Ultrasonic Welding of PBT-GF30 (70% Polybutylene Terephthalate + 30% Fiber Glass) and Expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE)
2021
The ultrasonic welding of polymeric materials is one of the methods often used in practice. However, each couple of material subjected to ultrasonic welding is characterized by different values of technological parameters. Therefore, the main objective of the research presented in this paper is to optimize the parameters for the ultrasonic welding of two materials, namely PBT-GF30 (70% polybutylene terephthalate + 30% fiber glass) and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE). In this sense, the research was carried out considering a plate-type part made of PBT-GF30, which had a thickness of 2.1 mm, and a membrane-type part made of e-PTFE, with a thickness of 0.3 mm. The condition imposed o…

Dynamics photovoltaic generators: Technical aspects and economical valuation
2010
The strategy adopted from many European nations and not, to entrust the electric energy production to differently energetic sources has determined an increment of the scientific research for the solar resource exploitation. These scientific community activities follows with attention from the entrepreneurial world have concentrated on the innovative techniques and methodologies of the source conversion, solar concentration and the direction's device optimization. This job focuses its attention on the simple application of solar-track device, based on consolidated technologies. The diffused application of these dispositive, could be, shortly, an important increment of electricity generation …
Redesign of the Geometry of Parts Produced from PBT Composite to Improve Their Operational Behavior
2021
Parts produced from PBT-GF30 (70% polybutylene terephthalate +30% fiberglass) are very often used in car construction, due to the properties of this material. The current trend is to make parts with a shape designed to be as complex as possible, to take over many functions in operation. During the research, a part that is a component of the structure of car safety systems, and that must be completely reliable in operation, was analyzed. This piece has a complex shape that involves the intersection of several walls. Thus, the research aimed at establishing the optimal radius of connection between the walls (R), the ratio between the thickness of the intersecting walls (K) and the angle of in…
I prodotti da New Plant Breeding Techniques: criticità di inquadramento normativo tra aspetti tecnico-scientifici e valutazioni di opportunità
2020
Nell’ultimo decennio l’evoluzione in campo biotecnologico ha portato istituzioni, autorità ed esperti ad interrogarsi sulla possibilità di applicare le norme in materia di oGM anche agli alimenti risultato dell’applicazione di nuove tecniche genomiche (c.d. New Plant Breeding Techniques o NPBT) A seguito della pronuncia della Corte di giustizia del luglio 2018 e in considerazione del permanere della situazione di incertezza, il Consiglio, nel novembre 2019, ha richiesto alla Commissione europea di raccogliere dei dati e presentare una proposta concreta sullo statuto delle NPBT entro il 2021, al fine di definire linee applicative chiare in materia e che fossero il frutto di un contemperame…
Resource or waste? A perspective of plastics degradation in soil with a focus on end-of-life options.
2018
‘Capable-of-being-shaped’ synthetic compounds are prevailing today over horn, bone, leather, wood, stone, metal, glass, or ceramic in products that were previously left to natural materials. Plastic is, in fact, economical, simple, adaptable, and waterproof. Also, it is durable and resilient to natural degradation (although microbial species capable of degrading plastics do exist). In becoming a waste, plastic accumulation adversely affects ecosystems. The majority of plastic debris pollutes waters, accumulating in oceans. And, the behaviour and the quantity of plastic, which has become waste, are rather well documented in the water, in fact. This review collects existing information on pla…
Oxazoline functionalization of polyethylenes and their blends with polyamides and polyesters
2001
The compatibilization of blends of polyamide-6 (PA6) with linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) and of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) with high density polyethylene (HDPE), by functionalization of the polyethylenes with oxazoline groups was investigated. Chemical modification of LLDPE and HDPE was carried out by melt free radical grafting with ricinoloxazoline maleinate. Blends preparation was made either with a two-steps procedure comprising functionalization and blending, and in a single step in which the chemical modification of polyethylene with the oxazoline monomer was realized in situ, during blending. The characterization of the products was carried out by FTIR spectroscopy an…
The solidification behavior of a PBT/PET blend over a wide range of cooling rate
2009
In recent years, much attention has been paid to the development of high-performance polyester blends, among which blends of polybutylene terephtha- late/polyethylene terephthalate (PBT/PET) are expected to exhibit remarkable prop- erties as far as their crystallization behavior is concerned. Through trial and error, appropriate commercial compositions have been chosen which could not be otherwise explained by a suitable interpretation of the mechanisms determining their solidifica- tion behavior. The solidification behavior of a 60/40 w/w PBT/PET blend was studied in a wide range of cooling conditions, according to a continuous cooling transforma- tion (CCT) procedure developed previously,…
Generatori fotovoltaici dinamici: aspetti tecnici e valutazioni economiche per il loro impiego
2009
La strategia adottata da molte nazioni, europee e non, di affidare la produzione dell’energia elettrica ad un insieme equilibrato di fonti energetiche ha determinato un incremento delle attività di ricerca anche per lo sfruttamento della risorsa solare. Queste attività intraprese dalla comunità scientifica e seguite con attenzione dal mondo imprenditoriale si sono concentrate sulle tecniche e metodologie innovative di conversione della fonte, sulla concentrazione della radiazione solare nel punto di collocazione del dispositivo di conversione o ancora sull’ottimizzazione dell’orientamento del dispositivo rispetto alla direzione della radiazione. Questo lavoro focalizza la sua attenzione su …
