This paper focuses on the influence on the mechanical properties of hydroxyapatite / poly-hydroxybutyrate (HA / PHB) composites by different HA contents, and the effect of Silane coupling agent on improving the interface of HA/PHB composite materials. The HA/PHB composites were prepared by ball milling, hot-pressing, the HA content were 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30wt%, respectively. Silane coupling agent was used for HA surface treatment in HA/PHB composites to compare with not having HA surface treatment in HA/PHB composite materials. The impact strength and flexural strength of HA / PHB composites were tested, and the microstructure of the fracture surface was observed by SEM. The results showed that HA could enhance the bending strength of HA/PHB composites. With HA content increased, the bending strength increased first and then decreased, when the HA content was 10wt%, the maximum bending strength reached 32.74MPa, increased about 41% comparing with pure PHB. Silane coupling agent can improve the interface of HA / PHB, then enhance the mechanical strength. When the HA content was 15wt%, the maximum bending strength reached 46.6MPa, Increased about 56% comparing with the same proportion of untreated HA/PHB composite material, and about double comparing with pure PHB.

Abstract In this paper the investigations of magnetostriction as well as DC magnetic properties for composites doped with Terfenol-D particles are presented. All investigations were performed for the materials with 35%, 46% and 70% volume fraction of the Terfenol-D particles surrounded by epoxy matrix. Moreover, the bulk Terfenol-D alloy was tested. The obtained results show that the magnetization of the composite materials increases with increasing the volume fraction of Terfenol-D particles. Similar dependence as for magnetization was observed for the magnetostriction measurements. Although the magnetostriction of composite material is smaller than for solid Terfenol-D it is still tens of times bigger than in case of traditional magnetostrictive materials. Obtained results gives opportunity to use these materials for variety applications such as actuators and sensors.

Hematite Fe2o3

Polyether urethane (PU)-based magnetic composite materials, containing different types and concentrations of iron oxide nanostructures (Fe2O3 and Fe3O4), were prepared and investigated as a novel composite platform that could be explored in different applications, especially for the improvement of the image quality of MRI investigations. Firstly, the PU structure was synthetized by means of a polyaddition reaction and then hematite (Fe2O3) and magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were added to the PU matrices to prepare magnetic nanocomposites. The type and amount of iron oxide nanoparticles influenced its structural, morphological, mechanical, dielectric, and magnetic properties. Thus, the morphology and wettability of the PU nanocomposites surfaces presented different behaviours depending on the amount of the iron oxide nanoparticles embedded in the matrices. Mechanical, dielectric, and magnetic properties were enhanced in the composites’ samples when compared with pristine PU matrix. In addition, the investigation of in vitro cytocompatibility of prepared PU nanocomposites showed that these samples are good candidates for biomedical applications, with cell viability levels in the range of 80–90%. Considering all the investigations, we can conclude that the addition of magnetic particles introduced additional properties to the composite, which could significantly expand the functionality of the materials developed in this work.

Purpose: Detection and evaluation of damage due to impact or fatigue loading in components made by composite materials is one of the main concern for automotive engineers. We focus on damage due to impact loading on long fibre, plastic matrix composite, as they represent one of the most interesting development solution for automotive components toward lightweight structure that in turn means reduction of fuel consumption and of Green House Gas emissions. Design/methodology/approach: An innovative simplified methodology is proposed, based on the impact and repeated impact behaviour of composite material, for the evaluation of the induced damage and of material residual elastic properties. The investigated composite laminate is made of eight twill-wave carbon fabrics impregnated with epoxy resin. The methodology consists of two phases: at first the identification of the impact response. Composite plates have been impacted at different energy levels and residual elastic properties measured through standard tensile tests. The relationship between impact energy and residual elastic properties is obtained. Then the exploration impact load is identified, large enough to give a well-defined picture of the suffered damage but soft enough to do not induce further damage in the composite laminate. Findings: This exploration impact test and the Damage Index (DI) value, as interpretation key, leads to a prediction of the local residual elastic properties in the damaged area. The proposed methodology has been validated on plate specimens. A strict correlation is found between the predicted and the actual residual elastic properties of the damaged composite plate. Practical implications: Subsequently it has been applied to a composite beam, with a omega shape transverse section, that can be considered as a demonstrator for a typical beam used in the car body frame. Originality/value: A selection on the following alternatives will be possible: a – don’t care the damage is not affecting the structure performance; b – repair is needed but will be sufficient; c – substitute the damaged component as soon as possible.

Purpose of research is to study cheaper composite materials for building structures such as cement-free ones without heat treatment, which will undoubtedly allow finding their application in building industry. To achieve this goal it is necessary to identify patterns of structure formation of clinker-free contact condensation hardening composite materials in which portlandite crystals act as a matrix, and the physicochemical active component of natural origin acts as a filler.Methods. In accordance with the purpose set, one of the main tasks of the work was to be solved; it involved study-ing the patterns of structure formation of contact-condensation hardening systems relying on the basic principles of materials science, which include studying the influence of the composition, structure and state of the starting com-ponents on the properties of a composite material. In this work, we studied the role of the physicochemical activity of raw materials and the possibility of ‘combining’ a portlandite matrix with filling mechano-physicochemical active raw materials capable of producing new structures. To form the composite material, a compaction pressing technique at elevated specific pressures was used, which made it possible to implement the mechanisms of contact condensation technology of structure formation. The formation of physicochemical bonds of portlandite and aluminosilicate filler of various types is also possible with certain ratios of their mass fractions and V/I ratios the optimization of which was one of our objectives.Results. The result of this work is to assess the impact of raw material characteristics and technology parameters on the properties of the resulting material, namely, the improvement of the compacting pressure and the amount of filler when getting a compacted composite.Conclusion. The development of a technology of producing clinker-free contact condensation composites based on portlandite with aluminosilicate filler will expand the raw material base of local building materials, reduce their cost and energy consumption, that is, solve key issues of resource saving in the building materials production.

The Impact

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) represent an attractive trend as specific targeting molecules but sustain poor cellular uptake meanwhile superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) offer stability of ASO and improved cellular uptake. In the present work we aimed to functionalize SPIONs with ASO targeting the mRNA of Cyclin B1 which represents a potential cancer target and to explore its anticancer activity. For that purpose, four different SPIONs-ASO conjugates, S-M (1–4), were designated depending on the sequence of ASO and constructed by crosslinking carboxylated SPIONs to amino labeled ASO. The impact of S-M (1–4) on the level of Cyclin B1, cell cycle, ROS and viability of the cells were assessed by flowcytometry. The results showed that S-M3 and S-M4 reduced the level of Cyclin B1 by 35 and 36%, respectively. As a consequence to downregulation of Cyclin B1, MCF7 cells were shown to be arrested at G2/M phase (60.7%). S-M (1–4) led to the induction of ROS formation in comparison to the untreated control cells. Furthermore, S-M (1–4) resulted in an increase in dead cells compared to the untreated cells and SPIONs-treated cells. In conclusion, targeting Cyclin B1 with ASO-coated SPIONs may represent a specific biocompatible anticancer strategy.

Aims:: The main goals of this research are exploration of energy-efficient building materials when replacing natural materials with industrial waste and development of the theory and practice of obtaining light and ultra-light gravel materials based on mineral binders and waste dump ash and slag mixtures of hydraulic removal. Background.: Experimental data on the conditions of formation of gravel materials containing hollow aluminum and silica microsphere with opportunity of receipt of optimum structure and properties depending on humidity with the using of various binders are presented in this article. This article dwells on the scientific study of opportunity physical-mechanical properties of composite materials optimization are considered. Objective.: Composite material contains hollow aluminum and silica microsphere. Method.: The study is based on the application of the method of separation of power and heat engineering functions. The method is based on the use of the factor structure optimality, which takes into account the primary and secondary stress fields of the structural gravel material. This indicates the possibility of obtaining gravel material with the most uniform distribution of nano - and microparticles in the gravel material and the formation of stable matrices with minimization of stress concentrations. Experiments show that the thickness of the cement shell, which performs power functions, is directly related to the size of the raw granules. At the same time, the thickness of the cement crust, regardless of the type of binder, with increasing moisture content has a higher rate of formation for granules of larger diameter. Results.: The conditions for the formation of gravel composite materials containing a hollow aluminosilicate microsphere are studied. The optimal structure and properties of the gravel composite material were obtained. The dependence of the strength function on humidity and the type of binder has been investigated. The optimal size and shape of binary form of gravel material containing a hollow aluminosilicate microsphere with a minimum thickness of a cement shell and a maximum strength function was obtained. Conclusion.: Received structure allows to separate power and heat engineering functions in material and to minimize the content of the excited environment centers.
