The effect of modifiers - nickel bis(N,N-dimethyldithiocarbamate) (DTC-Ni) and iron tris(N, N-dimethyldithiocarbamate) (DTC-Fe) depending on their content on the structural peculiarities of polyurethane matrix based on polyoxytetramethylene glycol-1000 4,4’-diphenylmethane diisocyanate and 1,4-butanediol has been studied. The method of IR spectroscopy according to the results of NH groups’, C = O- and COC fragments’ association has shown the structuring effect of modifiers due to the PU matrix coordination. The processes of photolysis occurred as a result of exposure of PU under the conditions of the climate chamber have been also studied by IR spectroscopy method. The influence of modifiers and their content on the modified polyurethanes density has been investigated. The planar structure of DTC-Ni has shown to contribute to the density increase of modified PU as the result of polymer chain coordination, while the spherical structure of DTC-Fe - causes a density decrease due to steric hindrances in the implementation of H-bonds. Modification of polyurethanes with both nickel bis (N, N-dimethyldithiocarbamate) and iron tris (N, N-dimethyldithiocarbamate) as well as UV irradiation and moisture under the conditions of the climatic chamber contribute to the increase of water absorption. Studies of the strength properties of modified polyurethanes in comparison with the matrix under the conditions of the climate chamber have established the photosensitizing effect of nickel and iron dithiocarbamates. By studying the mass of samples of PU-DTС-Fe/Ni after extraction with dimethylformamide in the Soxhlet apparatus it has been found an increase in the level of gel fraction (0.29 - 1.58%) with increasing the modifier content, which confirms the presence of a network structure of modified PU due to radical processes taking place during destruction with the modifier participation. The influence of alkaline and acidic media on the destruction level of both modified polyurethanes and their analogues depending on the modifier content under the influence of climatic chamber conditions has been studied. Comparative derivatographic studies in air of weight loss of modified polyurethanes have confirmed the structuring and thermostabilizing effect of DTC-Ni on the PU matrix due to the probable difficulty of oxygen diffusion to the polymer volume, while the spatial structure of PU-DTC-Fe reduces the thermal stability.

The article presents the study of alumina nanoparticles’ (nanofibers) concentration effect on the strength properties of pure nickel. The samples were obtained by spark plasma sintering of previously mechanically activated metal powders. The dependence of the grain size and the relative density of compacts on the number of nanofibers was investigated. It was found that with an increase in the concentration of nanofibers, the average size of the matrix particles decreased. The effects of the nanoparticle concentration (0.01–0.1 wt.%) on the elastic modulus and tensile strength were determined for materials at 25 °C, 400 °C, and 750 °C. It was shown that with an increase in the concentration of nanofibers, a 10–40% increase in the elastic modulus and ultimate tensile strength occurred. A comparison of the mechanical properties of nickel in a wide range of temperatures, obtained in this work with materials made by various technologies, is carried out. A description of nanofibers’ mechanisms of influence on the structure and mechanical properties of nickel is given. The possible impact of impurity phases on the properties of nickel is estimated. The tendency of changes in the mechanical properties of nickel, depending on the concentration of nanofibers, is shown.

The main aims and the objectives of the study focused on solving current problems of nanomaterial science of new materials – creating the scientific basis for competitive methods of obtaining and controlling new composite materials having improved strength properties based on carbon-containing polymer matrices with nanotubes stabilized in them. A technology for obtaining experimental samples of nanocompositional polymer material based on polymethylmethacrylate, polybutylmethacrylate, and methacrylic acid doped with carbon nanotubes has been developed, using ultrasonic action and mechanical mixing of the composite mixture to achieve the most uniform distribution of nanotubes in the matrix. To determine the possibility of implementing the mechanism of adsorption interaction of the studied polymer material with the surface of carbon nanotubes, DFT calculations of the interaction of the polymer material component and single-layer carbon nanotubes of various types have been done.

In the presented mainly experimental work, the regularities and mechanisms of ultrastructural transformation and changes in corneal metabolism under ultraviolet exposure are established. High-quality saturation of the stroma with riboflavin is necessary to perform safe and effective UV crosslinking of the cornea, which can be achieved mainly due to a sufficient area of de-epithelization (at least 8-9 mm). It was found that UV crosslinking of the cornea with the use of developed riboflavin solutions (Dextralink, Ribolink and Khitolink) as photosensitizers increases its strength properties associated with changes in the structural state of collagen fibrils. It is proved that the riboflavin-UV effect on the optical shell of the eyeball is caused by a short-term local increase in free radical processes, a decrease in the overall antioxidant status, and the absence of necrotic and significant inflammatory reactions. It is shown that the lack of riboflavin in the stroma forms a cascade of pathomorphological events of an irreversible nature, leading to the loss of the native structure of the cornea. On the basis of the conducted studies, the necessity of a differentiated approach to the use of riboflavin-containing solutions during ultraviolet crosslinking of the cornea is justified. Key words: ultraviolet corneal crosslinking, molecular-cellular mechanisms, photosensitizers, riboflavin.

The article presents the results of research on the microstructure and selected mechanical properties of HR6W nickel-base alloy. The test alloy was subjected to isothermal ageing at 700°C and for up to 10000h. The tests of the HR6W microstructure were performed using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The performed microstructural tests of the HR6W alloy showed that in the as-received condition it was characterised by the structure of nickel austenite with numerous primary precipitates of NbC and TiN. Ageing of the investigated alloy contributed to the precipitation of numerous particles of varying morphologies inside the grains and at the grain boundaries, as well as at the boundaries of twins - they were the secondary precipitates of M23C6 and Laves phase. The number of the particles precipitated at the boundaries was so large that they formed the so-called continuous grid of precipitates. Inside the grains, the presence of compound complexes of precipitates was observed. These complexes consisted of the TiN particles, as well as the M23C6 carbides and Laves phase nucleating on them. The tests of the mechanical properties of HR6W alloy showed that in the as-received condition the alloy showed high plastic properties, with relatively low strength properties - in particular, the yield strength. Ageing of the HR6W alloy, as a result of precipitation of numerous particles in the matrix, through the strengthening with the precipitation mechanism, resulted in a considerable growth of the strength properties - inter alia the yield strength by over 60%, with the reduction of the plastic properties - elongation decreased by around 40%. Similar growth in the test alloy was observed for hardness.

Abstract Low-density polyethylene (PE) containing nano-particulate clay was prepared after functionalization with maleic anhydride (MA) by reactive grafting in the presence of peroxide followed by blending of maleated PE with neat polymer in different concentrations. Four classes of composites were obtained: (i) exfoliated, (ii) intercalated, (iii) microcomposites, and (iv) intermediate of intercalated and microcomposites, as evidenced by wide-angle X-ray diffraction. All samples were kept for artificial UV irradiation (λ ≥ 290 nm) and for composting to study their photo- and bio-durability. Fourier-transform IR spectroscopy (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscopy were used to monitor the functional group and morphological changes, respectively, whereas biodurability was evaluated by measuring the weight loss. MA functionalization and nature of composites have detrimental effects on the overall durability of composites. Nanocomposites showed higher resistance than microcomposites during initial weathering and composting with a long induction period. The stability of nanocomposites decreases with time and overall durability was worse than of pristine polymer in both environments. It was concluded that the initial protection is due to the filler-generated long diffusion path, which decreases the oxygen diffusion through the matrix. The bio-durability of composites decreased with oxo-degradation. Biodegradation of PE nanocomposites during composting follows the mechanism described by Albertsson et al. as evidenced by FT-IR spectroscopy.

The article considers the problem of the effect of uneven curing caused by the temperature gradient across the thickness of the material on the anisotropy of the strength properties of polymer composite materials. The effect of catalysts on the curing of the epoxy binder EDT-69N, used for the manufacture of multilayer polymer composite materials, was studied. According to dielectric spectrometry, the accelerating effect of the selected compounds on the curing process of the EDT-69N epoxy binder during fiberglass molding has been proved. The possibility of controlling the curing process using catalysts to reduce the influence of the temperature gradient on the anisotropy of the strength properties of the matrix in the manufacture of polymer composite materials is shown.

A mechanical properties microprobe is an exciting concept. A system with the ability to evaluate the mechanical response of a sample with submicron spacial resolution would have an extremely wide range of applications. Recent developments in hardware and understanding have placed this goal within our grasp.In 1971, J.J.Gilman wrote the following in his article, “Hardness—A Strength Microprobe”:“Hardness measurements are at once among the most maligned and the most magnificent of physical measurements. Maligned because they are often misinterpreted by the uninitiated, and magnificent because they are so efficient in generating information for the skilled practitioner. They can quickly yield quantitative information about the elastic, anelastic, plastic, viscous, and fracture properties of a great variety of both isotropic and anisotropic solids. The tools that are used are simple and the sample sizes that are needed are typically small, sometimes submicroscopic. This makes it unnecessary to have large specimens in order to measure strength properties and makes it possible to measure the properties of various microscopic particles within the matrix phase of a polyphase metal, mineral, or ceramic material. This is why hardness may be considered to be a strength microprobe.”These statements are worth repeating for two reasons. First, they point out the largely untapped potential for microin-dentation tests to improve our understanding of the mechanical properties of materials. Second, it is the first mention of hardness tests in the context of a strength microprobe. In this article the more general term of microindentation tests will be used, since hardness is only one of many properties that can be measured with such tests. In addition, the term mechanical properties microprobe (MPM) will be used rather than strength microprobe-again, to note the wide variety of properties that can be measured.

Abstract Not for nothing it is said that "a good roof is priceless." Although it may lead to discussions, which roof is good, because there are a lot of requirements and criteria for the functional characterization. It must be understood that the roof structure defines the durability of the building as a unit, therefore it defines lifetime of other parts of the building and also the function of space that is covered by the roof. Therefore it is very important to pay particular attention to the design, as well as the realization of the roof structure. The aim of this publication is to judge the physical and technical parameters in the design of the roof coating module in a climatic chamber.
