Curing kinetics of epoxies by thermal and alternative radiation in the application of fibre-reinforced composites by Ng, Feng Lin.

“…A major challenge faced by the fibre-reinforced composites industry is the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in hardener and solvent and the time taken for thermal curing is considerably long. Radiation curing offers an increased in speed of curing yet eliminates or reduces the VOCs. …”

Significance of the natural convection to the heat transfer of porous media: a pore-scale study by Xuan, Zi-Hao, Fang, Wen-Zhen, Lu, Yu-Hao, Yang, Chun, Tao, Wen-Quan

“…Heat conduction in porous media is generally accompanied by the natural convection of the fluid within the pores driven by the temperature gradient. However, the criterion to determine the critical pore size of porous media where the natural convection cannot be neglected remains elusive. …”

Fabrication of hollow fiber membranes using amphiphilic block copolymers as pore-forming additives by Loh, Chun Heng

“…The loss of Pluronic after 2-propanol-treatment causes an increase in water permeation and a decrease in rejection, further proving that the presence of Pluronic on the membrane pore surface can narrow down the pore size. …”

Explaining the spread in measurement of PDMS elastic properties: influence of test method and curing protocol by Varner, Hannah, Cohen, Tal

“…A statistical analysis then elucidates the significant bias induced by the test method itself, and distinguishes this bias from the influence of curing protocols on the mechanical properties. The goal of this work is thus two-fold: (i) it provides a quantitative understanding of the different factors that influence reported properties of this particular material, and (ii) it serves as a cautionary tale. …”
