Composite manufacturing appears to be one of the most suitable recycling options for chromated copper arsenate (CCA)-treated waste wood. However, in many applications it would be beneficial to remove much or all of the CCA from the wood prior to composite production. This paper evaluates the effect of remediation processes, namely oxalic acid (OA) extraction and Bacillus licheniformis fermentat...

The new electrical conductive material, copper alloy, C194 in situ composite, has been developed for the application to leadframe, high field magnet and trolley wire. This material has a low cost, high thermal and electrical conductivity, easy fabrication and joining, and also has a wide range of attainable mechanical properties. In C194, copper is one of the core materials in producing leadfra...

Micro scale boiling behavior in the vicinity of graphite micro-fiber tips on the coppergraphite composite boiling surfaces is investigated. It is discovered that a large number of micro bubbles are formed first at the micro scratches and cavities on the copper matrix in pool boiling. In virtue of the non-wetting property of graphite, once the growing micro bubbles touch the graphite tips, the m...

Thirteen nonacidic waterborne preservatives were in­ vestigated for their compatibilitywith phenol-formaldehyde adhesive on aspen veneer treated with the preservatives to retentions of 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 pcf. Of these preserva­ tives, didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (DDAC),DDAC with copper, DDAC with carbamate (DDACCA),sodium fluoride,and ammonium hydrogen difluoridedid not inter­ fere with a...

The processes of melt formation were studied by methods optical and electron scanning microscopy. These occur during induction brazing a hard alloy to steel holder contact interaction low-melting (copper-zinc system alloy) refractory (iron-nickel) components the solders. It is shown that effect thermal magnetic-dynamic high-frequency electromagnetic field on composite solder how high-strength j...

Abstract An enabling advantage of carbon-based conductors is their low density and high thermal conductivity. To put this in the perspective applications, current rating copper nanocomposite different lengths are modeled. For comparison, required to raise maximum temperature studied 150 °C calculated with a joule heating model. The model validated an experimental setup equipped camera. It shown...

The present study aimed to analyze the application of waste material from copper production– slag (ŻŻL) as filler for composites based on high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Copper was introduced in amounts 1–20 wt%, and its influence appearance (color analysis), chemical structure (Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy), microstructure (optical microscopy), well static (tensile tests) d...

Interatomic interaction potentials are compared using a molecular dynamics modeling method to choose the simplest, but most effective, model describe of copper nanoparticles and graphene flakes. Three considered: (1) bond-order potential; (2) hybrid embedded-atom-method Morse (3) potential. The is investigated for crumpled filled with determine possibility obtaining composite mechanical propert...

The present study revealed a surprising valence transformation of copper (Cu) in the sintering process of mixtures of copper chloride dihydrate (CuCl(2)·2H(2)O) with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) in ambient atmosphere. Such a transformation in Cu valence states can be modulated by changing the initial molar ratio (IMR) of CuCl(2)·2H(2)O to β-CD in the mixtures. Firstly, as the value of IMR decreased, t...
