The aim of the work was to study the effect of bis-(triethoxysilylpropyl)-tetrasulfide (TESPT) mixed with carbon black N330 in a ratio of 1:1, as a technical product OFS 6945 on the structure and properties of rubber mixtures and rubbers based on ethylene propylene rubber of the brand Vistalon 2504N and silica filler (KKN) of the brand Rosil-175, taken at a dosage of 30 wt. h. per 100 wt.h. rubber. The content of TESPT was 0.035, 0.050 and 0.070 mmol / 100 g of rubber. A group of vulcanizing agents included sulphur, thiuram, captax, zinc oxide and technical stearin. Rubber mixtures were prepared on rollers Lb 320 160/160. Organosilane was injected into rubber at the same time as Rosil-175. The homogeneity of the filler distribution in the finished mixtures was evaluated based on the results of testing samples on the RPA-2000 vibrorheometer. Vulcanization characteristics were determined using an MDR-2000 device. The structure of mixtures and rubbers was studied by the method of equal swelling of samples in toluene. It is shown that with the increasing content of TESPT, the proportion of bound rubber in a three-component mixture of the rubber – filler – organosilane increases due to the formation of interfacial connections. The uniformity of distribution of silica fillers in rubber matrix also increases. Workability of the mixtures on roller equipment improves. The rate of cross-linking in the core period and the degree of cross-linking of macromolecules at the same time curing increase as well. As a result, the elastic-strength properties of rubbers determined in the static test mode are improved, the best complex of which is provided with an organosilane content of 0.050 mmol/100 g of rubber.

Coatings based on pigment and polymer binders are applied on paper surfaces to improve their surface, optical, and printing properties. Besides the coating composition, the structure and properties of the coated papers are influenced by the coating layer consolidation upon drying. In this study, the influence of drying conditions on the structure and properties of coating layers based on natural pigments (clay) and polymer binders (butadiene acrylonitrile latex) has been analyzed. Using a laboratory rod Mayer device, the coatings were applied as thin layer (about 15–16 g/m2) on the paper surface and samples of coated paper were dried at 20 and 105 °C temperatures. The optical, structural, and water absorption properties of the coating layer were evaluated by the measurement of gloss, opacity, void fraction, light scattering, and contact angle. The obtained results highlighted that both the drying temperature and latex content in the coating color have a synergic effect on the coated paper quality.

Tension wood (TW) is an abnormal tissue of hardwood trees; although it has been isolated from most parts of the tree, it is frequently found on the upper side of branches and leaning stems. TW has been classically associated with geotropic alignment, but more recently it has been associated with fast growth. Paper made from TW is generally lower in strength properties. Consequently, the paper industries' growing dependence on fast growing, short- rotation trees will result in higher amounts of TW in the final product and a corresponding reduction in strength.Relatively few studies have dealt with the role of TW in the structure of paper. It was suggested that the lower strength properties of TW were due to a combination of factors, namely, its unique morphology, compression failures in the cell wall, and lower hemicellulose content. Central to the unique morphology of the TW fiber is the thick gelatinous layer (G-layer) composed almost entirely of pure cellulose.

Addition of interstitial elements to γ-TiAl alloys is currently being explored as a method for improving the properties of these alloys. Previous work in which a number of interstitial elements were studied showed that boron was particularly effective in refining the grain size in castings, and led to enhanced strength while maintaining reasonable ductility. Other investigators have shown that B in γ-TiAl alloys tends to promote the formation of TiB2 as a second phase. In this study, the microstructure of Bcontaining TiAl alloys was examined in detail in order to describe the mechanism by which B alters the structure and properties of these alloys.
