On the Flow Dynamics of Polymer Greases

In this paper, the flow dynamics of polymer greases was investigated using micro-particle image velocimetry.Polymer greases have a different thickener structure, compared to widely used lithium-based greases, and they have the well-known ability to release oil.How these properties affect grease deformation and its ability to flow is investigated an

Fifteen shades of clay: distinct microbial community profiles obtained from bentonite samples by cultivation and direct nucleic acid extraction

Abstract Characterizing the microbiology of swelling bentonite clays can help predict the long-term Alarms behaviour of deep geological repositories (DGRs), which are proposed as a solution for the management of used nuclear fuel worldwide.Such swelling clays represent an important component of several proposed engineered barrier system designs and
