The purpose of this work is to investigate the effects of copper (II) sulfate on formaldehyde release and the mechanical properties of urea formaldehyde (UF) adhesive. Copper (II) sulfate has been used as a formaldehyde scavenger in UF resin, and its effects on the physical and chemical properties of UF adhesive have been studied. Moreover, the mechanical properties and formaldehyde release of plywood prepared with modified UF resin have been determined. The UF resin has been characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). FTIR spectra showed that the addition of copper (II) sulfate to the UF resin did not affect the infrared (IR) absorptions of its functional groups, implying that the structure of UF was not modified. Further results showed that: the free formaldehyde content of the UF resin by the incorporation of 3% copper (II) sulfate was 0.13 wt.%, around 71% lower than that of the control UF adhesive. With a copper (II) sulfate content of 3%, the formaldehyde release from treated plywood was 0.74 mg·L−1, around 50% lower than that from the control UF adhesive, and the bonding strength reached 1.73 MPa, around 43% higher than that of the control UF adhesive.

Rapid expansion of technologies poses higher requirements to structural materials and items made of them. Conventional materials are being replaced by composite materials (composites). Different additives enhancing the properties of initial materials are used as reinforcement fibers of composites. Utilization of micro-and nanosize particles for production of present-day materials is paid much attention to. Whiskers are among such materials. These crystals have high strength, high chemical and temperature resistance. But for rational utilization of whickers of different chemical composition in composite materials one should know their physical and chemical properties. Objectives of the paper: to study physical and chemical properties of whiskers in different compounds, their composition and structure; to prove experimentally the feasibility of utilizing whiskers as a reinforcement fiber of composite materials. Object of study: specimens of whiskers of silicon nitride (Si3N4), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), aluminum nitride (AlN), and mullite (Al6Si2O13). Methods of investigation: thermal study of specimens, study of mechanical properties and chemical strength, and IR-spectroscopy. Results of study: specimens of whiskers have been studied and their mechanical properties have been tabulated for comparison. Extensive thermal investigation was followed by deduction of regularities and identification of chemical properties of whiskers. IR-spectra of whiskers have been studied and conclusions on molecular composition and on presence of impurities in some whiskers have been made.

Silk can be produced by spider or insect and have prospect as biomaterial for regenerative healing in medical treatment. Silk having physical and chemical properties that support biocompatibility in the living things..In this research, silk that was obtained from Indonesia natural resource of Attacus atlas silkmoth was explored and then will be  developed for biocompatible biomaterial. The treatment with NaOH was developed to separate the fiber from the cocoon. The obtained fiber is investigated its mechanical property by performing tensile test for single fiber. The biocompatibility testing was conducted with human cell (osteosarccoma) cultivation. The result identify that separation by using NaOH yield better better mechanical properties comparing konvenstional method with boiling in hot water. Biocompatibility testing indicate that the the fiber having good biocompatibility.

Fluidized fly ash has different physical and chemical properties compared to fly ash emerging from classic combustion. It contains amorphous phases resulting from a dehydration of clay minerals as well as unreacted sorbent of CaCO3, free CaO and anhydrite (CaSO4). Work targets the possibilities of production of an autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) from fluidized fly ash, and its influence on particular physical-mechanical properties of autoclaved aerated concrete.

Abstract Plasma polymers are micro-, or more commonly, nano-sized coatings that can be deposited on a variety of substrates through different approaches. The versatility of these polymers is incremented by the possibility to use other precursors than conventional polymerization reactions and by potential changes in the polymerization mechanisms according to the intrinsic physical and chemical properties of the plasma. That flexibility offers a fruitful ground to a great range of scientific and engineering fields, but it also brings many challenges for universalization of empirical observations. In this review, the use of different precursors, substrates and changes in plasma external parameters were evaluated as common, but not necessarily ideal nor exhaustive, variables for the analysis of mechanical properties of plasma polymer films. The commonly reported trends are complemented with the exceptions, and a variety of hypothesis drawn by the empirical observations are shown. The techniques and methods used for determining the mechanical properties of plasma polymers, the effect of post-treatments on them and some applications are evaluated. Finally, a general conclusion highlighting the challenges of the field is provided. Article highlights The mechanical properties of plasma polymers are evaluated as a function of selected parameters. The techniques of characterization of mechanical properties of plasma polymers are summarized. A discussion of future and current demands for the analysis of mechanical properties of plasma polymers is done.

The results showed that raw rubber from different tree strains had different physical and chemical properties, processing properties,andthe physical and mechanical properties of vulcanized rubber were different as well. Yunyan 75-11 had the highest mooney viscosity, Reyan 8-79 had the highest protein content, Zhanshi 218-6 had the best tensile and tearing strength, Yunyan 73-46 had small elastic modulus, large loss factor and good processing properties.

The purpose of this study was to assess the physical and mechanical properties of pavement concrete for rural roads of South Korea made with air-cooled slag aggregate, which is an industrial byproduct. This study assessed the physical and chemical properties according to the following performance requirements based on the design criteria of the Korea Ministry of Agriculture’s Agricultural Production Infrastructure Maintenance Business Plan and the Korea Expressway Corporation’s Highway Construction Specialized Specifications: slump of 80 mm or greater, air content of 4.5 ± 1.5%, compressive strength of at least 21 MPa, splitting tensile strength of at least 4.2 MPa, and a chloride penetration resistance of less than 4000 C. The slump, air content, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, and chloride ion permeability of the aggregate-containing concretes were measured. The air-cooled slag aggregates provided the necessary physical and chemical properties and presented no environmental issues. Furthermore, the slump and air content of concrete made with the aggregates met the target values. The slump decreased and the air content increased with increasing amounts of air-cooled slag aggregate. Mechanical testing of the concretes containing air-cooled slag aggregate established that they met the performance requirements for rural road pavement.

SA-213/SA-213M TP310HCbN (UNS S31042) has excellent creep properties. The superior creep strength of this alloy is achieved by precipitation of fine niobium based Z-phase. It is well established that niobium and tantalum have similar physical and chemical properties. We evaluated mechanical properties of tantalum added TP310HCbN, to investigate whether tantalum could be substitute for niobium. It is concluded that niobium can be replaced by tantalum in TP310HCbN.

ZrO2 ceramics have been widely used to many fields with its excellent physical and chemical properties, but the mechanical properties of YSZ ceramics, especially the fracture toughness, decline caused by the failure of the phase transformation toughening at high temperature. In this investigation, plate-like LaMgAl11O19 toughened ZrO2 ceramics were prepared by pressureless sintering at 1550 °C for 3h in air . The bulk density of the sintered samples are between 5.5 to 6.0 g/cm3, and the relative density are above 93%. The mechanical properties of the ZrO2-LaMgAl11O19 ceramics were studied systematically at room temperature. The flexure strength and fracture toughness of ZrO2-LaMgAl11O19 ceramic are 811.8 MPa and 13.9 MPa•m½ with the LMA addition of 2wt%.
