The use of additives from alternative sources to petrochemical has attracted the interest of many academic researches and applications. The inputs as soybean oil have great potential in the polymer modification. However, ...

Austenitic stainless steel materials are widely used in systems that require high oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance. However, in contact with other surfaces, these materials show a high coefficient of friction ...

The deposition of thin films can be employed to modify and/or functionalize the properties of a material’s surface, improving wear resistance (tribological properties) or changing the resistivity (electrical properties). ...

The incorporation of vegetable oils into the development of tread rubber formulation has been one of the alternatives to reduce the use of oil with high contents of aromatic polycyclics. Many studies suggest the substitution ...

This research has determined the parameters of powder metallurgy in order to use the wasted powder from the shot blasting process and transform it in components. The wasted was evaluated by its physical and micro-structural ...

Este trabalho apresenta um estudo das propriedades mecânicas e tribológicas de compósitos de alumina reforçados com partículas de nióbio obtidos pela técnica de sinterização por plasma pulsado (Spark Plasma Sintering – ...

This work presents the production of EVA micro/nanofibers using the solution blow spinning method and its possibility of application in agriculture, in pest control, through the incorporation of synthetic sex pheromones. ...

The objective of this work was to obtain an EPDM elastomeric formulation for application at high temperatures. The influence of characteristics such as the ethene, propene, and diene content and Mooney viscosity, the use ...

Contamination by bacterial biofilms has a strong negative impact, especially when given on the surface of prostheses, implants, pins and other medical-surgical devices. In this study metal samples of Titanium cp and AISI ...

The surface modification of polymeric materials has led to significant design advances of new industrial applications, besides allowing the replacement of engineering polymers by lower cost materials. Thus, in the present ...
