    Abstract: A reinforced polyolefin composite is provided. The reinforced polyolefin composite comprises a polyolefin such as polyethylene or polypropylene, a rigid fibre micro filler such as glass fiber, carbon or cellulosic fibers, and at least one nano filler such as clay. The reinforced polyolefin composite may also comprise a modified polyolefin, which has a polar functional group such as maleate monoester, an acid anhydride or an acrylate grafted thereon. The clay nano filler may also be modified with an organosilane. The reinforced polyolefin composite may also comprise a stabilizer or other additives. A method of producing the reinforced polyolefin composite is also provided, comprising mixing a polyolefin, a rigid micro filler and at least one nano filler to form a mixture, melting the mixture and kneading the melted mixture. The obtained reinforced polyolefin composite is used in transportation, infrastructure, consumer goods and construction.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of characterising and/or separating neutrophils, the method comprises characterising and/or separating the neutrophils into a first population comprising proliferative neutrophils and a second population comprising mature neutrophils, according to the expression of CD101 on the neutrophils. Also disclosed are compositions comprising proliferative neutrophils that are CD10−CD101−, and methods of treatment, diagnostic or prognostic using neutrophils thereof, as well as kits for characterising and/or separating proliferative neutrophils based on the expression of CD101 or CD10. In a preferred embodiment, the population of neutrophils may be characterised as proliferative neutrophils if CD10−CD101−, as immature neutrophils if CD10−CD101+ and as mature neutrophils if CD10+CD101+.

    Abstract: Various embodiments may provide a comparator circuit arrangement. The comparator circuit arrangement may include a preamplifier having a first input configured to be coupled to a first input voltage, a second input configured to be coupled to a second input voltage, and an output configured to generate a preamplifier output signal based on the first input voltage and the second input voltage. The comparator circuit arrangement may also include a switch circuit arrangement coupled to the preamplifier, the switch circuit arrangement configured to deactivate the preamplifier upon the second input voltage exceeding the first input voltage and further configured to activate the preamplifier upon a fall of the second input voltage, and a pull-up circuit arrangement coupled to the output of the preamplifier, the pull-up circuit arrangement configured to provide a boost voltage to the preamplifier output signal for a predetermined duration upon the fall of the second input voltage.

    Abstract: According to the present disclosure, a method of forming an exfoliated or intercalated filler material is provided, wherein the said method comprises the steps of mixing particles of filler material such as montmorillonite (MMT), mica, layered double hydroxide (LDH), and attapulgite (AT) dispersed in an aqueous medium with cationic acrylate monomers to form modified particles comprising positively charged ions, dispersing the modified particles in organic medium to form a dispersion, contacting said dispersion with an organo-silicate such as tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and a functionalizing agent comprising an organo-silane such as aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS), in the presence of a basic catalyst to form a layer of silica on the modified particles. The present disclosure also relates to an exfoliated or intercalated filler material obtained by the said method as well as a method of forming a resin/clay nanocomposite.
