Bitcoinin historiallinen kehitys vuosina 2008-2018
2018
Kryptovaluutta Bitcoinista on kasvanut sen kymmenvuotisen historiansa aikana merkittävä vaihtoehtoisvaluutta, joka on saanut aikaan valtavan, globaalin ilmiön. Ihmiset, yritykset eivätkä yhteiskunnat kuitenkaan ymmärrä Bitcoinin historiaa, tarkoitusta saati teknologiaa, mikä johtaa monenlaisiin väärinkäsityksiin tästä virtuaalivaluutasta. Tässä kirjallisuuskatsauksena toteutetussa kandidaatintutkielmassa tarkasteltiin kryptovaluutta Bitcoinin historiallista kehitystä sen alkuvuodesta 2008 vuoteen 2018 asti. Historian tunteminen on tärkeää, kun pyritään ymmärtä-mään nykypäivää. Tutkielmassa pystyttiin käymään läpi Bitcoinin koko histo-ria aivan sen alkuvuosista asti, koska Bitcoinin ensiaske…
Creep Behavior of Poly(lactic acid) Based Biocomposites
2017
Polymer composites containing natural fibers are receiving growing attention as possible alternatives for composites containing synthetic fibers. The use of biodegradable matrices obtained from renewable sources in replacement for synthetic ones is also increasing. However, only limited information is available about the creep behavior of the obtained composites. In this work, the tensile creep behavior of PLA based composites, containing flax and jute twill weave woven fabrics, produced through compression molding, was investigated. Tensile creep tests were performed at different temperatures (i.e., 40 and 60 °C). The results showed that the creep behavior of the composites is strongly inf…
Effect of the UV exposure on the creep behaviour of PLA based green composites
2018
Green composites made of biodegradable matrices and lignocellulosic fibers are receiving growing attention from both academia and industries. Despite a wide literature can be found about mechanical behavior of such kind of composites, at the best of our knowledge, only limited information is available about their creep behavior [1] and no papers have been yet done on the effect of ultraviolet exposition. The tensile creep behavior at 40 °C of PLA based composites, containing flax and jute twill weave woven fabrics, produced through compression molding, was investigated. As preliminary characterization, quasi-static tensile tests were carried out on virgin and UV aged composites
Influence of sodium bicarbonate treatment on the aging resistance of natural fiber reinforced polymer composites under marine environment
2019
Abstract Aim of the current study is to investigate how an innovative and eco-friendly chemical treatment based on sodium bicarbonate solution (10 wt%) can improve the aging resistance in marine environment of epoxy based composites, reinforced with flax and jute fibers. To this scope, treated and untreated fiber reinforced composites were manufactured through vacuum infusion technique. The resulting composites were then exposed to salt-fog spray conditions up to 60 days, according to ASTM B117 standard. The assessment of their durability was made by means of tensile, flexural quasi-static tests and Charpy impact tests. Furthermore, the water uptake evolution of each composite was monitored…
The assessment over time of the performance of jute-basalt hybrid composites for cladding panels
2017
The technology of dry assembly to produce multi-layer panels is an efficient alternative to traditional systems. Eco-sustainable systems are increasingly studied, particularly fiber reinforced composites for external cladding, based on natural fibers. Nevertheless, durability data on these composites are still lacking, being this is a really actual theme, especially for their potential use in outdoor applications. In this way, hybridization of natural fibers with mineral fibers as basalt ones appears promising. In the present paper, the performance of jute-reinforced laminate was compared with those of two jute/basalt reinforced hybrid laminates. The laminates were manufactured by means of …
