Plastic/rubber materials used as fasteners in equipment for analyzing or removing organic pollutants water treatment technologies form an essential part of the device. Micropollutants are typically present at very low concentrations (ng/L to µg/L). Therefore, when designing, example, units advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) planning sample handling, it is necessary assess whether material comp...

Considering the literature for aqueous rechargeable Zn//MnO2 batteries with acidic electrolytes using doctor blade coating of active material (AM), carbon black (CB), and binder polymer (BP) positive electrode fabrication, different types (non-)aqueous solvents were introduced so far. Furthermore, in most cases, relatively high passive (CB+BP) shares ~30 wt% applied. The first part this work fo...

Butadiene-styrene copolymer (SBR) is an elastomer composed of 75% butadiene and 25% styrene widely used in the automotive industry tire production. This can be produced from two polymerization processes: emulsion or solution polymerization. paper presents mechanical behavior a polymer reinforced sand compared to pure sand. Direct shear tests were performed on specimens with addition modified bu...

Artificially engineered multiphase heterostructures with high permittivity, high permeability and low dielectric and magnetic losses are desired for microwave applications. In addition, the direct conversion of electrical (and/or magnetic) energy to mechanical work through a material response is important for many practical applications. Thus, there is a need for sensitive and quantifiable tech...

acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (nbr) composites are prepared from waste nylon 66 short fiber using a two-roll mill mixer. the effects of fiber content and bonding agent on the mechanical and morphological properties of the composites are studied. the curing characteristics of the composites have been studied by using cure rheometer. the cure and scorch time of the composites decrease while cure...

Rubber material generally behaves as an electrical insulator, but vapor-grown carbon fiber (VGCF) is known for its electrical conductivity. Thus, we compounded styrene-butadiene rubber and carbon nanofiber (VGCF), and studied the relationship between strain and the DC electrical resistivity of vulcanized rubber filled with carbon nanofiber. No change of hardness was observed in hardness tests. ...

Silicon is a promising negative electrode for secondary lithium-based batteries, but the electrochemical reversibility of particularly nanostructured silicon electrodes drastically depends on their interfacial characteristics, commonly known as the solid electrolyte interface (SEI). The beneficial origin of certain electrolyte additives or different binders is still discussed controversially ow...

Currently, Si as an active material for LIBs has been attracting much attention due to its high theoretical specific capacity (3572 mAh g-1). However, a disadvantage when using a Si negative electrode for LIBs is the abrupt drop of its capabilities during the cycling process. Therefore, there have been a few studies of polymers such as poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVdF), carboxymethyl cellulose (...
