The research results mostly confirm the viability of a framework, which causes it to become an analytical tool for the platform provider to guide embedded strategic decision-making in a multi-sided platform. This paper can enlighten the current players in the market and might utilize the ...
. Upon the application of load, the deformation induces an alignment and unentanglement of the polymeric chains, with the initial amorphous conformation turned into a semicrystalline-like one. Such a phenomenon usually occurs at quite large deformation, thanks to the highly-oriented arrangement of ...
