BALANCING PERFORMANCE OF EPOXIDIZED SOYBEAN OIL (ESO)/POLY(LACTIC ACID) COMPOSITES: SYNERGISTIC EFFECTS OF CARBON NANOTUBES AND TANNIC ACID-INDUCED CROSSLINKING OF ESO

Highly tough and biobased epoxidized soybean oil (ESO)/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) blends were formulated through in-situ formation of tannic acid-crosslinked ESO (TA-c-ESO) oligomer as a dispersed phase with PLA matrix by dynamic vulcanization technique.To repair the sacrificial strength of the blends and endow the Military Helicopter composites with

The author undertakes the problem of the identity of Western civilization in the light of a correlation between politics and religion.First, he traces the theoretical debates about the mutual correspondence of politics and religion in ancient Greece.Following two extreme errors depicted by Sophocles in his “Antigone,” and by Plato in his “Apo

The system of scientific innovation can be characterized as a complex, multi-layered network of actors, their products and knowledge elements.Despite the progress that has been made, a more comprehensive understanding of the interactions and dynamics of this multi-layered network remains a significant challenge.This paper constructs a multilayer lo
