Tradurre la Nigeria in Sicilia: Il Sommo Soyinka
No full textThe chapter linguistically and culturally frames the writing of the celebrated Nigerian Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka, whose works the author has translated into Italian. Examining Soyinka’s production in the context of Nigerian English-language literature, she reflects on how translating is a linguistic as much as a cultural process. Focusing on the Nobel Laureate’s post-exile literary production, the essay highlights the context and the techniques used in the translation of his mature poem, A Humanist Ode for Chibok, Leah (2019), which addresses pressing contemporary social and political themes through a poetic form inspired by ancient models
Scrivere tra le righe
No full textThe three editors of the volume reflect on the nature and history of translation studies and on literary translation in theory and practice, focusing on poetry from the Anglophone postcolonial world
Solid-State Supercritical CO2 Foaming of PCL and PCL-HA Nano-Composite: Effect of Composition, Thermal History and Foaming Process on Foam Pore Structure
No full textIn this work we investigated the solid-state supercritical CO2 (scCO2) foaming of poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL), a semi-crystalline, biodegradable polyester, and PCL loaded with 5 wt% of hydroxyapatite (HA) nano-particles.
In order to investigate the effect of the thermal history and eventual residue of the crystalline phase on the pore structure of the foams, samples were subjected to three different cooling protocols from the melt, and subsequently foamed by using scCO2 as blowing agent. The foaming process was performed in the 37–40◦C temperature range, melting point of PCL being 60◦C. The saturation pressure, in the range from 10 to 20 MPa, and the foaming time, from 2 to 900 s, were modulated in order to control the final morphology, porosity and pore structure of the foams and, possibly, to amplify the original differences among the different samples.
The results of this study demonstrated that by the scCO2 foaming it was possible to produce PCL and PCL-HA foams with homogeneous morphologies at relatively low temperatures. Furthermore, by the appropriate combination of materials properties and foaming parameters, we prepared foams with porosities in the 55–85% range, mean pore size from 40 to 250um and pore density from 105 to 108 pore/cm3. Finally, we also proposed a two-step depressurization foaming process for the design of bi-modal and highly interconnected foams suitable as scaffolds for tissue engineering
