The Influence of In Vitro Degradation on the Properties of Polylactic Acid Electrospun Fiber Mats by Kardo Khalid Abdullah, Kolos Molnár

“…E10 showed a 29% reduction in diameter and a 41% weight loss, while E6 exhibited an 18% reduction in diameter and a 27.5% weight loss. E6’s Young’s modulus increased by 3.55 times, while E10’s rose by 2.23 times after 28 days of degradation, and the fibers became more rigid. …”

Properties of Raphia Palm Interspersed Fibre Filled High Density Polyethylene by Henry C. Obasi

“…Results showed that the tensile strength and elongation at break of the blends decreased with increase in RPI loadings and addition of MA-g-PE was found to improve these properties. However, the Young’s modulus increased with increase in the amount of RPI into HDPE and compatibilization further increased the Young’s modulus. …”

Post-Heat Treatment and Mechanical Assessment of Polyvinyl Alcohol Nanofiber Sheet Fabricated by Electrospinning Technique by Mahir Es-saheb, Ahmed Elzatahry

“…The yield tensile stress ranges from 2.411 to 6.981 MPa, the ductility (i.e., elongation percent) from ∼21 to 60%, and Young modulus ranges from 103 to 0.137 KPa. However, for heat-treated samples, it is found that the yield strength increases almost by ∼35–40% more than the values of untreated cases with values reaching up to about 3.627–9.63 MPa.…”

Compressive behavior and connecting topology of monolithic nanoporous niobium by Seoyun Sohn, Shan Shi, Jürgen Markmann, Stefan Alexander Berger, Jörg Weissmüller

“…Results from X-ray nanotomography and macro-compression tests confirm that coarsening degrades the yield strength and that Young's modulus deviates from scaling laws developed for NP Au made by dealloying in aqueous media. …”

Real-time non-destructive characterization of epoxy resin curing kinetics and mechanical response for enhanced manufacturing quality control by Gonzalo Seisdedos, Edgar Viamontes, Eduardo Salazar, Cristian Pantea, Eric S. Davis, Tommy Rockward, Benjamin Boesl

“…The longitudinal and shear sound speeds were used to calculate the elastic properties of the material, including Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio. Finally, the curing kinetics were modeled using the Hill equation to better understand numerically the effect of varying stoichiometry in the curing process. …”
