The effectiveness of various alcohols as plasticizers for starch‐based materials is studied. Specifically, the impact of molecular structures, such as the number of hydroxyl groups, molecular weights, and chemical structures of these compounds, on the performance of starch‐based films is studied. Several alcohols are used, including mono‐alcohols (propanol, butanol, pentanol, and hexanol), di‐alcohols...
The relationship among microstructure, mechanical properties, and corrosion behavior of an Al7.5Co20.5Fe24Ni24Cr24 high‐entropy alloy (HEA) is systematically studied. The as‐cast HEA consisted of a single face‐centered cubic (FCC) phase with negligible chemical inhomogeneities of Al and Ni elements, whereas the homogenized HEA displayed a single FCC supersaturated solid‐solution phase with uniform...
