Development and Characterization of Phosphate Glass Fibers and Their Application in the Reinforcement of Polyester Matrix Composites.

This study focused on the production and characterization of phosphate glass fibers (PGF) for application as composite reinforcement. Phosphate glasses belonging to the system 52PO24CaO13MgO (11-(X + Y)) KOXFeOYTiO (X:1, 3, 5) and (Y:0.5, 1) were elaborated and converted to phosphate glass fibers.

L.: A New Promising Source of Bioactive Compounds with Antioxidant and Anticancer Potentials.

L. (), called Esparto grass, is a cultivated species used for industrial purposes, including textile production. This species has never been studied for its medical potential before, nor has it been used in traditional medicines.

Micro- and nano-structures of cellulose from eggplant plant (Solanum melongena L) agricultural residue.

Currently, agriculture sector produces enormous quantity of residues, creating severe environmental problems. These agricultural residues are rich in lignocellulosic fibers, making them sustainable sources to produce high added-value materials. This investigation aims to transform the eggplant plant residue (EPR) into purified cellulose microfibers (CMF) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC).

Development and potential performance of prepolymer in corrosion inhibition for carbon steel in 1.0 M HCl: Outlooks from experimental and computational investigations.

Diglycidyl amino benzene (DGAB) epoxy prepolymer was investigated using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Then, we highlighted the usefulness of DGAB epoxy prepolymer to improve the resistance of carbon steel (CS) in hydrochloric acid (1.0 M HCl) using weight loss (WL), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), density functional theory (DFT) and complexation calculations, molecular dynamics (MD) and meansquaredisplacement (MSD) simulations.

Development rheological and anti-corrosion property of epoxy polymer and its composite.

Epoxy polymer, namely, decaglycidyl pentamethylene dianiline of phosphorus (DGPMDAP) was synthesized in three steps. The synthesis of epoxy polymer DGPMDAP was investigated by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, rheological analysis, scanning electron microscope (SEM), stationary and transient electrochemical methods (PDP and EIS), respectively. The rheological properties of composite (DGPMDAP/MDA/TiO) without and with different percentages of titanium dioxide (0%, 5%, 10% and 15%) increase with both the increase in frequency and with rate of load of titanium dioxide.

Epoxy pre-polymers as new and effective materials for corrosion inhibition of carbon steel in acidic medium: Computational and experimental studies.

Present study is designed for the synthesis, characterization and corrosion inhibition behavior of two diamine aromatic epoxy pre-polymers (DAEPs) namely, N,N,N,N-tetrakis (oxiran-2-ylmethyl) benzene-1,2-diamine (DAEP1) and 4-methyl-N,N,N,N-tetrakis (oxiran-2-ylmethyl) benzene-1,2-diamine (DAEP2) for carbon steel corrosion in acidic medium. Synthesized DAEPs were characterized using spectral (Nuclear magnetic resonance (H NMR) and Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflection (FTIR-ATR)) techniques. Viscosity studies carried out at four different temperatures (20-80 °C) increase in temperature causes significant reduction in their viscosities.
