Research of the physical-chemical properties of adhesive radiation-modified thermosetting materials based on polyolefins and their composites

1999

The present paper surveys the investigation results of the adhesive behavior with steel of different polyethylenes (LDPE, HDPE) irradiated with γ-radiation in vacuum, oxygen, and air, using rheological, optical, thermomechanical and other methods. To study the adhesive contact, the technological parameters applicable to thermosetting polymer material were taken into consideration. The results show the suitable methods in order to obtain thermosetting polymer materials with improved adhesive and thermomechanical properties.

Preparation and Recycling of Plasticized PLA

2010

Poly(lacticacid)(PLA)hasbeengainingarisinginterestoverthe last years as a biodegradable and environmental-friendly substitute of traditional non-biodegradable poly-mers.Several ways exist to synthesize PLA, however, poly-merization through lactide formation is the most used onindustrial scale, allowing to obtain optimum results interms of mechanical and thermal properties.

Influence of Nanoclay Additive on Mechanical Properties of Bio-Based Polyurethane Nanocomposites

2013

This paper is about investigation of the bio-based polyurethanes from the rapeseed oil polyols and their modification with montmorillonite nanoparticles. The results of hardness and tensile properties investigation of polyurethane / montmorillonite nanocomposites are presented.

Nanocomposite, an innovative route to large structure and infrastructure protection. A case of study: CNT-doped polyurea

2010

<p>In this work we focus on experimental studies of polymer-nanocomposites intended for passive protection of civil structures. The material consists of a polyurea-matrix enhanced by different quantities of multiwalled carbon nanotubes. Several tensile and cyclic tests are performed to evaluate and characterize the mechanical behaviour of this new material. Furthermore, we subject the material to accelerated thermal aging and study its performance deterioration which is fairly unknown. The results on the unaged specimens are intuitive and indicate that an arbitrary amount of CNTs may result in suboptimal performance. More specifically, 1% in weight of CNTs yields the best mechanical p…

Recycling of heterogeneous plastics wastes. II—The role of modifier agents

1993

Abstract Recycling of mixed plastics waste, mainly composed of PEs, PET and PVC has been carried out by blending with recycled polyethylene. Although the extrusion of these blends has been carried out at high temperatures, the degradation of the PVC was modest due to the short residence times. The mechanical properties of these secondary materials, up to about 30% of mixed plastics waste, are very similar to those of the recycled polyethylene, except for the elongation to break. By adding some modifier agents, the elongation at break and especially the impact strength can be further improved.

Some Aspects of the Influence of Particle Size on Properties and Behaviour of a Dielectric Material : Example of Barium Titanate

1989

Anybody agrees with the idea that particle size plays an important role in the behaviour of a polycrystalline material but very few studies are giving precise information about this role. In this paper some experimental results are presented succintly to illustrate the importance of this physico-chemical factor. They are related to barium titanate, the main component of the dielectric material in the type II ceramic capacitors.

Self-lubricating epoxide composites Kompozyty epoksydowe o właściwościach samosmarujących

2015

A com. epoxy resin was modified by addn. of aliph. polyamine, graphite, a poly-α-olefin oil and phosphate fire retardant, cured at 130°C and studied for friction coeff. in contact with steel, heat resistance and mech. strength. The addn. of graphite resulted in a decrease in the resin hardness, impact strength and friction coeff.

Performance Test of Various Teeth Diameter of Cylinder Type Sago Rasping Machine

2021

Traditional method of sago starch extraction was a time and labor intensive process. The most laborious stage is pith disintegration which is done by using hammer-like tools called pounder. However, the use of rasping machine to disintegrate the pith is saving time and energy significantly. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of teeth diameter and cylinder rotation speed on performance of cylinder type sago rasping machine. In the experiment, four variations of teeth diameter i.e. 3mm, 4 mm, 5 mm and 6 mm, and three levels of cylinder rotation speed i.e. 1500 rpm, 2000 rpm and 2500 rpm were examined. Results showed that both teeth diameter and cylinder rotation speed s…
