The efficiency of using different oxidizing agents to intensify the burnout of the organic component of ceramic masses is investigated. The ceramic masses contained coal flotation wastes with a high carbon content as a fuel-mineral additive. Various inorganic salts, which are oxygen donors during the firing of ceramic masses and form oxidizing agents O2, NO2, N2O during their thermal decomposition, are considered. A new calculation method for determining the content of an oxidizing salt in a ceramic mixture is proposed. This method takes as a basis the amount of «effective oxygen» that released during the thermal decomposition of the oxidizing agent, but not its mass, as it was before. The method allows calculating the rational content of an oxidizing agent necessary for efficient combustion of the carbon component of fuel-mineral additives. When calculating, it is necessary to take into the composition of the organic part of the additive, its content in the ceramic mass and the degree of carbon oxidation. Calculation of the rational content of the oxidizing agent according to this method allows avoiding its excessive and economically unreasonable use. The effect of oxidizing agents and their combinations on the burnout of the carbon component and the firing properties of the masses for wall ceramics is studied. The masses contained 15 % of coal flotation waste with a carbon content of 29 %. It was found that the use of oxidizing agents accelerates the burnout of the organic part of the masses, improves the appearance and mechanical properties of ceramic samples. The use of combined oxidizing agents with different decomposition temperatures makes it possible to create an oxidizing medium in a wider temperature range. This positively effects on the mechanical properties of ceramics. The optimal combinations of oxidizing agents NH4NO3+Ca(NO3)2 і NH4NO3+NaNO3, which made it possible to obtain ceramic samples with a compressive strength 10 МПа, were determined. This mechanical strength meets the requirements of the State Standard of Ukraine B M.2.7-61: 2008 in part of ordinary brick of the M100 brand.

The mechanical properties and microstructure formation processes in Si3N4+3% AI2O3+5% Y2O3(Yb2O3) ceramic compacts sintered under microwave heating (MWH) and under traditional heating (TH) were investigated. The initial ceramic materials were powder blends of silicon nitride with oxides. The mean powder particle sizes were 0.5-1.0 mim. The content of alfa-phase in the Si3N4 powder was more than 95 %. The samples were sintered at 1800BC in nitrogen at normal pressure, the heating rate in all experiments was 60BC/min. The Vickers hardness (HV), fracture toughness (K1C) and bending strength (on) were determined. The microstructures of fracture surfaces of samples were studied by SEM. Quantitative microstructure analysis was carried out. It was shown that the values of HV and Kic of ceramic samples sintered under MWH at 1800BC rose steadily with the sintering time. This caused an increase in density, which reached maximum as fast as after 30 min of the MWH sintering; the mass loss at that time amounted to 3-4 %. The porosity of sintered samples with an addition of yttria was less than 1 %, that of ytterbia was greater, 2.4 %. For similar values of relative density, the hardness and fracture toughness of ceramic samples produced under MWH were higher as compared with those of samples sintered under TH. The microstructure of samples had the form of elongated grains in a matrix of polyhedral grains of the beta-Si3N4 phase. Measurements showed the mean size of grains in samples produced by MWH to be greater that in samples produced by TH. A larger number of elongated grains were formed. It was concluded that for sintering under MWH of Si3N4-based ceramics the growth of elongated beta-Si3N4 grains and formation of a "reinforced" microstructure were promoted and thereby improved the mechanical properties of such ceramics.

At present, the research on the high temperature degradation of concrete usually focuses on only the degradation of concrete itself without considering the effect of the plastering layer. It is necessary to take into account the influence of the plastering layer on the high temperature degradation of concrete. With an increase in the water/cement ratio, the explosion of concrete disappeared. Although increasing the water/cement ratio can alleviate the cracking of concrete due to lower pressure, it leads to a decrease in the mechanical properties of concrete after heating. It is proved that besides the water/cement ratio, the apparent phenomena and mechanical properties of concrete at high temperature can be affected by the plastering layer. The plastering layer can relieve the high temperature cracking of concrete, and even inhibit the high temperature explosion of concrete with 0.30 water/cement ratio. By means of an XRD test, scanning electron microscope test and thermogravimetric analysis, it is found that the plastering layer can promote the rehydration of unhydrated cement particles of 0.30 water/cement ratio concrete at high temperature and then promote the mechanical properties of concrete at 400 °C. However, the plastering layer accelerated the thermal decomposition of C-S-H gel of concrete with a water/cement ratio of 0.40 at high temperature, and finally accelerate the decline of mechanical property of concrete. To conclude, the low water/cement ratio and plastering layer can delay the deterioration of concrete at high temperature.

Purpose This study aims to focus on the effect of interlayer bonding and thermal decomposition on the mechanical properties of fused filament fabrication-printed polylactic acid specimens at high extrusion temperatures. Design/methodology/approach A printing process, that is simultaneous manufacturing of contour and specimen, is used to improve the printing accuracy at high extrusion temperatures. The effects of the extrusion temperature on the mechanical properties of the interlayer and intra-layer are evaluated via tensile experiments. In addition, the microstructure evolution affected by the extrusion temperature is observed using scanning electron microscopy. Findings The results show that the extrusion temperature can effectively improve the interlayer bonding property; however, the mechanical properties of the specimen for extrusion temperatures higher than 270°C may worsen owing to the thermal decomposition of the polylactic acid (PLA) material. The optimum extrusion temperature of PLA material in the three-dimensional (3D) printing process is recommended to be 250–270°C. Originality/value A temperature-compensated constitutive model for 3D printed PLA material under different extrusion temperatures is proposed. The present work facilitates the prediction of the mechanical properties of specimens at an extrusion temperature for different printing temperatures and different layers.

Abstract Experiments have been carried out to determine the chemical reactions that occur when Butyl rubber is vulcanized by quinone dioxime or related compounds. Observations have been made of the reactions of these substances with simple olefins, and of the effect of oxidizing agents on the dioxime-type of vulcanization of Butyl in solution. The theory is proposed that, in the vulcanization of Butyl by quinone dioxime or its esters, in presence of oxidizing agents, the active agent is p-dinitrosobenzene formed by oxidation of the dioxime. Chemical reactions are suggested for the subsequent cross-linking or vulcanizing steps, and the results of confirmatory experiments are presented. p-Dinitrosobenzene and other polynitroso compounds are active vulcanizing agents for Butyl, natural rubber, Buna-S, Buna-N, and Neoprene, and do not require the addition of an oxidizing agent. It is suggested that vulcanization of natural rubber by polynitro compounds involves their reduction to corresponding nitroso compounds as the first step, and that the nitroso group adds to rubber to produce cross-linkages.

In the paper, the influence of mullite wool waste additive on the properties of building ceramics is analysed. For that purpose four formation masses were prepared, dried and fired at the analogous regimes (maximum firing temperature 1080 °C). The fired samples were used to determine the structural and physical-mechanical properties. The values of these parameters are analysed: water absorption, total and effective porosity, rate of capillary mass flow, reserve of porous volume, compressive strength, density and estimated exploitation frost resistance. It has been determined that mullite wool waste can be applied to the production of building ceramics and the optimum quantity of waste in a formation mass is 10 % according to weight. Water absorption of those ceramic samples was less than 4 %, compressive strength was 28.6 MPa, density - 2033 kg/m3, forecasted resistance to frost about 400 cycles.http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.ms.17.1.255

This research reports the physical and mechanical properties of (1-x) Bi0.5(Na0.81K0.19)0.5TiO3-xKNbO3 (x=0.00-0.06) ceramics. The Modified Bi0.5(Na0.81K0.19)0.5TiO3 ceramics were synthesized by solid state reaction technique. The mixed oxides powders were calcined at 850 °C, 4 h and sintered at 1120 °C, 2 h to form pure phase perovskite and the optimum bulk density, respectively. The phase formation of the modified ceramic samples was determined by X-ray diffraction technique. All of the modified Bi0.5(Na0.81K0.19)0.5TiO3 ceramics exhibited a single perovskite phase. The bulk densities of the modified ceramic samples were 5.41±0.27-5.75±0.28 g/cm3 using the Archimedes’ method. The microstructure was revealed by the scanning electron microscope. The rectangular-like shape was found of all studied ceramics which had the grain size between 1.31±0.02-1.56±0.03 mm. The mechanical properties were studied by both Vickers and Knoop microhardness tester. The results are discussed in term of the relation among hardness properties, Young’s modulus, and fracture toughness.
