Crystals made from mucic acid are the stiffest organic crystals reported to date. 1 They owe their rigidity to a dense web of hydrogen bonding between their molecules, giving them mechanical ...

The Commission on Higher Education’s policy on vertical alignment, as stated in CMO No. 15, series of 2019, was designed to ensure that graduate programs are handled by specialists whose degrees match ...

The reuse of plastic polymers is one of the ways to reduce the negative environmental impact caused by these products. This work presents a study of mechanical and morphological properties of ABS and ...

Introduction: The avian egg is a unique mechanical structure that must satisfy several conflicting demands; the shell must be strong enough to prevent it from being crushed during natural incubation ...

Polymers are useful in many applications, but their mechanical properties can be greatly transformed under extreme temperatures. Knowing their performance in elevated or sub-zero temperatures is ...

Shear modulus, also known as the modulus of rigidity, is a measure of the elasticity of a material when subjected to shear stress. In other words, it demonstrates how well the material resists ...
