Modeling of polycarbonate and thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer blends by Yang, Yue Xiang

“…The possibilities of using LCP as processing aids and/or for reinforcement are being explored. It has been shown that small amounts of LCPs may significantly lower the melt viscosity of many flexible polymers, thus enhancing their processability. …”

Design and development of a biopolymer microfiber fabrication device by Yap, Yi-Liang.

“…Molten polymer within a holding cup with a tiny orifice below is drawn by a needle and stuck onto a spinning mandrel for collection. As the melt is pulled from the orifice, extensional flow causes the thinning in the melt diameter and the atmosphere cools the melt down into a fiber before it is collected on the mandrel. …”

Deformation and its surface expression in stressed planetary materials by Seltzer, Cassandra

“…Chapter 3 applies these findings to the evolution of icy systems through simulated deformation of ice-melt aggregates, suggesting that current seismic studies which do not correct for the orientation of melt may misinterpret deformation at the base of warm ice sheets. …”

Multi-track, multi-layer cladding layers of YCF102: an analytical and predictive investigation of geometric characteristics by Xi, Wenchao, Song, Boxue, Chen, Liaoyuan, Liang, Yingdong, Yu, Tianbiao, Wang, Jun, Sun, Qi

“…The results show that the increase of the number of tracks and layers lead to the increase of clad height, clad width and melt pool depth. When cladding the sixth layer, the clad width and melt pool depth still show an increasing trend, but the increase rate of melt pool depth slows down. …”
