In the present work epoxy/ MWCNT/ mineral fillers nanocomposites were obtained using ultrasonication and calendering. The effect of addition of mineral filler (calcium carbonate, montmorillonite and sepiolite) in electrical, ...

Multimaterial structures between aluminum and titanium alloys are a technologically attractive field of research and their increasing use in the transportation sector for weight and emission reduction is part of the ...

Ionic conductivity in glasses was first discovered and demonstrated by Warburg in 1884, but although it has been studied for over a century, the mechanisms underlying ionic conduction in glasses are not yet entirely ...

Most part of the hydrocarbons reserves used in the global energy matrix are far from their main consumer markets. One of the most technically and economically viable means for such transport is carrying it out ...

In recent years porcelain stoneware tiles showed the highest growth in production and consumption in ceramic industry sector. To achieve low porosity, which ensures the high performance of the product, is required ...

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has excellent properties such as chemical inertness and useful mechanical properties at high and low temperatures. After melt, the PTFE viscosity is so high that the extrusion and injection ...

The microstructure of metastable beta Ti alloys is a decisive factor that governs their properties and, therefore, the assessment of the relation between the microstructure and the fatigue response means an advance in ...

Visible light accounts for the biggest fraction of the solar irradiance. One of the strategies for achieving higher photovoltaic power conversion efficiency is the application of low band-gap materials (Eg ideal≈1.4 eV) ...

The objective of this work was the development of chemically phosphatebonded refractories for applications in petrochemical industries due to their suitable properties such as high green mechanical strength, erosion ...
