The mechanical performance of polyester fibres is intrinsically linked to their microstructural organisation, which is strongly affected by thermal processing. Heat treatments such as annealing and ...

The properties of steel can be improved in terms of fatigue, weldability, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance, ductility, and tensile strength by either alloy addition or heat treatment processes.

Polysaccharides, such as chitosan, exhibit poor mechanical and barrier characteristics in their current form. Consequently, compared to common plastic films, using materials based on biopolymers in ...
