In this work was made a theoretical study on composite materials. Next, was made a didactic approach to create composites using the ANSYS software's ACP system. Simulations through the software have been proposed in order ...

The project aims to develop ceramic compounds with gradients of the mechanical properties, using the molding technique with commercial starches. To understand the process of interaction between starch and ceramic powders, ...

This work deals with the processing and characterization of two hybrid metal composites: aluminum / PPS / carbon fiber and titanium/PEEK/carbon fiber. For a good adhesion at the composite interface that has aluminum as ...

With the development of metal fiber hybrid composite in the 70's, there was a revolution in the aircraft industry. Along with the application of these materials to various components of aircraft structures, studies for ...

The waste, exaggerated and incorrect disposal of biomass are common practices in modern times where everything is disposable. However the growing concern with the nature and the environment compel man to give nobler ...

Due to growing concerns for reducing environmental damage caused by the use of non-renewable raw materials, there is a growing demand for research related to aggregate technology with environmental preservation. Thus, the ...

The automotive industry has been adopting the substitution of synthetic composite materials for natural, either by economic factors, environmental issues or mechanical properties. In this scenario, several matrices and ...

In this work polymeric composites reinforced with cotton fibers, from the textile industry, were developed in order to manufacture printed circuit boards. It was used expanded polystyrene (EPS) as a thermoplastic matrix ...

Currently, recycling of materials at the end of consumer goods' working life has been in the spotlight in society, especially due to the environmental benefits generated by this practice. For this reason, recycling becomes ...

Soluble electronic materials have been intensively investigated in the past few years. Their solution processability, combined with specific electronic properties have made them candidates for large areas and low cost ...
