composites

The present paper discusses the development of new, environmentally friendly composite materials with advantageous properties. These composites are based on plant raw material - pine sawdust and trimethoxysilylated polystyrene (TMSPSt). The binder for the composites was obtained by our research group and used in conjunction with different degrees of silylation (15-35%), in the presence of various organic and inorganic additives, fire retardants, and antioxidants. It simultaneously acts as a reinforcing agent.

The peculiarities of the production and structure of combined composites based on polylactide 3D printed matrices and polyurethane resin were investigated. The physical and mechanical properties of the obtained composites were determined depending on the content of modifiers in the polyurethane resin. In particular, an increase in Brinell hardness and impact toughness of products based on 3D matrices filled with modified resin was revealed.

The study focuses on obtaining bamboo-based composite materials and new environmentally friendly binders with different degrees of silylation (15-35%) at different pressures and temperatures. The synthesis was carried out using silylated polystyrene (poly[trimethoxy(4-vinylphenethyl)] silane) and styrene as a binder and reinforcing agent in the presence of organic/inorganic additives, antioxidants and antipirene.

The work presents a new approach to the copolymerization and co-processing of industrial organochlorine waste (OCW) resulted in the production of vinyl chloride at Karpatnaftochim LLC, Kalush, Ukraine, and liquid wood pyrolysis products (LWPP) generated by the activated charcoal production at Perechyn Forestry and Chemical Plant, LLC. Kalush, Ukraine. This article highlights studies of the composition of the raw materials and the properties of the resulting products.

The structure and properties of modified poly(lactiс acid) films suitable for use as packaging materials and paper lamination were studied. Modification of poly(lactiс acid) of different degrees of crystallinity with glycerol was performed.

This paper reports on usability of activated carbon obtained from areca nut shell, coconut shell, and coconut leaves as a filler to prepare NBR based composite for automobile based application. The carbon was activated by phosphoric acid (H3PO4) as dehydrating agent. The stoichiometric ratio of biomass and phosphoric acid was found to be 3:1 for the batch size of 300 g. As compared to commercially available carbon filler, the activated carbon derived from biomass waste responded better to the petrol swelling test.

The blocked macrodiisocyanates (MDI) based on oligodienes with hydroxyl groups and a blocking agent p-quinonedioxyme have been synthesized. The effect of the modifier (blocked MDI) on the physical mechanical characteristics and structural features of composites based on the dispersed crumb rubber and functionalized poly(ethylene-vinyl acetate) were investigated. The effective concentration of the blocked MDI and its influence on mechanical and deformation characteristics of composites were studied.

Theoretical and experimental investigations of porous permeable materials of saponite-titanium and saponite-aluminium composites are presented in this work. their qualitative and quantitative indexes are determined in PhotoM and Smart-eye applied programs. Metallographic images are presented by combination of structural components with different proportions: phases, shape and color, grain boundaries.

Mesoporous niobium oxide (Nb2O5) was synthesized and treated with naphthalene sulfonated formaldehyde resin (NSF) solution. These new inorganic-organic hybrid composites were characterized by different techniques. Results indicated that the pores of the nanostructured material are filled with the NSF resin with changes in the morphology and thermal properties of the mesoporous Nb2O5

A series of commercial dental composites curable by visible light have been investigated and compared in terms of their photoreactivity thanks to the photocalorimetry technique by using two different types of lamps, a conventional lamp (halogen lamp) from ESPE and a plasma lamp, Apollo 98E manufactured by DMDS. In terms of kinetics, dental composites cure in just a few seconds with plasma lamp compared to 20-40 s with halogen lamp allowing dentists to save time.
