The main objective of this work was to study a new inorganic adhesive used for wood-based panel. Inorganic adhesive and its poplar plywood were prepared to investigate their properties. Thermo-gravimetric analysis tests revealed that the total mass loss of inorganic adhesive was 76.24%, which was higher than that of phenol-formaldehyde resin (64.97%). The results showed better thermal stability of inorganic adhesive. For inorganic adhesive plywood, approximately 30% decrease in peak of heat release rate, 62% in total smoke production and 20% in mean CO2 yield, respectively, were seen compared to the control by cone calorimeter analysis. Scanning electron microscopy imaged wider glue line of inorganic adhesives plywood, which was related to the bonding strength of plywood. Thus the inorganic adhesive of fireproofing made in lab could be better used for plywood processing.

An ethyl acetate extract from of Nervilia fordii (NFE) with considerable suppression activity on lipid peroxidation (LPO) was first obtained with total phenolic and flavonoid contents and anti-LPO activity (IC50) of 86.67 ± 2.5 mg GAE/g sample, 334.56 ± 4.7 mg RE/g extract and 0.307 mg/mL, respectively. In order to improve its stability and expand its application in antioxidant packaging, the nano-encapsulation of NFE within poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and polyvinyl(pyrrolidone) (PVP) bio-composite film was then successfully developed using electrospinning. SEM analysis revealed that the NFE-loaded fibers exhibited similar morphology to the neat PVA/PVP fibers with a bead-free and smooth morphology. The encapsulation efficiency of NFE was higher than 90% and the encapsulated NFE still retained its antioxidant capacity. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed the successful encapsulation of NFE into fibers and their compatibility, and the thermal stability of which was also improved due to the intermolecular interaction demonstrated by thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). The ability to preserve the fish oil’s oxidation and extend its shelf-life was also demonstrated, suggesting the obtained PVA/PVP/NFE fiber mat has the potential as a promising antioxidant food packaging material.

Composite films with polyurethane (PU), phenol formaldehyde resin (PFR) and boron, phosphorus-containing phenol formaldehyde resins (P-PFR and B, P-PFR), were synthesized using sol–gel and copolymerization techniques. These composite films were deposited via spin-coating onto an aluminum alloy (AA) for improve the corrosion protection. The effects of different types of PFR on the structural, thermal and mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the composites were investigated. The structures and morphologies of the composites were investigated by the gel permeation chromatography (GPC), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). It was shown from the dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) that the mechanical and thermal properties of PU were improved by incorporation of PFR, P-PFR and B, P-PFR. In addition, the PU/PFR composites provided an excellent corrosion protection in comparison with PU according to potentio-dynamic and salt-spray analyses.

In this study, the thermal properties of a kind of new geotextile materials, so called controlled permeable formwork (CPF), were studied. Thermo-gravimetric analysis showed that the weight of CPF didn’t change much between 0~350 °C. Dynamic mechanical analysis showed that the storage modulus of CPF reduced from 25 MPa to around 10 MPa when the temperature rose to above 100 °C. The strength of sample decreased slightly with the increase of the temperature. The breaking elongation changed slightly with a maximum at 80 °C. The CPF showed excellent thermal stability and was suitable for general use in construction work.

In order to improve the properties of boron-containing phenol-formaldehyde resin (BPFR), the tetrabromo-bisphenol A epoxy resin (TBBPAER) was used to cure BPFR. The curing mechanism, thermal properties and the fire resistance of TBBPAER/BPFR were investigated by fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), torsional braid analysis (TBA) and the oxygen index method. The results show, -OH of -C6H4-CH2OH and -C6H4OH reacts with the epoxy group. With the increase in the amount of BPFR, the thermal properties get better. When the additive amount of TBBPAER is 10 wt%, this material has best thermal stability at high temperature and higher temperature of loss bromine. The glass transition temperature (Tg) is 223.2 °C and the LOI is 68.5.

This work is concerned with the synthesis and characterization of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT) reinforced Kevlar KM2Plus composites with various MWCNT contents (0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and 0.8 wt. %), by the wet lay-up technique. These samples were experimentally investigated for their thermo-mechanical properties using Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), tensile testing and three-point bending techniques. The mechanical properties showed remarkable improvement with increasing MWCNT wt.% up to certain content. The results revealed that the addition of MWCNT fillers has no significant effect on the thermal stability of the composites.


Evaluation of consumer properties of polyurethane thermal panels is the goal of the work. Physico-mechanical and operational characteristics of thermal panels are determined to achieve the purpose of the work. Methods of IR spectroscopy and thermo gravimetric analysis were used to study the structure of the samples. Satisfactory consumer properties of the studied thermo panels are brought out: compliance of clinker with the DIN EN 121 standard; absence of visual defects and change of color of thermo panels after 50 cycles of freezing-thawing; absence of changing color of thermo panels after influence of UV of radiation with the wavelength of 240-320 nanometers within 607 hours 30 minutes; high values of coefficients of sound absorption in the frequency range from 600 to 1600 Hz; low heat conductivity of the FPU layer. The influence of UV-radiation on thermal stability of foamed polyurethane is valued. Thermal analysis methods and IR spectroscopy are used to assess the degree of UV - destruction of polyurethane foam. At destruction of foamed polyurethane there is a rupture of chemically weak communication and formation of alcohols, air, olefins. The results of IR-spectroscopy illustrate the beginning of the processes of destruction of samples of FPU under the influence of UV-radiation. Using the thermo gravimetric analysis the research of the FPU thermal properties under the influence of UV - radiations is conducted. It is established that compositions from FPU under the influence of UV- radiation have lower temperature of the beginning of decomposition, than initial material. The influence of UV-radiation on heat stability of the studied compositions is shown. The possible mechanism of destruction of FPU is confirmed in the research. The DSС method has estimated the resistance of FPU to the oxidizing influence characterizing the material operation time. The studied consumer properties of thermal panels show that they can be used in civil engineering as effective protection structures of buildings.

The thermal stabilities of two amine based multifunctional epoxy resins (TGDDE/MNA & TGBAPP/MNA) and two dimer carboxylic acid (DFA) toughened resins (DFA-TGDDE/MNA & DFA-TGBAPP/MNA) were comparatively investigated with the thermo-gravimetric analysis (TG). The TG parameters of the resins indicated that the thermal stability of the resins was increased after the modification. Furthermore, the thermal degradation kinetics was studied with a dynamic method according to Ozawa model, which explained this phenomenon.

Abstract Single crystals of Lanthanum oxalate [La2 (C2O4)3]1OH2O and Dy3+ doped Lanthanum oxalate [La2-xDyx (C2O4)3]10H2O with x=0.1, 0.15, 0.2 were grown by gel method and characterised by X-ray powder diffraction analysis. Thermal stability of sample was investigated by thermo gravimetric analysis. UV-Visible absorption and photo-luminescent studies were also conducted. The emission spectrum on exciting at 271nm and 364 nm were recorded in which Dy3+ ions showed four emission bands at positions 458nm (blue), 478 nm (blue), 572 nm (yellow) and 655 nm (red) corresponding to transitions 4I15/2→ 6H15/2, 4F9/2→ 6H15/2, 4F9/2→ 6H13/2 and 4F9/2→ 6H11/2 respectively. The CIE coordinates, colour purity and CCT values were calculated, and all these parameters show that Dy3+ doped lanthanum oxalate single crystals are suitable candidates for white light emitting applications.
