Stress Drops Associated with Surface Crack Formation in Photo-aged Polypropylene during Three-Point Bending
Kazuya Haremaki, Yusuke Koide, Takashi Uneyama +2
The paper studies how UV‑induced aging creates a depth‑dependent embrittlement in polypropylene, causing discrete stress drops during three‑point bending when the aged surface is u…

Effects of Stirring Time on Formation of Microplastics Fragmented from Photo-aged Polypropylene
Kazuya Haremaki, Takumitsu Kida, Yusuke Koide +3
This paper examines the evolution of microplastic (MP) size distributions fragmented from photo-aged polypropylene (PP) in stirred water. PP specimens fragmented into MPs with thei…

Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics Simulations for Oxidative Aging of Polymers under Various O2 Concentration
Takato Ishida, Kazuya Haremaki, Yusuke Koide +2
Modeling of polymer oxidative aging has been actively studied since the 1990s. Insights from these studies suggest that the transport of oxygen and radicals significantly influence…
