The aim of this work is to improve the high performance mud bricks. latter was reinforced with rice straws as stabiliser leading an improvement physico-mechanical properties. Thus, physical characteristics clay such natural water content, density, atterberg limit, plasticity limit (Wp) and index (Ip) were determined. Their values are respectively 8.39%, 2025.73 Kg/m3, 47.66%, 29.75% 17.91%. use...

Elastomers play an irreplaceable role in our society due to their unique properties. Natural rubber is directly obtained from plants and widely used tires, shoes, etc. Recently, modified natural rubbers are proposed expand the application of rubber. However, these have a limited variety molecular structures may not be able meet ever-demanding applications. Traditional synthetic elastomers prope...

Abstract Benzoxazine monomers with high renewable content made from difuran diamine (DFDA) are presented. The benzoxazine were synthesized by reacting DFDA several bio‐based phenolic compounds and formaldehyde. These systems purified precipitation, depending on composition, the resulting solid powders melt at temperatures ranging between 50 150°C to form low viscosity liquids that can be used i...

A fluidized bed reactor that is operating in the bubbling regime has been developed for the conversion of bio-oils to syngas.The reactor consists of a 7.6 cm I.D. (or internal diameter) bed, with an expanded freeboard. The volume of the reactor can be adjusted to vary the gas residence time. This reactor has been used to carry out either thermal or catalytic cracking for reforming bio-oils.A ga...
