In order to investigate the effects of microwave curing on the microstructure of the interfacial transition zone of mortar prepared with a composite binder containing glass powder and to explain the mechanism of microwave curing on the improvement of compressive strength, in this study, the compressive strength of mortar under microwave curing was compared against mortar cured using (a) normal ...

In the production of electrical isolators based on thermosetting polymers, material is cured in a mould under temperature and pressure. As these products undergo highly exothermic curing reaction during an appropriate control which considers effects crucial, to ensure highest product quality. The objective determining physical parameters such as pressure workpiece was achieved by including sens...

Emulsion polymer isocyanate (EPI) adhesive is one of the most widely used structural adhesives in woodworking industry. However, there has been a lack knowledge on how EPI-adhesive interacts with chemical constituents wood, particular, wood extractives that are known to influence bonding quality. In this study, interactions water extracts and selected from European species were systematically i...
