The curing rate of epoxy/Versamid 125 (V125) by heating curing, room-temperature curing and microwave curing was compared. It is founded that applying microwave technology could effectively improve the curing rate and the curing time is only 3-4minutes. 140W microwave could cure the epoxy system in good condition, but 280W and 420W were easy to make the materials coking. The impact of diluent on mechnical properties of curing product were studied and it is showed that the impact strength increases and the impact ductility will be improved with the content of diluent increases, while the compressing strength, bending strength and tensile strength decrease.

The epoxy resin was modified with the mixture of α,ω-dihydroxy poly-(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl) siloxane (PTFPMS), KH560 and stannous octoate. KH560 can react with PTFPMS and also epoxy resin curing agent. The two reactions were characterized by FI-IR. The modified epoxy resin was characterized by FI-IR. The result showed that fluorine-containing silicone had been successfully introduced into the epoxy system. The mechanical and thermal properties of the modified epoxy resin were analyzed. The results showed that with the increase of PTFPMS the impact strength of epoxy resin increased, hardness and bending strength correspondingly reduced, slight decrease in the glass transition temperature.

The article presents laboratory tests on the impact of the mixing water content used in the preparation of fresh mortar on the flexural and compressive strength of one of the dry-mix mortars produced by a leading European producer and dedicated to bricklaying with clinker elements. The development of these parameters in relation to curing time was also analyzed. The mortar samples were prepared from a factory-made mortar mix using 4.0 L (the value recommended by the mortar manufacturer), 4.5 L, and 5 L of water per 25 kg bag of ready-made, pre-mixed dry mortar mix. All samples were tested in five series after 5, 9, 14, 21, and 28 days of sample curing. The results of these tests showed that the use of 6 and 18% more mixing water than recommended by the manufacturer (4.5 and 5 L per bag) adversely affected the basic mechanical parameters of the tested mortar. Moreover, it was found that the highest compressive strength values were obtained after 21 days of curing and not after 28 days as usual. It was also found that hardening time and higher than recommended water content adversely affected the bending strength of the mortar.

Abstract Growing emission requirements are forcing the foundry industry to seek new, more environmentally friendly solutions. One of the solutions may be the technologies of preparing moulding and core sands using organic biodegradable materials as binders. However, not only environmental requirements grow but also those related to the technological properties of moulding sand. Advancing automation and mechanization of the foundry industry brings new challenges related to the moulding sands. Low elasticity may cause defects during assembly of cores or moulds by the manipulators. The paper presents the study of flexibility in the room temperature according to new method and resistance to thermal deformation of self-hardening moulding sands with furfuryl resin, containing biodegradable material PCL. The task of the new additive is to reduce the moulding sands harmfulness to the environment and increase its flexibility in the room temperature. The impact of the additive and the effect of the amount of binder on the properties of mentioned moulding sands were analysed. Studies have shown that the use of 5% of PCL does not change the nature of the thermal deformation curve, improves the bending strength of tested moulding mixtures and increases their flexibility at room temperature.

In developing ceramic gas turbines (CGT), evaluation of impact strength of ceramic materials is one of the most important subjects. For the purpose of evaluating impact strength of ceramics, particle impact tests of ceramics are carried out at room temperature by using electrothermal (ET) gun and micro-sabot system. Power turbine nozzles and circular disk specimens made of three kinds of Si3N4 are impacted by samarium - cobalt (Sm - Co) magnet flyer particles in vacuum. Weight of particles is fixed to 4mg and particle velocities range from 300 to 900 m/sec. Thickness of specimens are 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mm. In this study critical impact velocity, Vc, is defined as threshold velocity which causes visible cracks on the rear surface of the impact side. The cracks seem to be brought by flexural fracture mode. It is found that Vc is related with bending strength, σ, and thickness, t, of the target material as : Vc = C · σ5/6 · t5/3. It is found that impact results with and without rear cracks are well categorized based on this empirical relationship.

The ethylene-propylene polymer (PP) was modified by using a rare earth β-nucleating agent (WBG-II). The crystallization characteristics of PP induced by WBG-II were investigated through the wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). The effect of β-nucleating agent on the mechanical property of PP under low temperature was also researched. The results confirmed that β-nucleating agent WBG-II can change the crystal structure of PP and induce the β-form crystals in the PP to develop. Moreover, under the room temperature, with the increment of WBG-II, the tensile strength, bending strength and modulus of the modified PP increase, but the impact strength and elongation at break decrease; and especially at-10 °C, this tendency is more obvious.

The paper provides new survey evidence on effects of concentrated ownership upon investment and performance in Russian industrial enterprises. Authors trace major changes in their ownership profile, assess pace of post-privatization redistribution of shareholdings and provide evidence on ownership concentration in the Russian industry. The major econometric findings are that the first largest shareholding is negatively associated with the firm’s investment and performance but surprisingly the second largest shareholding is positively associated with them. Moreover, these relationships do not depend on identity of majority shareholders. These results are consistent with the assumption that the entrenched controlling owners are engaged in extracting "control premium" but sizable shareholdings accumulated by other blockholders may put brakes on their expropriating behavior and thus be conductive for efficiency enhancing. The most interesting topic for further more detailed analysis is formation, stability and roles of coalitions of large blockholders in the corporate sector of post-socialist countries.

The State of Qatar has implemented several family policies in order to improve the wellbeing of Qatari families and ensure fair distribution of development benefits for both men and women. However, there is a linkage between female employment outside the home and instability in the marriages of Qatari families. This paper investigates the impact of female employment on marital stability, based on the results of primary data collected in Qatar, a questionnaire that consisted of several sections such as challenges in the workplace, supervisor, family and spouse relations, work motivation and performance. Of the 824 questionnaires that were returned, 807 were completed and valid for analysis. Regression analysis and an ANOVA test have been used to test the relationship between the variables. The results of the research have produced mixed findings about how wives’ employment increases marital instability and have yielded few significant differences on mean scores of discuss on work demands, insufficient time together, housework, financial matters, communication, relatives and rearing children. The results indicates that in general Qatar working women face several challenges in relation to their marital life as part of cultural and social constraints.
