Depolymerization of Polypropylene: A Systematic Review
Abstract: AbstractPolypropylene have become an indispensable ingredient of human life and most widely used thermoplastic in commodity applications. Polymerization of propylene is carried out by using Ziegler-Natta or Metallocene catalysts, which results in high molecular weights and crystalline polypropylene which are not required for several applications. Reduction in molecular weight of polypropylene in conventional reactors is uneconomical and complicated. Therefore to overcome this problem researchers and technologists proposed a post reactor …

Effect of Gamma and Electron Beam Irradiations on Crystalline and Gelatinization Properties of Edible Potato Starch
Abstract: Exposure of food material to radiation causes changes in crystalline (damage of crystal structure / lattice distortion), and gelatinization (digestive)properties. Potato starch (PS) is one of the important globally used food supplement in different forms like chips, curries, cusins etc. During its use the PS is exposed to radiations, altering its molecular structure (due to chain cleavages) and bring changes in structural and physical properties ; sometimes ill – effects …

Reliability-Aware Mathematical Model for Radiation-Hardened Satellite Communication Systems
Abstract: Satellite communication systems operate in radiation environments in which total ionizing dose (TID), displacement damage, and single-event effects (SEE) can progressively degrade electronic, optoelectronic, and communication components and can ultimately reduce link availability and mission reliability. This paper develops a Reliability-Aware Radiation-Hardened Satellite Communication Model (R-RHSCM) that mathematically couples the orbital radiation environment, accumulated radiation dose, component degradation, communication-link performance, single-event failure probability, redundancy, thermal effects, and adaptive mitigation.
