Recently, new brake pads have been developed using sustainable materials that are not harmful to the environment. In this study, effect of blue-colored Cupressus arizonica cones was determined as a friction modifier in pad composites. Four different samples were prepared by grinding cone material. The samples’ physical and chemical properties performances compared, finally, their microscopic an...

the phytoremediation capability in pb removal from the contaminated soils by three native seedlings species (acer cappadocicum, fraxinus excelsior and thuja orientalis) and one exotic species (cupressus arizonica) were compared. the seedlings were grown in pb contaminated soils at 0, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 mg kg-1 concentrations for 6 months (mar 21 to sept. 22, 2015), after which the bioma...

Servi kanserine sebep olan Seiridium cardinale (W.W. Wagener)’nin Çanakkale’de limoni servilerde (Cupressus macrocarpa cv. Goldcrest) yaygınlığı, hastalık oranı, morfolojik ve patojenik karakterizasyonun saptanması amacıyla 2021-2022 yılları arasında sörvey gerçekleştirilmiştir. Etmenin alanının tamamında var olduğu oranının % 1.65 saptanmıştır. Ana gövde veya yan dallarda geriye doğru ölüm, da...

Potent antioxidant activities of solvent extracts (96% aqueous ethanol) from the fruit, leaf, and branchlet without adherent leaf Cupressus arizonica were evaluated using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay compared with butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) ascorbic acid (AA). Their chemical compositions analyzed gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Branchlet (BE) most active as an ag...
