The quality requirements of injection-moulded components have become more stringent because of the growing s applications of plastics and increasing customer demands. The quality of the moulded parts depend on the processing ...

The economic viability of photovoltaic (PV) devices is strongly dependent upon equipment cost and durability. During their usage, these devices are exposed to several atmospheric degradation agents and thus they need to ...

Today, the increasingly serious lack of resources and the obsolescence of the plants present on the whole planet led to develop new ways that go beyond “traditional” chemical engineering. The research is now focusing on ...

This research work rises from collaborative activities between Alenia Aeronautica (Pomigliano D’Arco, Napoli) and the Industrial Engineering Department of University of Salerno. One of the biggest challenge facing materials ...

Changes of cohesive flow properties of powders at high temperature are observed in many industrial process units, such as fluidized bed reactors, granulators and dryers. Many authors investigated the behaviour of powders ...

Graphene is the first two-dimensional (2D) atomic crystal available to us. Since its discovery in 2004, graphene has captured the attention and the imagination of worldwide researchers thank to its supreme properties. Catalytic ...

The research of this PhD thesis has been focused on the study and realization of high cell density cultivation (HCDC) systems with auxotrophic strains of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, these latter to be used as hosts ...
