This study aims at analysing the ideal rate of two stabilizers in elastomeric compounds, used in tires that require a long-term performance, submitted to different kinds of aging. The resistance to the aging can be achieved ...

Glass foams are heterophasic materials applied in acoustic and thermal insulation, and compared to other materials, are lightweight and sturdy. Glass foams can be prepared from glass packaging, cathode ray tubes and other ...

The interaction modes of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) of closed cages with distinct functional groups were evaluated on isotactic polypropylene (iPP) nanostructuration via reactive processing. POSS were ...

This paper presents the nitriding experimental investigation of partially yttria stabilized zirconia (3 mol%), in particular, plasma generated by radiofrequency (RF), using two distinct methods: i) plasma nitriding, by ...

Hybrid materials, such as polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS), nowadays have received special attention because they are materials that have a synergistic combination of organic and inorganic materials properties. ...

In this work were investigated the morphological, themal and rheological properties of a isotactic polypropylene/ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer rubber/nanoclay Cloisite 15A composite, prepared by mixed melt and submitted ...

This work studies the deposition of titanium nitride (TiN) thin films on stainless steel AISI 304 substrate for decorative applications. The films studied here are composed of a layer of Ti working as an interlayer between ...

In this work an evaluation of the thermal and mechanical properties of PP/PP-g-MA composites with 5 and 10 wt% of MMT-Na+, MMT-15A, MMT-30B, CaCO3 and CaCO3-AE nanofillers was performed. Composites were prepared in a ...
