The paper presents the results of studies of the flow properties of viscous compositions consisting of polyvinyl alcohol, polymeric oil resin, and water. After a freeze-thaw cycle three-component cryogels are formed from them. Mechanical, thermal, physical, and chemical properties of the resulted elastic samples are studied. The prospects of using hydrophobic cryogels filled with polymeric oil resin as a binder component for road pavement construction are presented

AbstractNatural gypsum can degenerate into hemihydrate during cement clinker grinding which changes the physical and chemical properties of cement hydration, affecting therefore the fresh and hardened properties of cement based materials. Cement systems containing a constant total amount of calcium sulfate (4%) with relative proportions of hemihydrate and natural gypsum were considered. Rheological measurements were executed on an Anton Paar MCR51 rheometer to evaluate the flow properties of cement pastes. Results show that, the yield stress and the plastic viscosity of cement pastes were affected when the degeneration of natural gypsum exceeded 50%. Above this concentration, the yield stress remarkably increased and a variation in plastic viscosity of about 50% was observed. Using TG-DSC techniques, it was shown that, the amount of formed ettringite could not explain these rheological changes. However, centrifugational packing and SEM-SE measurements confirmed that, more than the amount of ettringite precipitated, ettringite morphology plays a major role in controlling the yield stress and plastic viscosity of fresh cement pastes.

The different ratios (PVA and SA) of PVA/SA blend films with cross-linking structure are successfully prepared by coagulating the mixture of sodium alginate (SA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in aqueous solution, then by treating with crosslinking agent CaCl2solution. The Surface morphology and flexibility of PVA/SA blend films were studied. The results indicate there is some strong interaction and good compatibility between sodium alginate and polyvinyl alcohol molecular. The physical and chemical properties of the PSA-80(PVA:SA=4:1) blend films are obviously improved owing to a molecular force and hydrogen bond interaction. The effects of parameters of the blend film was investigated in relation to its adsorption capability for low concentration ions Cr (VI) including such as SA content of the PVA/SA film, contact time, solution pH and temperature of solution. The results indicate that the maximum adsorption rate is 95.86% at the temperature 50°C under optimized pH 4 for 60min by PSA-80 films.

The purpose of this study was to assess the physical and mechanical properties of pavement concrete for rural roads of South Korea made with air-cooled slag aggregate, which is an industrial byproduct. This study assessed the physical and chemical properties according to the following performance requirements based on the design criteria of the Korea Ministry of Agriculture’s Agricultural Production Infrastructure Maintenance Business Plan and the Korea Expressway Corporation’s Highway Construction Specialized Specifications: slump of 80 mm or greater, air content of 4.5 ± 1.5%, compressive strength of at least 21 MPa, splitting tensile strength of at least 4.2 MPa, and a chloride penetration resistance of less than 4000 C. The slump, air content, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, and chloride ion permeability of the aggregate-containing concretes were measured. The air-cooled slag aggregates provided the necessary physical and chemical properties and presented no environmental issues. Furthermore, the slump and air content of concrete made with the aggregates met the target values. The slump decreased and the air content increased with increasing amounts of air-cooled slag aggregate. Mechanical testing of the concretes containing air-cooled slag aggregate established that they met the performance requirements for rural road pavement.

In connection with the spectrophotometric study of population-type characteristics of various kinds of stars, a statistical analysis of kinematical and distribution parameters of the same stars is performed at the Toruń Observatory. This has a twofold purpose: first, to provide a practical guide in selecting stars for observing programmes, second, to contribute to the understanding of relations existing between the physical and chemical properties of stars and their kinematics and distribution in the Galaxy.

Synthesis Of Materials

Biomimetics involves investigation of structure, function, and methods of synthesis of biological composite materials. The goal is to apply this information to the design and synthesis of materials for engineering applications.Properties of engineering materials are structure sensitive through the whole spectrum of dimensions from nanometer to macro scale. The goal in designing and processing of technological materials, therefore, is to control microstructural evolution at each of these dimensions so as to achieve predictable physical and chemical properties. Control at each successive level of dimension, however, is a major challenge as is the retention of integrity between successive levels. Engineering materials are rarely fabricated to achieve more than a few of the desired properties and the synthesis techniques usually involve high temperature or low pressure conditions that are energy inefficient and environmentally damaging.In contrast to human-made materials, organisms synthesize composites whose intricate structures are more controlled at each scale and hierarchical order.

Organic farming is one of the management strategies that improve productivity of marginal uplands. The study aimed to: (1) evaluate effects of various organic-based fertilizers on the growth and yield of corn; (2) determine the appropriate combination for optimum yield; and (3) assess changes on the soil physical and chemical properties. Experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design, with 3 replications and 7 treatments, namely; T0=(0-0-0); T1=1t ha-1 Evans + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T2=t ha-1 Wellgrow + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T3=15t ha-1 chicken dung; T4=10t ha-1 chicken dung + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1; T5=15t ha-1 Vermicast; and T6=10t ha-1 Vermicast + 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1. Application of organic-based fertilizers with or without inorganic fertilizers promoted growth of corn than the control. But due to high infestation of corn silk beetle(Monolepta bifasciata Horns), its grain yield was greatly affected. In the second cropping, except for Evans, any of these fertilizers applied alone or combined with 45-30-30kg N, P2O5, K2O ha-1 appeared appropriate in increasing corn earyield. Soil physical and chemical properties changed with addition of organic fertilizers. While bulk density decreased irrespective of treatments, pH, total N, available P and exchangeable K generally increased more with chicken dung application.
