This work is focused on the influence of moisture content on the processing and mechanical properties of a biodegradable polyester used for applications in injection molding. The pellets of the biodegradable polyester were exposed under different relative humidity conditions at a constant temperature before being compression molded. The compression-molded specimens were again placed under the above conditions before the mechanical testing. With all these samples, it is possible to determine the effect of moisture content on the processing and mechanical properties separately, as well as the combined effect of moisture content on the mechanical properties. The results obtained showed that the amount of absorbed water—both before processing and before mechanical testing—causes an increase in elongation at break and a slight reduction of the elastic modulus and tensile strength. These changes have been associated with possible hydrolytic degradation during the compression molding process and, in particular, with the plasticizing action of the moisture absorbed by the specimens.

Portland cement concretes were prepared by adding different igneous materials from west central Mexico. The results of the mechanical testing of these materials show the feasibility of employing igneous minerals to produce concretes and mortars, provided a careful control of granulometry and the geochemistry involved is attained. The mechanical performance, as well as the workability of the slurries can be managed by the convenient use of commercial additives (i.e. water reducers and aging accelerators). These results open the attractive possibility of expanding the natural sources of concrete-forming elements.
