Article Synopsis
- EPDM is a synthetic rubber known for its excellent thermal and chemical resistance, making it a popular choice across various industries.
- The integration of nanotechnology allows for the addition of nanomaterials into EPDM matrices, enhancing its properties such as tensile strength and chemical resistance while preserving flexibility.
- This study reviews how various nanostructures affect the mechanical, thermal, and electrical characteristics of EPDM composites, aiming to inform ongoing and future research in the field of synthetic rubber nanocomposites.
Article Synopsis
- Biocomposites are eco-friendly materials made from natural fibers, like jute, and are seen as sustainable alternatives in the polymer industry to reduce environmental impact.
- This study tested both untreated and alkaline-treated jute fibers in natural rubber for use in shoe counter soles, finding that treated fibers improved tensile strength while maintaining flexibility.
- The resulting composites showed promising properties for various applications, including construction, automotive, and footwear, and could help lower carbon footprints thanks to their innovative materials.
Objectives: Many psychiatrists, and other providers alike, find difficulty integrating a culture-centered approach to clinical practice and navigating the challenges when they arise. We call attention to the ongoing challenges of addressing the cultural barriers between patient and physician.
Methods: We present a case of an African patient with a rare case of Fahr's syndrome whose clinical diagnostic course was complicated by culture and language barriers.
In this study, we determined the Cr(VI) in samples of tanned leather residues by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) using graphite/paraffin composite electrodes modified with reduced graphene oxide nanosheets (referred to as GPEs/nsRGO). After the modification, the composite electrodes were characterized by two electrochemical techniques (i.e.
