utilization of the new compatibilizers to improve matrix/filler interface adhesion and also, nanoparticles to improve the properties of wpc products have always been of interest to researchers. in this study, the effect of oxidized polypropylene in solution phase as a comptibilizer and nanoclay particles on the physical and mechanical properties of wood fiber reinforced polypropylene composite ...

this study was devoted to the development of pulp luffa cclindrica and its characterization paper (annual plant fiber of the family cucurbitaceae). baking at soda helps to achieve a high level of delignification (kappa ≤ 10) and high yield (≈ 67%).the beatability stack valley is comparable to refined wood fibers, the fibers develop a normally time with good hydrophilic properties without excess...

Fiber reinforcement is widely used in construction engineering to improve the mechanical properties of soil because it increases the soil's strength and improves the soil's mechanical properties. However, the mechanical properties of fiber-reinforced soils remain controversial. The present study investigated the mechanical properties of silty clay reinforced with discrete, randomly distributed ...

Background and Objectives: Kefiran (Kef) is a water-soluble polysaccharide that can form transparent film however, it is brittle. Therefore, in order to improve the mechanical properties of kefiran film, a mixture with other polymers can be offered. The expansion of mixed systems can propose kefiran and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) as a new composite film. Materials and Methods: Solutions of 20 gr...

Abstract: Horizontal continuous casting is widely used to produce semi-finished and finished metallic products. Homogeneity in metallurgical characteristics and mechanical properties in such products is of importance. In the present work microstructure and mechanical properties of a horizontal continuous cast pipe have been studied. Microstructural features were investigated by an optical mi...

A sudden slope failure occurred in Manisa possibly due to the effect of water infiltration because a slightly damaged sewage pipe. Considering that there was no other evidence such as rainfall or any loading conditions trigger failure, laboratory investigation on soil’s unsaturated hydro-mechanical properties initiated. Slopes are naturally soils, and they may lose their stability with increase...
