This work deals with developing a self-healing resin designed for aeronautical and aerospace applications. The bifunctional epoxy precursor was suitably functionalized to enhance its toughness realize good compatibilization rubber phase dispersed in the hosting resin. Subsequently, resulting mixture loaded healing molecules. effect of temperature on precursor’s functionalization process deeply ...

The influence of different types silica, differing in quality characteristics, on the complex modulus rubbers, their elastic modulus, loss and also tangent angle mechanical are investigated. Mineral fillers silica 1 2 introduced at a dosage 80.00 phr into filled elastomeric compositions based combination synthetic styrene-butadiene polybutadiene used for manufacture treads passenger tires. test...

The article provides a mathematical model of the vertical oscillations main shaft on elastic supports sewing machine, taking into account inertial forces, as well rigidity characteristics rubber supports. regularities designs are experimentally determined for various modes grinding materials. An effective design scheme bearing with shock absorbers machine has been developed and recommended.

Natural rubber (NR) has unique properties which are unmatched by synthetic and is used in over 50,000 products. The only commercial source of NR the Para tree (Hevea brasiliensis) insecure because increasing demand, price instability, high labor costs, trade politics, competition with other crops, deforestation bans preventing new H. brasiliensis acreage, disease.

More recently, there has been a growing trend toward making electronics fl exible and even stretchable, [ 1–7 ] e.g., in the applications of neural interfaces where mechanical compliance is critical. [ 8–12 ] Many challenges hinder the implementation of electronics on an elastomeric substrate with integration density and functionality comparable to that achievable on a silicon substrate. One ma...

We report on a new method to excite surface plasmon polaritons on a thin metal slab surface using an elastomeric grating which is fabricated by replica molding technique. The grating is placed on the metal surface which creates a periodic perturbation on the surface matching the momentum of the incident light to that of the surface plasmon. The conformal contact between the metal surface and th...

This in vivo experimental study evaluated the efficacy of fluoride-releasing elastomers in the control of Streptococcus mutans levels in the oral cavity. Forty orthodontic patients were recruited and divided into two groups of 20. Fluoride-releasing elastomeric ligature ties (Fluor-I-Ties, Ortho Arch Co. Inc., USA) were used in the experimental group, and conventional elastomeric ligature ties ...
