Liquid crystalline thermosets (LCTs) have been under intensive study because of their outstanding mechanical performance and low viscosity during processing. We have successfully synthesized four kinds of nematic bismaleimide thermosets that differ in the nature of a pendant group substitution and that feature a thermally stable nematic phase. Importantly, the pendant groups were found to be ef...

To investigate the effect of refrigeration on collagen and texture characteristics yak meat, changes in content, solubility, shear force, hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, gumminess, chewiness meat at 4 ± 1 °C were measured. The results showed that contents solubility significantly decreased (P < 0.05). myofibrillar fragmentation index increased Correlation analysis histological structure...

This study investigated the degree to which instrumental measurements explain the variation in pork loin tenderness as assessed by the sensory evaluation of trained panelists. Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBS) had a significant relationship with the sensory tenderness variables, such as softness, initial tenderness, chewiness, and rate of breakdown. In a regression analysis, WBS could account v...

Potato lines bred by intraspecific hybridization of Solanum tuberosum L. were evaluated on their textural properties in two consecutive years. The plants grown under mountain conditions at 1610 m altitude and harvested the end September. cutting test was performed using a Warner-Bratzler blade texture analyzer (TA) for obtaining maximum force to shear tubers. Textural parameters analysed right ...

Atomistic simulations provide the most detailed picture of grain boundary (GB) migration currently available. Nevertheless, extracting unit mechanisms from atomistic simulation data is difficult because zoo competing, geometrically complex 3D atomic rearrangement processes. In this work, we introduce displacement texture characterization framework for analyzing events during GB migration, combi...

Real-world solids, such as rocks, soft tissues and engineering materials, are often under some form of stress. Most real materials also, to degree, anisotropic due their microstructure, a characteristic called the ‘texture anisotropy’. This anisotropy can stem from preferential grain alignment in polycrystalline aligned micro-cracks or structural reinforcement, collagen bundles biological tissu...

Abstract Thermomechanical processing consisted of hot-rolling in the austenitic region with deformation both above and below non-recrystallization temperature. Immediately after rolling, specimens were directly quenched water to three different temperatures 560 °C, 420 °C room The first two samples, which 560° C 420°C, immediately cooled slowly furnace. microstructure samples mostly comprised u...

Copper bonding wires were characterized using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). During drawing, shear components are mainly located under the surface and ,111. and ,100. fiber texture components develop with similar volume fractions. Grain average misorientation (GAM) and scalar orientation spread (SOS) of the ,100. component are lower than those of the ,111. or other orientations. Also,...
