Agricultural waste materials are generated in large quantities in Brazil. These can accumulate and cause serious environmental problems. One of the most commonly generated wastes in the brazilian agricultural culture is the maize cob. Being lignocellulosic in nature, the maize cob can find use as the raw material in the production of particleboards mainly concerned with furniture making. Therefore, studies regarding its thermal stability and fire resistance would be interesting. The aim of this study was to evaluate the combustibility and thermal stability of the particleboards produced from maize cob and Pinus oocarpa wood. The percentages in which maize cob was associated with Pinus oocarpa were 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. The panels were produced using 8% urea-formaldehyde and 1% paraffin. The pressing cycle parameters included: temperature 150 °C, pressure of 3.92 MPa during 10 min. The combustibility curve analysis showed that the panels containing 25% content of maize cob had higher resistance to combustion. In general, the thermal stability decreased as the wood substitution by maize cob increased.

AbstractAnnealing behavior of Au, AuZn, and AuSb metallization on GaSb have been investigated by the combined use of RBS, XRD, TEM, and I-V characterization. The results give evidence that the thermally activated contact reaction strongly depends on the particular elements incorporated in the Au layer. Pure Au reacts with GaSb at 100°C. The addition of Zn to Au metallization increases the thermal stability of the metallization/semiconductor system to 200°C. Antimony, forming with gold the AuSb2 phase in metallization, provides the most stable ohmic contact system.

Renewable polymer made from renewable material is one of the most important groups of polymer because of their versatility and they can be manufactured in a wide range of insulation and automotive application. In this project, renewable polymer based on waste vegetable oil were synthesized and crosslink with commercial polymethane polyphenyl isocyanate. The renewable polymer foam (RPF) was compressed by using hot compression moulding technique at 90 oC based on the evaporation of volatile matter and known as compressed renewable polymer (CRP). The thermal degradation and activation energy of RPF and CRP samples is consistant with the increasing of UV irradiation time at the first degradation, second degradation and third degradation. This is due to thermal stability of samples at the hard segment has a great influence on the thermal stability of soft segment. A higher thermal stability of hard segment leads to a higher degradation temperature of soft segment.

ABSTRACTHigh quality copper thin films have been obtained by low pressure thermally-activated chemical vapour deposition from two different Cu(II) metalorganic precursors, (a) bis(dipivaloyl-methanato) Cu (II) or Cu(dpm)2 and (b) bis(t-butylaceto acetato)Cu(II) or Cu(tbaoac)2, the latter synthesised with a view to reducing the deposition temperature. A comparative study of the volatility and thermal stability of the two precursors, as well as of the growth and microstructure of copper films from these two precursors, is presented.While the threshold deposition temperature is significantly lower for Cu(tbaoac)2 compared to Cu(dpm)2, the growth rate is considerably higher with Cu(dpm)2-Films obtained from Cu(tbaoac)2 are denser and of lower resistivity at a given thickness compared to those from Cu(dpm)2, and are also smoother, exhibiting mirror-like reflectivity.
