Robust scenario formulations for strategic supply chain optimization under uncertainty

McLean, Kyle (Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research, 2013)

Strategic supply chain optimization (SCO) problems are often modelled as a two-stage optimization problem, in which the first-stage variables represent decisions on the development of the supply chain and the second-stage ...
Novel Formulation and Efficient Solution Strategy for Strategic Optimization of an Industrial Chemical Supply Chain Under Demand Uncertainty

McLean, Kyle; Ogbe, Emmanuel; Li, Xiang (The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, 2015)

This paper is concerned with strategic optimization of a typical industrial chemical supply chain, which involves a material purchase and transportation network, several manufacturing plants with on-site material and product ...
Coagent Modified Polypropylene Prepared by Reactive Extrusion: A New Look Into the Structure-Property Relations of Injection Molded Parts

Tiwary, Praphulla; Gui, Hua; Ferreira, Pedro Luiz; Kontopoulou, Marianna (2016-06-09)

Peroxide-mediated reactive extrusion of linear isotactic polypropylene (L-PP) was conducted in the presence of trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) and triallyl trimesate (TAM) coagents, using a twin screw extruder. ...
