Materials are the main substances that have an important effect on company development and require some simple or complex manufacturing technologies. The future use of recyclable materials will become an extremely important factor in all fields of activity. Therefore, "liquid wood", due to its biodegradability and mechanical properties superior to other plastics, could replace some plastic materials in the near future. The injected parts can be obtained using the same injection machines used for the injection of plastic materials. The technological injection parameters such as: injection pressure, injection time, cooling time, mold temperature, etc. are different. A new study of transport fenomena in liquid wood treated with the complex fluid is proposed considering that the complex fluid and agents moving in continuous and non-differentiable curves (fractal curves). Within this framework, the transport equations of mass, energy and impulse are obtained and the fundamental theorems of complex fluid are established at well. In the end, our model and the classical results are correlated.

In this study, porous Si3N4 ceramics were fabricated by carbothermal reduction reaction between silicon dioxide and carbon. The influences of different starting powders and sintering additives on microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. XRD analysis demonstrated the formation of single-phase β-Si3N4 except for glass phase and minor of α-Si3N4 phase. SEM analysis showed that the resultant porous Si3N4 ceramics occupied fine microstructure and uniform pore structure. The samples with fine starting powder showed fine, high aspect ratio of β-Si3N4 grains and good mechanical properties. The addition of Al2O3 accelerated the densification of porous Si3N4 ceramics. With an increasing in the sintering additive content, the porosity decreased, the flexural strength increased.

The effectiveness of superheated steam (SHS) as an alternative, eco-friendly treatment method to modify the surface of pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) for biocomposite applications was investigated. The aim of this treatment was to improve the interfacial adhesion between the fiber and the polymer. The treatment was carried out in an SHS oven for different temperatures (190–230 °C) and times (30–120 min). Biocomposites fabricated from SHS-treated PALFs and polylactic acid (PLA) at a weight ratio of 30:70 were prepared via melt-blending techniques. The mechanical properties, dimensional stability, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) for the biocomposites were evaluated. Results showed that treatment at temperature of 220 °C for 60 min gave the optimum tensile properties compared to other treatment temperatures. The tensile, flexural, and impact properties as well as the dimensional stability of the biocomposites were enhanced by the presence of SHS-treated PALF. The SEM analysis showed improvement in the interfacial adhesion between PLA and SHS-treated PALF. XRD analysis showed an increase in the crystallinity with the addition of SHS-PALF. The results suggest that SHS can be used as an environmentally friendly treatment method for the modification of PALF in biocomposite production.

Abstract This work presents a study to evaluate the process of producing internal holes in ceramic disks produced by low pressure injection molding (LPIM) process. Two process conditions defined as pre-injection and post-injection were used to test the proposition. In the first one the pin cores that produce the holes were positioned in the cavity before the injection of the feedstock; and in the second one, the pin cores were positioned in the cavity, just after the feeding phase of the injection mold. An experimental injection mold designed and manufactured to test both processes was developed to produce ceramic disk with Ø 50 x 2 mm with four holes of Ø 5 mm, equally and radially distributed through the disk. The feedstock was composed of 86 wt% alumina (Al2O3) and 14 wt% organic vehicle based on paraffin wax. Heating and cooling systems controlled by a data acquisition system were included in the mold. The results showed that there were no welding lines with the post-injection process, proving to be an option for creating holes in the ceramic parts produced by LPIM. It was observed that best results were obtained at 58 °C mold temperature. The pins extraction temperature was about 45 °C, and the injection pressure was 170 kPa.

The additive manufacturing technologies are fast-developing industrial sector and, potentially, a ground-breaking technology. They have many advantages such as the saving of resources and energy efficiency. However, the full exploitation of 3D printing technology for ceramic materials is currently limited; a lot of research is being conducted in this area. A promising solution seems to be geopolymers, but its application requires a better understanding of the behaviour this group of materials. This article analyses the influence of microstructure on mechanical properties whilst taking the production method into consideration. The paper is based on comparative analysis – the investigation is focused on the influence of material structure on the mechanical properties and fracture mechanism of these kinds of composites, including those reinforced with different kind of fibres. As a raw material for the matrix, fly ash from the Skawina coal power plant (located in: Skawina, Lesser Poland, Poland) was used. The investigation was made by SEM analysis. The results show that the microstructural analysis did not sufficiently explain the underlying reasons for the observed differences in the mechanical properties of the composites.

AbstractThe Ca0.9Yb0.1MnO3/Ag composites(the ratio of Ag to Ca0.9Yb0.1MnO3 was 0, 4.7, 9.4, and 18.8 wt %) were prepared by wet milling various amounts of Ca0.9Yb0.1MnO3 and Ag2O powder mixtures followed by sintering in order to improve the mechanical properties of Ca0.9Yb0.1MnO3 for n-type legs of thermoelectric oxide devices. The obtained composites consisted of two phases such as Ca0.9Yb0.1MnO3 and metallic silver from the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis indicated that the Ag particles, the size of which was within 5 μm, were homogeneously dispersed in Ca0.9Yb0.1MnO3 matrix for all the composites. The σf of 18.8 wt% Ag composite became 251 MPa, which was 2 times larger value than that of Ca0.9Yb0.1MnO3. The power factor (S2ρ) was slightly improved by the addition of silver particles. The maximum S2ρ, i.e. 0.26 mWm-1K-2 at 573 K was obtained for 18.8 wt% Ag composite.

In this paper, the carbon fiber and ABS composites were prepared in different carbon fiber power mass percent by the twin screw extruder. The mechanical properties of the ABS/CF composites were studied in different process parameters by injection molding. The influence of mold temperature, melt temperature, packing pressure and injection pressure on the mechanical properties was analyzed in different carbon fiber composites. The results show that with the content of carbon fiber increase, the tensile stress of the composite materials also increase. The effect of different carbon fiber power content on tensile stress is greater compared with process parameters.

Porous TiN ceramics with high porosity and uniform pore structure was prepared following the carbothermal reduction reaction between TiO2 and carbon. Influences of sintering additives and particle size of TiO2 on the microstructure and mechanical properties of porous TiN ceramics were investigated. Microstructure and mechanical properties of porous TiN ceramics were studied by XRD, SEM and three-point bending measurement. XRD analysis proved that the TiN phase has completely formed after reaction. In addition, SEM analysis showed that the resultant porous TiN ceramics were composed of fine grains with uniform pore structure. The addition of La2O3 not only accelerated the densification of porous TiN ceramics, but also decreased the porosity and increased the flexural strength. With a decrease in TiO2 particle size, the linear shrinkage increased and the porosity decreased accordingly.
