Excerpts

It is has been shown that Flexural and Tensile Moduli on nanoreinforced PLA show an increasing trend on their values while the number of extrusions increases, effects that can be justified due to a better dispersion of the nanoclays on the polymer matrix after several reprocesses.

The ultimate strength, which exhibits an increasing trend in proportion to the number of GFRP grids, is the highest in the EPS_P group, followed by the XPSST_P and XPSNB_P groups.

However, when the carbonation depth is larger than 30 mm, the influence of turbulence intensity on carbonation becomes slightly significant.

Additionally, we failed to identify other FTIR peaks that exhibited a clear trend in time.

Interestingly, ion permeability of the GPEs showed an increasing trend as the ionic liquid content increased to ~40% and decreased thereafter, suggesting the significant contribution of EC and PC toward ion permeability of the GPEs; and potentially, formation of ionic double layers at electrodes which retard ion mobility, as observed and reported previously [ 9 ].

The thermal conductivity and the RA content do not show a clear trend.

However, in general, the voltage showed an increasing trend.

Considering the typical range of the angle of shear resistance, φ′ increased from 30.07° to 42.59°, which is quite significant (41.64%).

A decreasing trend in the average diameter of the nanofiber was observed as the ratio of MgO was increased, as shown in Figure 2 .

On the other hand, the interior strain obtained by the FBG sensor shows a decreasing trend as in the case of the previous experiment.

An obvious trend of peak shift can be observed in Figure 1 with the increase of x from 0 to 1, while the crystalline peaks for LiMn x Fe 1− x PO 4 (0 < x < 1) all fit with those of LiMnPO 4 and LiFePO 4 , indicative of pure olivine phase.

While all transition metals prefer to substitute at Ti sites in the α 2 phase, there is a strong trend for the substitution at Al sites in the β o phase, as suggested by ab initio calculations in reference [ 85 ].

It is noteworthy that, in solutions with 0.2 M Cl − , the Cr-oxidation content as a function of pH shows an increasing trend with pH falling, indicating the Cr species have a gradual enrichment in the surface film.

Results show that flame spread rate increases exponentially with pressure, and the exponent of pressure further shows an increasing trend with the thickness of the sample.

An increasing trend of threshold intensity values as shown in Figure 6 could be associated with the increase of the fraction of fines and the bulk density of the sand sample subjected to increased compressive loads.

There is a clear trend: as the DT gets shorter, the voltage drops more quickly in Regions I and II relative to Region III.

A clear trend is observed when raising the feed pressure which predictably resulted in increasing the water flux of all the membranes systematically.

A strong trend was found in that the water flux of the membranes decreased with the increasing molecular weight of the tested substances using water, glucose, sucrose, PVP-40 kDa, and PVP-360 kDa as a direct result of nanofiltration.

The difference between the groups, however, was not quite statistically significant according to Fisher’s exact test. 3.3.

However, when the first-step crosslinking reaction lasted for 48 h, both the drug-loading and encapsulation efficiency showed a decreasing trend which were lower than the conditions stated above.

The cement paste with admixture contents between 1.2% and 3.6% showed a decreasing trend in alkalinity with days of curing, and their alkalinity were even much lower than that of control samples after curing for 14 days (see Figure 10 ).

For IQE values, 420 and 380 nm wavelength samples came in the 2nd and 3rd position, respectively, which showed a decreasing trend of potential barrier height around these V-pits.

The chip obtained for higher feed values is shorter than for lower feed values, where it appears longer and more flexible, with a clear trend to form chip nests.

In addition, it can be seen that the fracture of the normal specimen is significant compared to the UNSM-treated normal specimen, whereas the surface damage is considerably significant as well and the oxidation wear dominates.

There was an increasing trend in the mean grain size of the weld zone, as the welding energy increased.
