ester by volume with diesel was used. The fuel properties of the biodiesel blends were determined according to American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards. Pure Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) wa...

Abstract Diesel engines are utilized in the transportation sector owing to their high efficiency. In recent years, biodiesel and higher alcohols have taken attention of researchers as promising alternative fuels for diesel engines. this article, fuel is mixed with corn oil at ratio 80:20 (v/v). 2%, 5% 8% 1-pentanol (v/v) into fuel-corn binary blend obtaining ternary blends. The impacts blends o...

This study investigated some quality attributes of unripe cooking banana (UBF), pigeon pea (PPF), and sweetpotato (SPF) flour blends. Simplex centroid mixture design was used to obtain 17 blends from the flours. The nutrient composition, color, and functional properties of the blends were evaluated using standard methods. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and treatment means were comp...

In this study, we provide the experimental results of binary blends a semi-flexible nematic liquid crystal polymer (LCP1) and polycarbonate (PC) within their phase diagram. The LCP1/PC were investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Optical Microscopy (OM), Wide-angle X-Ray Diffraction (WXRD), Fourier Transfer Infrared (FTIR), Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), Nuclear Magnetic ...
