    This work studied the effect of nanoclay surface modified with 25-30 wt% of methyl dihydroxyethyl hydrogenated tallow ammonium (Clay-DHA) on morphological, mechanical and thermal properties of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) blends. The PLA/PBAT (75/25 w/w) blends without and with Clay-DHA were melt mixed by an internal mixer and molded by compression method. The morphological analysis observed the phase separation of PLA/PBAT blends due to minor PBAT phase dispersed as spherical shape in PLA phase, indicating a poor interfacial adhesion between PLA and PBAT phases. The incorporation of Clay-DHA could improve the compatibility of polymer blends. The tensile testing found that the addition of Clay-DHA 1 and 3 phr increased Young’s modulus of PLA/PBAT blends. The addition of Clay-DHA decreased the strain at break of PLA/PBAT blends. The thermal degradation of PLA/PBAT blends and composites showed the similar thermal degradation process step. The addition of Clay-DHA was no effect on thermal stability and thermal properties of PLA/PBAT blends.

    Wacharawichanant, Sirirat
    The identification of dispersed phase droplet in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image is the heart of the process polymer blends, especially for the development of the polymeric materials and improvement of the polymer properties. Manual identification is the hard work and inaccurate method. To solve this problem, a digital image processing (DIP) method based on Hough transform is proposed for automatically identifies the dispersed phase droplet in SEM images. By combining the characteristics of SEM images and the DIP method, this method performed hierarchical Hough transform on the circular droplet to detect the object boundary in the SEM images. The DIP method has been experimented on variety of SEM images and very promising results have been achieved given more accuracy. Experimental results show that the proposed method with high adaptability is more accurate and rapidly than the traditional method. © 2012 IEEE.

    (2020-08-01)
    The clinical information can enhance the doctors for predicting and diagnosing the diseases also making the right decisions. Breast cancer is the most dangerous disease, early diagnosis can improve a chance of survival and can support clinical treatment. Detecting breast cancer takes a lot of time and it is hard to classification. However, the problem of the classification occurs when there is an unequal distribution of classes the dataset. This is caused by the low performance in the traditional machine learning models. For this reason, this work proposed the cost-sensitive XGBoost model, which is an improved version of the XGBoost model in conjunction with cost-sensitive learning. The models were applied to classify the four breast cancer datasets that contained the imbalanced data. In the experiment, this work determined the best parameters on each dataset by the hyperparameters optimization technique before configuring the models. The results indicated that the cost-sensitive XGBoost model had been skillful, and could improve classification accuracy in four datasets. In addition, this work evaluated the model performance by accuracy, ROC AUC, and k-Fold cross-validation to ensure that the new models is accurate.

    The work studied the morphological, mechanical and thermal properties of poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/ethylene-octene copolymer (EOC) blends before and after adding the montmorillonite clay surface modified with 25-30% of octadecylamine (clay-ODA). The PLA/EOC blends and composites were prepared by melt mixing in an internal mixer. The EOC contents were 5, 10, 20, 30 wt% and clay-ODA contents were 1 and 3 phr. The morphology analysis showed that the addition of clay-ODA could improve the miscibility of PLA and EOC phases due to the domain size of dispersed EOC phase decreased with increasing clay-ODA content. X-ray diffraction revealed the formation of intercalated/exfoliated structure in PLA/clay-ODA and PLA blend composites. The mechanical properties showed that the impact strength of PLA/EOC blends dramatically increased with increasing EOC content up to 10 wt%. The strain at break of PLA blends increased with increasing EOC content. Moreover, the incorporation of clay-ODA increased significantly Young’s modulus of PLA and PLA/EOC blends with increasing clay-ODA content. The thermal stability of PLA/EOC blends improved with the addition of a small amount of clay-ODA.

    This work studied the morphology, mechanical and thermal properties of poly (lactic acid) (PLA)/ethylene-octene copolymer (EOC) (80/20) blends with different organoclay types. Herein, EOC was introduced to toughening PLA by melt blending and organoclay was used to improve compatibility and tensile properties of the blends. The two organoclay types were nanoclay surface modified with aminopropyltriethoxysilane 0.5-5 wt% and octadecylamine 15-35% (Clay-ASO) and nanoclay surface modified with dimethyl dialkyl (C14-C18) amine 35-45 wt% (Clay-DDA). The organoclay contents were 3, 5 and 7 phr. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation results revealed PLA/EOC blends demonstrated a two-phase separation of dispersed EOC phase and PLA matrix phase. The addition of organoclay significantly improved the compatibility between PLA and EOC phases due to EOC droplet size decreased dominantly in PLA matrix, so organoclay could act as an effective compatibilizer. The incorporation of organoclay increased significantly tensile strength of PLA/EOC/organoclay composites while Young’s modulus increased with 5 phr of organoclay. The thermal stability of PLA/EOC blends did not change when compared with neat PLA, and when added Clay-ASO in the blends could improve the thermal stability of the PLA/EOC blends.
