Co-consumption for plastics upcycling: A perspective by Michael Weldon, Sanniv Ganguly, Christian Euler

“…As a potential way to address these limitations, we suggest more investigation into mixotrophic approaches, showing that those which leverage the unique properties of plastic degradation products such as ethylene glycol might improve rates sufficiently to motivate industrial process development.…”

DEVICE FOR IMPROVING THE PLASTIC PROPERTIES OF THE WIRE RML by M. A. Kukharenko, I. N. Radkova

“…That is why its own design of PSD was developed at BSW. The new planish-straightening device allowed to solve several problems simultaneously: to increase the plastic characteristics of the wire, to improve the adjustment of the coil lifting and to stabilize the diameter of the wire ring PML when working on the mills.…”

Plasticity model for pressing of rapeseed and rapeseed dehulled by ZHENG Xiao, LIN Guo-xiang, WANG Shao-mei

“…By using of Doraivelus yield criterion, plasticity constitutive equations were developed. Greatest relative deviation below 11.44% and 1.1% between the experimental and predicted values of the strains indicate that the plasticity constitutive model can simulate plasticity deformation of rapeseed and rapeseed dehulled well. …”
