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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A sandwich panel consists essentially of two face sheets and may even have metal reinforcements and a core formed, usually by a cellular polymer. The faces of this type of panel may be joined by a structural adhesive or ...

The present work aims to analyze the mechanical, thermal, dynamicalmechanical thermal properties and morphology of composites based on recycled polystyrene and wood flour. Composites with different types and levels of ...

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 ...

Polymeric materials, such as polystyrene, are widely used as biomaterials, both in the pharmaceutical industry and biomedical areas. With the use of more specialized biomaterials, it is reported a significant increase of ...

The biofilms are a new form of life that offers greater resistance to microorganisms, protecting them against physical and chemical aggressions of the surroundings, which facilitate its adaptation in adverse conditions. ...
