Innovative Value Chain Development of Modified Starch for a Sustainable Environment: A Review
Abstract: Granular structure of starch is widely utilized in a variety of applications due to its universal abundance, relatively low cost, and ability to impart a broad range of functional properties to their products. However, most starches in their native form have limitations that make them less than ideal for the diversity of desired applications. For this reason, most of the starch utilized as a food or industrial ingredient is first …

A Critical Evaluation of Polypropylene Impact Copolymer Morphology
Abstract: In order to improve Polypropylene (PP) impact strength, the process of copolymerizing propylene with ethylene is being used. Polypropylene copolymer is essentially a rubber-toughened material consisting of polypropylene homo-polymer matrix in which ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR) is distributed. The overall impact behavior of the copolymer is solely controlled by the rubber morphology and its distribution in polypropylene matrix, which plays a critical role on crystallinity. Even a similar impact grade polypropylene …

Generative Design and Simulation for Castor Wheel Assembly
Abstract: A castor wheel CAD model can be used to optimise the wheel's design for avariety of elements, including load capacity, durability, and use. Given theemployment of evolutionary algorithms and search strategies in thiscomputational process, generative design, also known as evolutionary design,is not a new idea. It can be characterised as a prototype design system thatcreates fresh conceptual designs from scratch using a genetic algorithm. In thismethod, a prototype system generates …
