Several E4303 type welding electrodes with different coating compositions were designed and manufactured using TL-25 welding electrode extrusion press. Welding slags of these electrodes were collected after welding on the low carbon steel, then the microstructure and the phase constitutes of the slags were investigated by optical microscope,scan electron microscope (SEM), electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA), Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). It was indicated that the slags were mainly composed of amorphous matrix and Fe2MnTi3O10 crystal phase. Fe, Mn and Ti were the main elements to form the crystal phase, while Si, Al and Ca were mostly distributed in the amorphous matrix. The formation of the crystal phase in the slag could be controlled by adjusting the amount and the proportion of Fe, Mn and Ti in the welding rod coating.

A construção civil está em busca constante de materiais alternativos que supram as solicitações exigidas nas estruturas das edificações. Nesse contexto, as fibras têxteis residuais podem ser uma alternativa para as matrizes cimentícias como reforço estrutural contra a fissuração localizada, uma vez que o concreto armado é incapaz de absorvê-las. Por sua vez, a indústria de pneus gera grandes quantidades de resíduos têxteis que são destinados aos aterros sanitários, causando graves impactos ao meio ambiente. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa buscou avaliar a viabilidade da incorporação de resíduo têxtil em forma de fibras, em concretos, visando aumentar a capacidade de deformação e o controle da fissuração. Para tanto, confeccionou-se um traço 1:2,21:3,21 (cimento:areia:brita) e incorporou-se as fibras nos teores de 2,7 e 3,6 Kg/m³ sobre o volume do concreto. Para caracterização das fibras foi verificada a geometria, o comprimento, o fator de forma e o diâmetro médio. No estado fresco do concreto, analisou-se a influência das fibras quanto à trabalhabilidade e a massa específica. Após, no estado endurecido, avaliou-se a densidade de massa, a resistência à compressão, a resistência à tração por compressão diametral e a resistência ao impacto. Além disso, verificou-se a forma de aderência e de ruptura da fibra na matriz cimentícia através do microscópio óptico. Deste modo, os resultados apontam viabilidade da incorporação de fibra têxtil em matrizes cimentícias, visto que estas diminuiram a fissuração localizada e auxiliaram na absorção de impactos no concreto, porém por se tratar de um assunto inovador, deve-se realizar mais estudos para que o compósito possa ser efetivamente utilizado na construção civil.Palavras-chave: Concreto.

In this context, residual textile fibers may be an option for cement matrix as a structural reinforcement against the localized cracking, considering that the reinforced concrete is unable to absorb them. With regard, the tire industry generates substantial amounts of textile waste that is destined for landfill sites, causing massive impacts to the environment. In this sense, this research sought to evaluate the feasibility of the incorporation of textile waste in the fibers form, in concrete, aiming to increase the deformation capacity and the control of cracking. In order to do so, the trace 1: 2,21: 3,21 (cement: sand: gravel) was made and the fibers were incorporated in the contents of 2.7 and 3.6 kg / m³ on the volume of the concrete. For characterization of the fibers, the geometry, length, shape factor and average diameter were verified. In the fresh state of the concrete, it was analyzed the influence of the fibers on the workability and the specific mass. Later, in the hardened state, the mass density, compressive strength, diametral compression tensile strength and impact strength were evaluated. In addition to that, the adhesion and rupture of the fiber in the cementitious matrix ware checked through the optical microscope. Thus, the results indicate the feasibility of the incorporation of textile fiber in cementitious matrixes, since these reduced the localized cracking and helped in the absorption of impacts in the concrete; however, since it is an innovative subject, more studies may be done so that the composite can be used in civil construction.Keywords: Concrete.

Submicron-scale titania-based ceramic fibers with various compositions have been prepared by electrospinning. The as-prepared nanofibers were heat-treated at 700°C for 3 h to obtain pure inorganic fiber meshes. The results show that the diameter and morphology of the nanofibers are affected by starting polymer concentration and sol-gel composition. The titania and titania-silica nanofibers had the average diameter about 100–300 nm. The crystal phase varied from high-crystallized rutile-anatase mixed crystal to low-crystallized anatase with adding the silica addition. The morphology and crystal phase were evaluated by SEM and XRD. Bone-marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells were seeded on titania-silica 50/50 fiber meshes. Cell number and early differentiation marker expressions were analyzed, and the results indicated osteogenic potential of the titania-silica 50/50 fiber meshes.

Aspect ratio which is the ratio between the length and diameter of the fiber affects the sound absorption performance of the polymer reinforced natural fiber (ramie or bamboo fiber). The aim of this study is to choose the specific frequency –which is important for industrial application- to obtain an optimal sound absorption coefficient (α) by designing a certain aspect ratio.The acoustic was measured using impedance tube of The ASTM E- 1050=98 standard. Fiber length was 10 mm, while the diameter of the fiber was measured by using a digital optical microscope measurement with an average diameter of 110.4 microns. The morphology of the material was observed by using scanning electron microscope (SEM). Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to identify the presence of certain functional groups in a molecule. The results indicated that the average of the sound absorption coefficient of the polymer reinforced ramie fiber reached 0,836 at low frequency of 125 Hz and 0,537 at medium frequency of 1000 Hz, and aspect ratio of 90, while the sound absorption coefficient of the polyester material reinforced bamboo fiber reached 0.973 at medium frequency of 1000 Hz.

The emulsion crosslinking method using glutaraldehyde as a crosslinking agent was exploited to prepare chitosan microspheres. Effects of preparation factors such as homogenization speed, oil/emulsifier ratio (O/E), oil/water ratio (O/W), crosslinker concentration on the structure of products were investigated. Structure and morphology of the obtained products were determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Trasmission Optical Microscope systems (TOM), and Dynamic Laser Scattering analysis (DLS). The results indicated that the obtained products were spherical in shape. The average diameter of chitosan microspheres decreased with the increase of homogenization speed, O/W ratio, crosslinker concentration or decrease of O/E ratio. When homogenization speed is 6000 rpm, O/E =1.5, O/W=15, and molar ratio of chitosan to glutaraldehyde R=1, the average diameter of the chitosan microspheres was about 2.40 μm with a narrow size distribution. Chitosan microspheres are able to be used as a polymer matrix for targeted drug delivery systems due to their pH-responsive property.

Homogenization is a necessary process in the production of drinking milk and most dairy products. The specific energy consumption of the most common valve homogenizers reaches 8 kW h.t-1. A promising way to reduce it is the introduction of more effective counter-jet homogenizers. The purpose of these studies is to increase the efficiency of machines of this type through fuller use of their kinetic energy. To achieve this, the design of a ring reflector was developed and experimental studies were carried out to determine its influence on the efficiency of milk fat dispersion in a counter-jet homogenizer. Calculations were made to determine the reflector’s design parameters. An installation for experimental research has been developed, in which the required milk pressure is created with the help of compressed carbon dioxide. The dispersive indices of the milk emulsion were determined by computer analysis of milk sample micrographs obtained with an optical microscope and a digital camera using Microsoft Office Excel and Microsoft Visual Studio C# software using the OpenCV Sharp library. As a result of research, the formula for defining the angle of the reflector top has been determined analytically. Experimental studies proved its validity and allowed determination of the optimal diameter. A comparison of the dependence of the degree of homogenization on the excess pressure in a counter-jet homogenizer proves a 15 – 20% increase in the degree of dispersion when using a reflector. At the same time, specific energy consumption does not increase. Comparison of the distribution curves of milk fat globules by size after counter-jet homogenization and homogenization with a reflector suggests that the average diameter of fat globules for the experimental method decreases from 0.99 to 0.83 μm. This indicates the high quality of the dispersal characteristics of the milk emulsion after processing in a counter-jet homogenizer with a reflector.

The modification of rotor-pulsation machine – pulsation machine with a vibrating rotor (PM with VR) has been researched in the work. Rotor in such modification not only rotates but also oscillates axially with the frequency about 3000 min-1 and amplitude 0,5–1,0 mm. The aim of this research was to define specific features of milk homogenization process in PM with VR and disperse characteristics of milk emulsion. Analytical researches resulted in finding dependence of milk emulsion acceleration as a main factor of milk fat particles breakup subject to the design and kinematic parameters of PM with VR. Experimental researches were carried out on the laboratory setup of the pulsation machine with a vibrating rotor which was designed by the authors. The subject of experimental researches is cow's milk. The sizes of milk fat globules after homogenization were measured by the optical microscope equipped with a digital camera. The researches resulted in defining characteristics of milk emulsion dispersing in PM with VR. Thus acceleration grows when diameter, oscillation amplitude and rotation frequency of the rotor are increased, and channels length of the rotor and stator, the gap between them are decreased and the number of rotor openings is 4 or less. Empirical dependence between the average diameter of the fat globule (0,7–1,9 μm) and the average emulsion acceleration ((1–10)·103 m/s2) in the interrupter of PM with VR is defined which proves that the emulsion flow acceleration is the main cause of homogenization of PM with VR with 92 % confidence. High quality of the milk emulsion after processing in PM with VR has been proved. The crankshaft rotation frequencies up to 2880 rpm and rotor oscillation amplitude of 1 mm enable to receive milk emulsion with the average dispersion about 0,8 μm that corroborates using PM with VR in the industrial conditions for milk homogenization to be perspective.
