In this study nanotubes/epoxy composites were produced in order to evaluate which of the two studied techniques would result in a better degree of dispersion and unentanglement of carbon nanotubes in epoxy resin. The ...

The search for materials that can be modified at molecular level has been the subject of several studies worldwide. Thus, the production techniques of thin films stand out due to the possibility of reducing costs and ...

This work investigates the magnetic properties (hysteresis loop and Barkhausen noise) in some steels (ABNT 1045, 1050 and 1548) whose surfaces had been hardened by induction. The goal was to develop a non-destructive test ...

Zirconium nitride (ZrN) nanometric films were deposited onto different substrates, in order to study the surface microstructure and also to investigate the electrochemical behavior to obtain a better composition that ...

In the present study, polyamide 66 (PA 66) membranes were prepared by phase inversion (PI) and characterized in order to verify their potential application in separation processes. PA 66 membranes were prepared using two ...

In this study, two peat samples (one decomposed DP, and another fibrous FP) were characterized by several instrumental techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), elemental analysis (CHNS), thermogravimetric ...

The addition of both Ti and Cr-C refine the grains in nanocomposites of Nd-Fe-B, increasing substantially the coercive field Hc . This motived our investigation of the effect of the addition of Ti-C and Cr to nanocomposites ...
