The aim of this study is to investigate effects of isothermal aging on mechanical properties of fiber metal laminates (FMLs) and glass/epoxy composites. For this purpose, both materials were fabricated using the wet lay-up manufacturing technique under vacuum pressure. Both the glass/epoxy composites and the FML specimens were then subjected to isothermal aging (130°C, dried air) for up to 5 we...

in this study, cross linked chitosan resin (ccr) was prepared by cross linking chitosan with glutaraldehyde, and then î±-ketoglutaric acid-modified chitosan resin (kcr) was obtained by modifying ccr with î±-ketoglutaric acid. the sorption behavior of methylene blue (mb) on kcr and ccr from aqueous solution was investigated. the effect of various experimental parameters (e.g. initial ph, sorbent...

Abstract Drying is a dehydration process that can help to prolongate storage time, improve product quality, and reduce transportation cost. Although being applied for food processing long the drying still needs be further investigated optimizing dryer design operations. Among thermal physical properties of material, effective diffusivity moisture an essential input parameter calculation. This t...
