non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of polypropylene (pp) and pp containing 0.5 wt% singlewalled carbon nanotubes (pp/swnt) were studied at various cooling rates using differential scanning calorimetry technique. the non-isothermal melt crystallization data were analyzed according to ozawa and cazé-chuah models. although ozawa model was successful in describing the nonisothermal crystalliza...

In this research, inorganic material type and content influence on coating of commercially available polypropylene (PP) separator were studied for improving its performance and safety as lithium ion battery separator. Heat-resistant nanopowders of Al2O3, SiO2 and ZrO2 were coated using polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) binder. Coating effects on the separators morphology, wettability, high tempera...

Background: The objective was to explore the value of the CT value difference (△HU) and CT value ratio (CVR) between the hepatic arterial (AP), portal (PP), and delayed phases (DP) to differentiate the small Hepatocellular Carcinoma (SHCC, ≤ 3 cm) from the small Focal nodular hyperplasia (SFNH, ≤ 3 cm). Materials and Methods: All the lesions were confirmed by clinically and/or pathologically an...

in this work, ternary polymer blends based on polypropylene (pp)/ polyethylene terephthalate (pet) /poly(styrene-b (ethylene-co-butylene)-b-styrene) (sebs) triblock copolymer and a reactive maleic anhydride grafted sebs (sebs-g-mah) at various compositions were prepared by co-rotating twin screw extruder. the effects of pet, sebs and sebs-g-mah compatibilizer on morphology of the blends were ex...

A commonly made cross-linguistic generalization is that languages with extensive case-marking tend also to have greater freedom of word order than languages without. Explicit statements to this effect can be found in Sapir (1921, pp. 66, 177ff.), Jakobson (1936, p. 28) and more recently in Blake (2001, p. 15), but the idea goes back to the beginning of comparative studies of language. Thus on t...
