The requirements to achieve what is demanded by the environmental laws make important the use of areas for sanitary landfills. The adequate disposal of waste associated with the current legislation also demands larger ...

In this study composites with a polymeric matrix comprising a blend of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and the copolymer ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), and with polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) as the nanoclay, ...

The aim of this study was to incorporate styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) industrial scraps into a base formulation of identical composition used in the fabrication process of extruded profiles. Technical and environmental ...

High temperature plasma nitriding of yttria-partially stabilized zirconia in atmospheric pressure microwave plasma was investigated. The morphological, mechanical and physico-chemical characteristics of the resulting ...

Despite the technological advances on the structural concrete production, in natura materials are still used. This fact has been causing environmental and economic problems to the manufacturing chain. One of the problems ...

Friction materials are composites the polymer matrix of which is usually a novolak phenolic resin. Performance requirements of friction materials demand a steep control of the processing conditions, during crosslinking ...
