The plant environment in the production of Achachairu (Garcinia humilis) seedlings aims to obtain quality plants for orchards' formation. The present study aimed to evaluate reflective materials on benches and fruit seeds harvested from different plant positions to produce Achachairu seedlings. The reflective materials used under the cultivation benches were aluminum foil, "fake sequin" fabric, mirror, and tetra pak®. The fruit collection positions in the plants were at the top, median and bottom. The largest seedlings were obtained on the bench with reflective material of Tetra Pak®; however, in this material, there was a greater relationship between the height and diameter of the seedlings' neck, which is not desired for quality seedlings. The largest number of sheets was observed on the benches with reflective material of Tetra Pak® and "false sequin" fabric. The lowest dry masses of the root system and the lowest Dickson quality indexes were obtained from seedlings grown on the bench with reflective mirror material, forming lesser quality seedlings. The fruit collection place in the matrix plant did not influence the seedlings' quality. The use of reflective material on the bench is not recommended for the cultivation of Achachairu seedlings.

Abstract Quasicrystalline phases improve many alloy properties such as thermomechanical stability, thermal and electrical conductivity, and tribological performance. High hardness, however, is accompanied by brittleness, an undesired property in many applications. Reduced brittleness can be achieved by embedding quasicrystalline phases in a more ductile material, forming a metal-matrix composite that retains some quasicrystalline properties. This study evaluates thermally sprayed coatings made from different compositions of such composites. The coatings assessed were produced by arc-wire, HVOF, and atmospheric plasma spraying using various forms of feed material, including blended, agglomerated, chemical encased, and attrition-milled powders and filled wires. The investigation involved metallurgical analysis, proving the existence of quasicrystal content and assessing the matrix phase, and tests showing how sliding wear is influenced by the composition of quasicrystalline phases.

Рассмотрены основные виды реторт-упаковки, полимерные и комбинированные материалы, применяемые для ее изготовления. С учетом области применения такой упаковки к ней применяются определенные требования: устойчивость к стерилизации при температуре не ниже 120 °С, паро- и влагонепроницаемость, химическая инертность к консервируемым продуктам, герметичность, низкая газопроницаемость. Для придания реторт-упаковке требуемых свойств ее изготавливают из многослойных полимерных или комбинированных материалов, каждый из слоев которого выполняет определенные функции. В качестве внешних слоев чаще всего используют полипропилен или полиэтилентерефталат, так как эти полимерные материалы термически и химически устойчивы, паро- и влагонепроницаемы. В качестве серединного слоя используют материалы, являющиеся барьерами для газов - алюминиевую фольгу, металлизированные пленки, этиленвиниловый спирт, полиамид. Для изготовления таких материалов и упаковки применяют соэкструзию полимеров, многослойное литье под давлением или ламинирование. Благодаря барьерным свойствам полимерных и комбинированных материалов по отношению к кислороду реторт-упаковка обеспечивает сроки годности консервированной продукции до 5 лет. Это сравнимо с консервами в традиционной упаковке, что позволяет рассматривать реторт-упаковку из полимерных и комбинированных материалов в качестве альтернативы стеклянной и металлической упаковке. В розничной продаже консервы в реторт-упаковке из полимерных и комбинированных материалов представлены в основном мясными паштетами, пюреобразными консервами для детского питания, соусами и кетчупами, а также влажными кормами для животных. В реторт-упаковке также выпускают тушеное мясо, первые и вторые обеденные блюда, консервированный сыр, некоторые виды фруктовых и овощных консервов, но это в основном продукция для спецконтингента (например, военнослужащие, космонавты). This article describes the main types of retortable package, polymer and combined materials used for its. Taking into account the application of such package, certain requirements apply to it: resistance to sterilization at a temperature of not less than 120 °C, vapor and moisture resistance, chemical inertia to canned products, leakproofness, low gas permeability. To give the retort packaging the required properties, it is made of multilayer polymer or combined materials, each of the layers of which performs certain functions. As the outer layers, polypropylene or polyethylene terephthalate is most often used, since these polymer materials are thermally and chemically stable, vapor and moisture-proof. As the middle layer, materials that are barriers to gases are used aluminum foil, metallized films, ethylene vinyl alcohol, polyamide. For the manufacture of such materials and package, polymer co-extrusion, multi-layer injection molding or lamination are used. Due to the barrier properties of polymer and combine materials in relation to oxygen, retortable packaging provides shelf life of canned products up to 3 years. This is comparable to canned food in traditional package, which allows us to consider retortable package made of polymer and combined materials as an alternative to glass and metal packaging. In retail sales, canned food in retortable package made of polymer and combined materials is mainly represented by meat pates, canned puree for baby food, sauces and ketchups, as well as wet animal feed. The retortable packaging also produces stewed meat, dinner dishes, canned cheese, some types of fruit and vegetable canned food, but these are mainly products for special contractors (for example, military personnel, astronauts).

This paper presents the investigation of composite materials lamination using different materials in the structure of lamination. The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the behaviour of characteristics in composite materials subjected to difference of fatigue loading, leading to understand the criteria that influence the behaviour of composite lamination structure. Therefore, in this research, the orientation of lamination structure used is 00/900and the material selected for the study were chopped strand mat (csm) and woven roving fabric (wr) as a reinforcement and the matrix used were polyester and epoxy resin. The composite lamination structure was produced using hand lay-up technique. The fatigue condition experiment of composite materials in this research was carried under tension-tension loading. With difference in fatigue loading condition, the lifetime of composite structure will be different and the cracking phenomenon in the structure will also be different. It is suggested that, different number of lamination and amount of reinforcement and matrix, produce a variety of materials characteristic with respect to elasticity of material. An implication of the study in this research showed various behaviour of composite materials with different materials used and it showed a difference phenomenon in comparison to metalic materials.

Materials play an important role in the fast breeder reactors.  Materials used in cladding tube and fuel pins should have better creep and void swelling resistance. To overcome these difficulties, a new class of material known as oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels are used. There are two groups of ODS steels, the ferritic and the austenitic ODS steels based on the matrix. The present paper reviews the current status of research in austenitic ODS steels. The interaction of dislocations with finely dispersed incoherent, hard particles that governs the strength and high temperature properties of ODS materials is briefly reviewed. The synthesis route adopted for these ODS steels, which is mostly through powder metallurgy route is also discussed. The role of various oxides such as Y2O3, ZrO2and TiO2and the clusters formed in these ODS steels on the mechanical properties and void swelling characteristics is also discussed.

In aluminum foil rolling, the secondary particles may lead to stress concentration at the boundary between these particles and the matrix. Different types of particles would result in stress concentration at different levels. The three dimensional finite element modeling (3D-FEM) was used to simulate the effect of the particles with different hardness on mechanical properties of the matrix of AA1235 aluminum foils in its foil rolling process. The hardness ratio was used to evaluate the mechanical property of foils. It has been found that when the hardness ratio of the particle was similar to that of the matrix (R=1), the interaction mechanism of the dislocations with the particle was dislocation cutting way. When the hardness ratio of the particle to the matrix increased from 1 to 6, the interaction mechanism of the particle with the matrix changed from the dislocation cutting way to the Orowan dislocation bypass way. When the hardness ratio increased to as high as 6, dislocation interacted with the particle only by the Orowan dislocation bypass way.

This paper focuses on the characteristic study of polymer matrix composites using a statistical approach, in terms of difference experimental and reflected to difference stacking sequence and orientation of composite lamination. Composite material, have an excellent characteristic and behavior, but with a difference application and materials used, it have a difference phenomenon occurred before the composite structure are collapsed. Therefore, in order to understand the characteristic of polymer matrix composites, it needs to investigate the phenomenon that influences the structure of composite lamination before failures. In this research, polymer matrix composites are produced using difference material and stacking sequence of lamination. The matrix used is thermoset epoxy and polyester resin with chopped strand mat (CSM) and woven roving (WR) as reinforcement materials. It has been produced using hand lay-up technique. The experimental work is carried out using the tension and flexural test accordance to ASTM-D3039 and D-D790 standard. By using a statistical approach, it can clearly show the differential between materials used with a characteristic of composite materials. It is noted, based on this investigation it also showed difference phenomenon failures and damage structure of polymer matrix composites with difference type of experimental.

NiMnCoIn alloys are new-type magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs) in which a reversible magnetic-field-induced phase transformation was observed. They are ideal candidates of materials used in actuators and sensors. The polycrystalline NiMnCoIn alloys are generally brittle so that they can not be easily deformed into the shape applicable to actuators and sensors until now. In the present paper, the influence of hot deformation on the microstructure of Ni45Co5Mn36.7In13.3alloy was studied. The experimental results showed that second phase was observed after deformation at high temperature between 800~900 °C and at strain rate lower than 4×10-3s-1. The content of Co of second phase was higher than the matrix alloy, while the content of In was lower than the matrix alloy. It was determined by TEM measurements as γ phase with fcc structure which was popular in NiFeGa and NiMnGaCo alloys. It is possible to improve the ductility of Ni45Co5Mn36.7In13.3alloy by control of amount and distribution of γ phase by hot deformation.

This paper presents data on the development of polymer composite materials based on thermoplastic elastomers. As starting materials for the synthesis of the matrix components were selected as follows: isotactic polypropylene and ternary ethylene-propylene-diene elastomer (EPDM). Diene component in EPDM are ethylidene norbornene composition in an amount of 4-5%. Dynamic vulcanization was carried out using the elastomer element sulfur. The filler polymer composite materials used silica gel with dimethyl polysiloxane. Synthesis was carried out by filling the sol-gel technology. The filler content in the composite varied from 10 to 80% by weight. Mixing of filler and the matrix was performed in a laboratory twin-rotor mixer, type "Brabender". It is found that the maximum possible filler content of the matrix used was 80%. With the introduction of more filler mixing of the components it has been difficult. When the filler content from 10 to 70% of parameters such as tensile strength, flexural strength and modulus of longitudinal elasticity increasing and administered at higher filler and 80 wt%. markedly reduced. Thus, it can be concluded that the content of filler in the composite is 70%. Further research should be directed to the evaluation of the radiation resistance of the developed composite materials.

The aim of this study is to analyze the thermal properties of sago fiber-epoxy composite. The sago fiber-based composite has been prepared using epoxy resin as the matrix, via a simple mixing followed by compression. The compression process includes hot compression (100 °C/10 kgf cm−2) and cold compression (ambient/10 kgf cm−2). The composite series was prepared with 9%, 13%, 17%, 20%, and 23% (w/w) of epoxy resin. Microstructures of all materials used were observed using an SEM (scanning electron microscope) instrument. The thermal properties of the composite and its components were examined through TG/DTA characterization. The samples were heated using the heating rate of 10 °C/min from room temperature to 400 °C, except for epoxy resin, which was heated to 530 °C. TG/DTA results depict three stages of thermal processes of sago fiber-epoxy composite: evaporation of water molecules at below 100 °C with the peak point within the range of 51.3 and 57.3 °C, the damage of sago fiber within the range of 275 and 370 °C with the peak point within the range of 333.3 and 341.3 °C and the damage of epoxy resin at above 350 °C with the peak point at 376.2 °C.

Matrix tablet is an important tool for controlled and sustained release dosage forms. The oral route remains the most common route for the administration of drugs. Tablets offer the lowest cost approach to sustained and controlled release dosage forms. The hydrophilic polymer matrix is widely used in this dosage form. The use of different polymers in controlling the release of drugs has become the most important tool in the formulation of matrix tablets. The drug releases by both dissolution-controlled as well as diffusion-controlled mechanisms from the matrix. The development of oral controlled release systems has been a challenge to formulation scientists due to their inability to restrain and localize the system at targeted areas of the gastrointestinal tract. There are several advantages of matrix devices including improved patient compliance due to less frequent drug administration, reduction of fluctuation in steady-state drug levels, maximum utilization of the drug, increased safety margin of a potent drug. This review aims on the discussion of different materials used to prepare matrix tablets, different types of matrix tablets and the drug release mechanism from the matrices.
