<b>Dyeing Performance of Coconut Charcoal Polyester Fabric</b>

Corrosion Protection Performance of Nanoclay-Polyester Nanocomposite Coatings

In this paper, polymer-based nanocomposites powder were applied on the surface of plain carbon steel by electrostatic device and then were cured by microwave. The effect of adding nanoparticles on the corrosion resistance properties of the coatings was investigated by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy and immersion test in 3.5 NaCl solution. Coatings structure and morphology of nanoparticl...

Enhancement of composite performance by hollow polyester fibers

Evaluation of Drilling Performance of Unsaturated Polyester Resin

Unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) has the resistance against boiled water, acid and alkali, and hence, is widely used in corrosive environment and elsewhere, although fracture strength of polymeric materials is generally low relative to metals and ceramics. Despite the fact that polymer components are mostly produced near-net-shape, machining, particularly drilling, is often required to prepare...

Properties and performance of flax yarn/ thermoplastic polyester composites

Aiming at demonstrating the potential of unidirectional natural fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites in structural applications, textile flax yarn/thermoplastic polyester composites with variable fiber volume fractions have been manufactured by a filament-winding process followed by a vacuum-assisted compression molding process. The microstructure of the composites shows that the flax fibe...

Use of powdered coconut charcoal as a toxicity identification and evaluation manipulation for organic toxicants in marine sediments.

We report on a procedure using powdered coconut charcoal to sequester organic contaminants and reduce toxicity in sediments as part of a series of toxicity identification and evaluation (TIE) methods. Powdered coconut charcoal (PCC) was effective in reducing the toxicity of endosulfan-spiked sediments by 100%. Powdered coconut charcoal also was effective in removing almost 100% of the toxicity ...
