The purpose of this work was to develop a modified polymeric composite mixture for the manufacture of the outer shell of a ship's cable operating under conditions of aggressive environment and increased fire hazard. The performed research resulted in the analysis of the basic polymeric composite mixtures. A complex of the most important technical and operational characteristics of the cable shell was formed. These characteristics are wear resistance, oil resistance and fire safety. On the basis of these assumptions a new polymer composition based on chloropolyethylene TYRIN CM 3630E with an increased oxygen index and improved physical and mechanical properties was developed. Modification of the mixture was carried out by increasing the mass fraction of flame-retardant additives and adding stabilizers to the mixture. Thanks to a balanced combination of technical and operational properties the use of the developed compound will increase the cable service life and operating time and will reduce the overall weight of the cable by using conductors of a smaller cross-section at a higher operating temperature.

It is proved that in order to increase the operational characteristics of parts of the river and sea transport, including their physical and mechanical properties, it is advisable to use the protective polymeric composite coatings. The effect of fillers on the flexural stresses of the developed epoxy composite was analyzed. The critical content of components was determined by the method of mathematical planning of the experiment: the synthesized powder mixture - 0.05 pts.wt., discrete fibers - 0.10 to 0.15 pts.wt. per 100 pts.wt. of epoxy oligomer ED-20. Introduction of such ingredients into the epoxy binder allows to increase the flexural stresses to σ f=77.4…78.6 MPa. The obtained results allow to create materials with improved values of physical and mechanical properties.

The paper presents the results of a study evaluating the effect of the addition of nanosized detonation diamond of the NA-SP brand on the characteristics of a filled polymer composition based on SKU PFL-100 prepolymer manufactured by Kazan Synthetic Rubber Plant JSC cured by 4,4'-methylene-bis-orthochloraniline. The scale of heterogeneity of the carbon powder was estimated. It is shown that the studied additive allows you to create a fairly dense and developed structure in a dispersion medium. The discussion of interfacial interaction at the nanodiamond – polyurethane interface is carried out, as well as the influence of the carbon nature of the filler particles. A possible chemical interaction between the functional groups of the prepolymer, hardener and particles of the studied additives is shown. The results of the experimental evaluation show that the combination of chemistry features (the presence of functional groups) and the mechanics of nanodiamond powder affects both the physical and mechanical properties of the filled polyurethane composition and its thermal stability. It was found that the introduction of up to 1% detonation diamond allows to increase the strength and stiffness of the polymer by approximately 2 times. As a result of the approximation of the experimental data, quadratic dependences of the physical and mechanical characteristics of the filled polyurethane system on the content of nanoscale diamonds in the range 0 - 1% (mass.) were obtained. The results of thermogravimetric analysis show that the introduction of 1% (mass.) detonation diamond powder can increase the temperature of destructive processes by about 20 °С. Anomalies in the dynamics of the process of dissociation of filled polyurethane are noted. It has been suggested that the introduction of detonation diamond leads to the initiation of secondary synthesis reactions with the formation of allophate and biuret groups with low temperature stability.

Abstract This study presents the results of research concerning fabrication of nonwovens from biodegradable polymer blends using the melt-blown method. The experiments performed within the framework of the research confirmed the possibility of obtaining polymer composites based on polylactide (PLA) with poly(hydroxyalkanoates) (PHA) and another aliphatic-aromatic copolyester. The obtained products were subjected to the analyses of chemical structure using the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy(FTIR) Attenuated Total Reflectance(ATR) method. The physical and mechanical properties of the fabricated nonwoven layers were also tested, which confirmed a wide spectrum of their applicability, depending on the polymer composition used in production.

We present and demonstrate the application of a systematic methodology for predicting fire spread and growth and for a relative fire hazard classification of materials for any scale and fire environment. This methodol ogy consists of three steps: (1) select laboratory test methods to perform flam mability measurements; (2) based on these measurements, obtain key flamma bility material properties which are precisely defined in this work; and (3) use these properties in a mathematical model of fire spread and growth to predict fire hazards. The complementary test methods we have selected and used are: (a) a general flammability test apparatus (such as NIST or FMRC) [1,2] modified to also provide pyrolysis measurements in an inert N2 atmosphere; (b) the Limited Oxygen Index (LOI) apparatus, which is used here as a tool for ob taining properties needed for creeping flame spread and extinction, including vitiated environments; and (c) a solid material smoke-point height apparatus [8], which is used to characterize the smokiness of the burning material needed to determine the radiation and smoke yield for arbitrary fire situations (wall fires, pool fires or ceiling fires) [8]. The use and proper interpretation of the Limited Oxygen Index apparatus can replace the LIFT [10] apparatus for deter mining in a more accurate and direct way the material properties required for creeping (vertical downward, lateral, horizontal) flame spread. The present methodology has been compared well with experiments in this work and else where [9], and it has been used to predict critical conditions for fire spread [11], not empirically as it is usually done, but based on first principles of fire spread, fire growth and burning, together with material flammability properties syste matically deduced from small-scale test measurements.

Biodegradable Foam (Biofoam) production is an effort to reduce plastic waste in Indonesia. This product is made to replace Styrofoam, whose raw material is carcinogenic in the form of styrene which cannot be dissolved by the digestive system and is difficult to excrete through urine or feces which can trigger the growth of cancer in the long term and is harmful to the environment. Biofoam in this study is made from cornstarch with the addition of cellulose taken from paper waste. Based on the research that has been done, cornstarch-based biofoam with the addition of cellulose from paper waste as a biofiller can affect the physical and mechanical characteristics of the biofoam produced. The biofoam with a starch:cellulose ratio of 13:10 grams resulted in the best value of water adsorption in the amount 47.26%, also give the best result on tensile strength value and biodegradability value in the amount of 4.548 MPa and 11.943%. The addition of cellulose to the biofoam mixture in an appropriate amount will reduce the water absorption value of the biofoam. Because cellulose can cover the cavities generated by the starch expansion process in the biofoam. Therefore, the addition of cellulose also affects the mechanical properties of biofoam, namely tensile strength. Where the low filler composition in the biofoam will increase the tensile strength, but when the filler composition has passed an optimum point, the filler particles will experience agglomeration thereby reducing the tensile strength of the biofoam product. The variation in operating conditions in the manufacture of starch-based biofoam with the addition of a biofiller in the form of cellulose from paper waste did not significantly affect it. The variation in operating conditions only affects the visual appearance of the biofoam produced. Biofoam samples with the best visual appearance were produced at an operating temperature of 160 ? with an operating time of 30 minutes. Where high temperatures can affect th

The use of fertilizers and solid amendments in agriculture generates special interest for their effect on crop productivity, as well as for their environmental impact. The efficient use of these products demands knowing their physical and mechanical properties, the storing conditions effect and the operational characteristics of the metering systems used in the fertilizing equipment. In this context, the present study was developed with the purpose of evaluating the operational characteristics of different fertilizing metering systems and to determine the adequate metering system-product operational parameters, using powder lime, powder gypsum, granular 10-30-10 (N-P-K), and granular urea. Operational differences were established among four types of commercial fertilizer metering systems, including wire auger, star-shaped feed wheel, feed screw and ridged traction wheel. The study found that the unloading rate depends directly on the fertilizer metering system's rotating speed and is affected by particle size, repose angle, bulk density and moisture content of the applied product. The wire auger and star-shaped feed wheel metering systems were adequate for the distribution of powder products and the feed screw for granulated fertilizers. Furthermore, theoretical and experimental characteristic equations were established, defining curves for calibration and handling of the products plus the rotating speed range in which a better distributing behavior was achieved.

It is shown that a highly-efficient chemical activation of the cement-containing composite mixture with the help of a new generation nanostructural additive makes it possible to develop high-strength finegrained and heavy-weight concretes with the improved strength and deformation characteristics. The recommended nanostructural additive has an increased triple effect: reactive, catalytic, and plasticizing. The use of the proposed additive many times increases the hydration activity of the hardening system, exerting a double energy effect on it, chemical and thermal, thus making it possible to develop the composite building material of a new level of physical and mechanical properties.

A novel diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM) modified ammonium polyphosphate (APP) flame retardant, DDP, was successfully synthesized via ion-exchange reaction. DDP was introduced into epoxy resins (EPs) to reduce flammability. A comparable level of DDP exerts better flame-retardant and smoke suppression efficiencies in EP than APP. An EP blend containing 15 wt% DDP displays a limiting oxygen index (LOI) value of 37.1% and a UL 94 V-0 rating, and further exhibits a 32.3% reduction in total heat release and a 48.0% reduction in total smoke production compared with pure EP. The presence of DDP greatly facilitates char formation during combustion, and the char mass from thermal decomposition of an EP blend is 37.8% smaller than that of an EP blend containing 15 wt% DDP at 800 °C. The incorporation of DDP into EP blends has a smaller impact on the glass transition temperature and tensile strength than those of a comparable level of APP. This reflects the better compatibility of DDP with the EP matrix compared with that for APP.
