Use of a Photocleavable Initiator to Characterize Polymer Chains Grafted onto a Metal Plate with the Grafting-from Method Open
The thorough characterization of polymer chains grafted through a “grafting-from” process onto substrates based on the determination of number (Mn) and weight (Mw) average molar masses, as well as dispersity (Ɖ), is quite challenging. It r…

Experimental Investigation on Local and Global Texture Evolution in Drawing Seamless Copper Tubes Open
Mass flow inequality in the initial stage of tube processing can lead to eccentricity and micro- and nano-structural changes that affect residual stress and texture development. In this study, the macro- and micro-texture development of co…
