Correlation between solution relative viscosity and the microstructural properties of the poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) – PHBV solution blow spun mats by Lucas Gomes Rabello, Maira Rievrs Nogueira Alvares, Roberto Carlos da Conceição Ribeiro, Paula Mendes Jardim, Rossana Mara da Silva Moreira Thiré

“…In this study, we produced poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) fibrous mats via solution blow spinning (SBS) and evaluated their microstructural properties. We propose here the utilization of the theoretical estimative of relative viscosity (RV) as an independent variable in a statistical design of experiments (DoE) to account for the polymer’s molecular weight (Mw) effect on the determination of the diameter and morphology of the fibers. …”

Enhancing Strength and Corrosion Resistance of Steel-Reinforced Concrete: Performance Evaluation of ICRETE Mineral Additive in Sustainable Concrete Mixes with PFA and GGBS by Kowshika V.R, Vijaya Bhaskaran, Ramkumar Natarajan, Iman Faridmehr

“…The results revealed that ICRETE-enhanced mixes achieved compressive strengths of 56.93 MPa at a water–cement ratio of 0.35 and 50.61 MPa at 0.38, surpassing the control mix’s 50.9 MPa at 0.33. Microstructural analysis via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that ICRETE improved hydration, reduced porosity, and refined the microstructure, contributing to more excellent durability. …”
