Abstract We simulated tensile properties of several heat-treated tire cords in a laboratory in order to know the carcass cords' properties in post-curing and non-post-curing inflated tires. We also compared the tensile properties of the simulated cords with those of carcass cords in tires and examined an optimum post-curing inflation condition. After curing tires, EASL (Elongation At Specified Load) of carcass cords in tires was higher than that of raw cords. Following the curing, the EASL decreased orderly depending on post-curing inflation time. Tensile properties of carcass cords in non-post-curing inflated tires were almost the same as compared to those of fully relaxed cords by heating at a curing temperature. Post-curing inflation had an effect on increasing modulus of carcass cords in tires. The effect can also be significant when tires are cooled down to glass transition temperature of the carcass cords.

This study presents polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) composites, and examines the influence of the content of MWCNTs on the tensile and thermal properties of the PVA matrices. The test results show that an increase of 1.5 wt% of MWCNTs results in greater tensile properties of the PVA matrices, while decreasing their toughness. The interaction between MWCNTs and PVA pertains to the thermal properties of PVA matrices, which is exemplified by a significant increase in their glass transition temperature (Tg).

Oxide glasses having lower glass transition temperature are widely used in electric devices. The oxide glasses usually contain lead oxide. Recently, lead oxide glasses have been replaced with lead-free oxide glasses because of the environmental pollution. We investigated the thermal properties and the glass formation region in the Bi2O3-B2O3-ZnO ternary system. The results showed that the ratio of Tg/Tl of the bismate glasses is around 0.55, which is lower than the value of ratio 0.67, the two-third rule (Tg/ Tl=2/3)

Polyvinylamine (PVAm) was synthesized by Hofmann degradation of polyacrylamide (PAM). The thermal properties of the Polyvinylamine hydrochloride (PVAm•HCl) were studied by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The degradation rate (a) decreased with increasing weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of PAM and decreasing amount of NaOH, and a were the better values when the concentration of PAM was 5% and the amount of NaClO was 10 mL. DSC curves showed that the glass transition temperature (Tg) of PVAm•HCl increased with increasing Mw of PAM, concentration of NaClO and decreasing concentration of NaOH. Tg of PVAm•HCl appeared the minimum value when the concentration of PAM was 5.0%.

This study aimed to evaluate the thermodynamic properties of sorption isotherms and glass transition temperature (Tg) and the thermal properties of a dye powder obtained from turmeric extracts using spray drying. The sorption isotherms were evaluated at 15, 25 and 35 °C using the dynamic gravimetric method, wherein the isotherm data of the experiment were fit to GAB and BET models. Likewise, the Tg was measured using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to determine the mass loss, and the thermal properties (heat capacity, diffusivity and thermal conductivity) were determined using transient flow method. The results demonstrated that the GAB model best fit the adsorption data. The DSC analysis presented a glass transition temperature of 65.35 °C and a loss of volatiles at 178.07 °C. The TGA analysis indicated a considerable mass loss starting at 193 °C, resulting in degradation of the product. The thermal properties demonstrated a heat capacity of 2.45 J/g °C, a thermal conductivity of 0.164 ± 0.001 W/mK and a thermal diffusivity of 8.7x10-8 ± 0.000 m2/s.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized by bioreduction method using aqueous extracts of Boesenbergia rotunda as reducing and stabilizing agents. Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometer was utilized to monitor the qualitative formation of AgNPs. The UV-Vis spectrum showed that the spherical AgNPs with diameter of 20-40 nm were formed. The antifugal activity of synthesized AgNPs was investigated using Candida albicans, which was found that the synthesized AgNPs could be used as effective growth inhibitors. The influence of the incorporation of prepared AgNPs on thermal properties of the acrylic denture base material was investigated. Glass transition temperature of filled acrylic resins was studied using the dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA). The temperature sweeps were performed with tension mode. Thermogravimetry analysis (TGA) was used to examine effect of AgNP concentration and thermocycling (1250, 2500, 5000, and 10000 cycles) on thermal stability of AgNP filled acrylic resin denture base materials. Glass transition temperature (Tg) of the acrylic resins slightly increase with increasing AgNP contents. TGA results indicated that AgNP retarded thermal degradation of acrylic resin denture material, and thermocycling did not affect thermal stability of AgNP filled acrylic resin denture material.


Adhesive strength of «epoxy binder-steel wire» joints and the mechanical behavior of the binder during multiple repeated curing have been investigated. It is shown that when the curing temperature is considerably higher than the glass transition temperature of the binder, the adhesive strength decreases monotonically with an increase in the number of curing cycles. In this case the mechanical properties of the matrix also decrease. Possible mechanisms of the observed changes are discussed.

The influence of both beam irradiation and step cross-linking on high abrasion furnace (HAF) carbon black loaded natural rubber (NR) vulcanizates are reported. With irradiation, a higher cross-link density, ν, thermal conductivity, λ, and glass transition temperature, Tg, have been observed for such materials, as compared with the un-irradiated ones. There is also a decreased specific heat capacity, Cp. Meanwhile, the step cross-linking process has a slight effect on the cross-link density, glass transition temperature and thermal properties of these composites. The results of such changes in thermal conductivity are explained with the help of a simple modified model.
