Design and Synthesis of Stimuli-Responsive Polymers with Programmable Cleavability by Zafar, Hadiqa

“…The remaining two chapters are a departure from BBPs, instead introducing a novel approach to cleavable comonomers for improving plastic end-of-life sustainability. The fourth chapter thus provides detailed background on the current plastic waste outlook, vinyl polymers and their synthesis, radical ring-opening polymerization, and current approaches to cleavable comonomers and the end-of-life options they offer commodity polymers. …”

Optimization of the thermal performance of building double-skin envelope by Chua, Wei Jin

“…Due to the hot and humid climate that Singapore experience throughout the year, residence of Singapore rely a lot on the use of the air-conditioner to achieve thermal comfort in their everyday life. But it was found that the excessive use of air-conditioner, not only in Singapore, has given rise in the mean global temperature or in other words, global warming. …”

Effect of lognormal particle size distributions on particle spreading in additive manufacturing by Zhao, Ya, Chew, Jia Wei

“…This discrete element method (DEM) study focusses on the impact of particle polydispersity during the particle spreading process on parameters that affect the quality of the final product, like packing and bed surface roughness. The particle systems include four lognormal particle size distribution (PSD) widths, which are benchmarked against the monodisperse system with the same mean particle diameter. …”
