In this paper, the effect of reclaimed rubber modification on the rheological characteristics of asphalt binders is studied. Reclaimed rubber with the extent of 12, 16 and 20 is added to the neat asphalt binder and then shear complex modulus is obtained for neat and modified asphalt binder via Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) test. Using Christensen-Anderson- Marasteanu (CAM) model, master curves ...

Abstract Acrylate polymers are used in several applications such as dentistry, medicine, and industry. The modification of their properties using the reinforcement is key importance for possible applications. Layered double hydroxides materials that easily synthesized by techniques giving possibility to modulate chemical composition morphology they consist a divalent trivalent anion hydroxide l...

polyvinyl ester green composites were synthesized with walnut shell powder (wsp) by in-situ polymerization technique. the green composites have been evaluated for mechanical properties such as tensile strength, tensile modulus and hardness. sliding wear loss, specific wear rate and coefficient of friction were investigated by using computerized pin-on–disc machine at normal applied loads of 20,...

Background This study investigated the effect of post bleaching treatments to the change of enamel elastic modulus and microhardness after dental bleaching in- vitro. Material and Methods Fifty bovine incisor slab were randomly assigned into five groups (n=10). The samples were bleached for three times; 20 minutes each time, by 40% hydrogen peroxide. Next it was applied fractional CO2 laser f...

to compare the mechanical properties of resilon and gutta-percha cones after storing at three different temperatures.one-hundred standardized size 40/02 gutta-percha cones and 100 resilon cones were randomly divided into four groups. the first group of the materials were tested immediately after receipt as the control group. the other three were stored in their packages at -12°c, 4± 1°c and 22±...

BACKGROUND High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) is one of the most often used polymers in biomedical applications. The limitations of HDPE are its visco-elastic behavior, low modulus and poor bioactivity. To improve HDPE properties, HA nanoparticles can be added to form polymer composite that can be used as alternatives to metals for bone substitutes and orthopaedic implant applications. METHOD I...

The present paper introduces a numerical simulation aided, experimental method for the measurement of Young's modulus of the trabecular substance in the human mandible. Compression tests were performed on fresh cadaveric samples containing trabecular bone covered with cortical layer, thus avoiding the destruction caused by the sterilization, preservation, and storage and the underestimation of ...

in this study, wasinvestigated the effect of two thickening agents, carboxymethyl cellulose (cmc) and guar on the rheological properties of set fruit yogurt. viscoelastic modulus (g' , g'), apparent viscosity and complex viscosity increased and loss factor decreased by increasing carboxymethyl cellulose and guar content up to 0.2% and 0.06% respectively. however, in the concentrations...
