Crack initiation and propagation is a common concern for molecular composites such as plastic bonded explosives (PBXs) and pharmaceutical tablets. Under compressive stresses, cracks form at contacts between crystals and propagate along crystal-binder interfaces, causing composite failure. To investigate this process, crystal-binder interfaces have been characterised and their mechanical propert...

background: this cross sectional study was conducted to evaluate the effect of &gamma-rays; and electron-beam irradiation with a commercial toxin binder-milbond-tx on the performance, feed components, and meat quality of japanese quails challenged with aflatoxin b1. methods: overall, 168 one-d-old chicks (japanese quails) were allocated to eight treatments with three replicates based on a compl...

Respiratory dysfunction is a major source of morbidity and mortality in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and an abdominal binder improves efficiency of the diaphragm and inturn has an effect on respiratory function. To find out the effect on Pulmonary Function with Abdominal Compression Binder in Adult Paraplegics. Method: 20 Paraplegic was selected, informed consent was taken. In sitting...

We successfully developed a simple electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method to decorate the MoSe2 nanosheets on the carbon fiber surface of carbon cloth (MoSe2/CC). With this process, MoSe2 nanosheets can be uniformly and tightly deposited on this flexible conductor to form a 3D binder-free electrode for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The film thickness can also be controlled by the EPD time...

This is a review of acid aluminum phosphate for the binding and coating of materials. The acid aluminum phosphate in the form of a solution obtained by dissolving aluminum hydroxide in phosphoric acid, with a P/Al molar ratio of 23, is effective for the binding of fibrous or particulate materials. Porous ceramic articles are made using this binder by wet forming, followed by heat treatment. The...

Abstract In this study, the effects of calcined diatomaceous earth (CDE), polypropylene fiber (PF), and glass (GF) on mechanical properties ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) were observed, a total 33 UHPFRC mixtures, consisting 3 mixtures without fiber, 15 with PF, GF prepared. Subsequently, fresh tested for flow, while hardened specimen’s analyzed. These tests include c...

The main objective of this paper is to investigate the relations of rubber size, rubber content, and binder content in determination of optimum binder content for open graded friction course (OGFC). Mix gradation type B as specified in Specification for Porous Asphalt produced by the Road Engineering Association of Malaysia (REAM) was used in this study. Marshall specimens were prepared with fo...

M. Jodkowski, J. Łabaj, J. Brzóska, D. Jama – Silesian University of Technology, Katowice, Poland The research results on a method of reducing the amount of binder applied during formation of metal concentrates are presented. Research was done on a model copper concentrate, which was mixed in assumed mass fraction with binder, as well as binder with addition of waste polyols. Such mixtures were...

Experimental work was carried out to investigate the influence of impeller speed, granulation time, binder mass and their interactions on granule size distribution, mean size and binder content distribution in a conical high shear granulator. It was observed that the response of high shear granulation to changes in process parameters varies significantly from one operating condition to anot...

In India, most of the pavement is laid by bituminous road and the consumption of binder is high for pavement construction and also modified binders are used to satisfy any specific pavement requirement. Since the binders are visco-elastic material which is having the mechanical properties of binder transition from viscoelastic solid to visco-elastic fluid. In this paper, two different protocols...
