Composites manufactured by resin transfer molding depend on appropriate processing parameters to ensure adequate reinforcement-matrix adhesion. Permeability predicts the fluid flow resistance through reinforcement. The ...

© 2021 Elsevier B.V.Fracturing and damage around faults related to seismogenesis can enhance hydrothermal fluid percolation, causing mineral precipitation. This study uses hydrothermally sealed microfractures across an ...

Mixed matrix membranes have become a highly potential unique materials in many engineering application to overcome limitations presented by other products. In this contribution, an improved form of Maxwell's equation (the ...

Spherical silica nanoparticles with 20 and 100 nm diameters and organic-template layered silica nanoparticles synthesized by the sol-gel method were melt blended with a polypropylene (PP) matrix in order to study and ...

Nanocomposite materials based on a starch matrix reinforced with very small amounts of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) (from 0.005 wt% to 0.055 wt%) were developed. The material's dynamic-mechanical and water vapor ...

Forest fragmentation and habitat loss are among the major current extinction causes. Remaining fragments are mostly small, isolated and showing poor quality. Being primarily arboreal, Neotropical primates are generally ...

A nanolaminate consists of two or more layers of material with nanometric dimensions that are physically or chemically bonded to each other. Starch based edible films present suitable characteristics for food protection, ...

The concrete is not one hundred percent impermeable since the water that remains inside it causes its corrosion, in the case of reinforced concrete, exposed in an area of marine atmosphere, the sea salt mostly present in ...
