The present study defines a procedure for gaining a better understanding of the interaction between the aged and the virgin binders and what actually occurs during a mix process. Indeed, the authors propose a methodology to determine and quantify the clust ...
Highly efficient organic solar cells typically comprise donor-acceptor blend layers facilitating effective splitting of excitons. However, the charge carrier mobility in the blends can be substantially smaller than in neat materials, hampering the device p ...
The Ebro Valley in the outskirts of Zaragoza (NE Spain) is severely affected by evaporite karstification, leading to multiple problems related to subsidence and sinkhole formation. In this work, a combination of inverse (mixing + mass-balance) and forward ...
Mixing fluid in a container at low Reynolds number-in an inertialess environment-is not a trivial task. Reciprocating motions merely lead to cycles of mixing and unmixing, so continuous rotation, as used in many technological applications, would appear to ...
Two novel types of hydrogel microspheres (MS) are presented. First, one-component microspheres (1-comMS) were produced from sodium alginate (Na-alg) equipped with thiolfunctionalized hydroxyl groups. The functionalization pathway included the conversion of ...
