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 ...

In this study thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) composites were obtained with different nanoclay contents (0, 1, 3 for all cases and 10 wt% in some cases). The nanoclay Cloisite 30B (C30B) was dispersed in the TPU matrix ...

The objective of this dissertation is to present a study of the influence of the addition of nanoclays on thermal, morphological, physical and anticorrosive properties of powder coatings epoxy resin based. Polymeric ...

The crystalline structure and some elastic properties of the a and g phases of zirconium tungstate, ZrW2O8, were calculated according to Density Functional Theory using the B3LYP functional (DFT/B3LYP). The structure of ...

Environmental and energy sustainability issues have promoted the search for biofuels produced from renewable sources, such as ethanol obtained from sugarcane processing. However, this new generation of biofuels can cause ...

In this work was studied the basaltic source rock addition effect of on the packing particle of clay mixtures for ceramic industry applications. The raw materials (MPs) were collected in the region of Caí Valley in the ...

Composites of high density polyethylene (HDPE) with waste textile fiber (WTF) with optimized mechanical properties were developed in order to make possible the recycling these residues. In order to accomplish this goal, ...

The friction phenomenon still does not have an understanding in fundamental terms. Such understanding would help clarifying the frictional energy dissipation during the interaction between atoms of two or more surfaces ...

The self-assembled films (SAF) by physical adsorption, compounds of organic polyelectrolytes and inorganic semiconductor nanoparticles are considered an inexpensive process and non-pollutant deposition that gives films ...

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 ...
