Soil burial test comprises of placing samples in soil/ compost for long durations and testing the mechanical properties/dimensional changes/ morphology before and after soil burial. In a bioreactor, samples are placed in ...

Due to their large deformation, rubber-like materials are used in many industrial applications. However, few studies are available in the literature on the classification of rubber-like materials, their mechanical properties ...

Electrodeposition polyaniline (PANI) and polyaniline doped (PANI-MoO4-2) coatings on steel was prepared in oxalic acid solution by potentiodynamic polarization technique. Morphology of the surface coatings was analyzed by ...

The objective of this work is to develop and characterize a composite material with a polyvinyl chloride matrix and filler of plant origin, common reed flour. The filler is obtained by grinding and sieving. The composites ...

Propolis is a natural bee substance and resinous material produced from various plants, which showed important biological activities. The current study aims to evaluate and validate simultaneous methods of identification ...

The synthetic chemical ointments produced by the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries cause irritations and skin diseases. For this reason, the present work aims to prepare ointments based on two vegetable plants belonging ...

This study is part of the recovery and mechanical recycling of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste, which is an abundant deposit due to its use in the packaging sector. Mixtures were prepared by melting, the effect of ...

The purpose of manufacturing a composite material is to take advantage of the recognized properties of each component in order to build one that will be better suited to certain applications. A composite is a material that ...

The aging of materials is a degradation or a slow evolution of the properties of the material resulting from its intrinsic instability or caused by more or less aggressive external factors. Based on the literature, ...

Within the framework of sustainable growth, the use of biodegradable polymers as an alternative to synthetic polymers seems to be the best solution that could resolve waste disposal problems. The aim of this work was to ...
