X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy coupled with EDS and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry were used. The results show that the soil is composed of kaolinite, illite, chlorite and intermediate layers of rutile-quartz-hematite. Although the sand content of the soil is less than the minimum of 30% and the compressive strength is CS (3.89 MPa), termite mound soil can be used to make adobe bricks or compressed earth bricks. Termite mound soil is very consistent and impermeable, making it ideal for earthworks. Despite its CBR (33%), the soil contains 7.2% organic matter, well above the 2.5% standard for use as a pavement sub base layer. The soil has an Ac activity (0.603) and a 75% fines content, so lime would be better suited to this soil than cement in the process of improving mechanical properties. X-ray fluorescence analysis shows that the major elements are alumina and silica, which make up the soil's skeleton. The presence of alumina in the soil causes it to swell, which may limit its use in road construction. The presence of Al, Mg and Fe proves the respective existence of aluminum, magnesium and iron oxides in the soil.

However, it is observed, like all starchy materials, that it is very hydrophilic and its behavior depends on its water content. This is explained by the attachment of water molecules to the hydroxyl groups of starch via hydrogen bonds. The barrier to water absorption has been reinforced by the incorporation of natural hydraulic lime of the NHL-3.5 type. This study aims to contribute to the knowledge of the water behavior of starch-based composite films. Here, it is the study of the diffusion and absorption of water vapor in a biofilm made of cassava starch reinforced with coconut fibers. To do this, we carried out tests on the sample which made it possible to obtain measurements concerning the hydric behavior of the material. Two approaches were used to evaluate these phenomena under well-defined conditions. The two methods contribute to the same result for the hydric behavior of the composite. The value of the diffusion coefficient obtained is 0.723.10-3 mm2/d. The results obtained are convergent and consistent with those obtained in the literature.","PeriodicalId":14116,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Materials Science and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136363839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tungsten carbide (WC) has recently been utilized as a cutting tool in the machining industry and in dental machining applications. To obtain high-quality diamond films and achieve good adhesion on a WC substrate, diamond films are synthesized on a WC substrate by the flame combustion method. However, the surface roughness of most of the diamond films synthesized by this method increased, and it was necessary to reduce this roughness. Considering the roughness accuracy of the workpiece surface during cutting, and the performance of the cutting tool, a smaller surface roughness of the diamond films synthesized is desirable. In this study, to reduce surface roughness, the amount of diamond paste with diamond seed particles as generation nuclei was carefully varied for diamond seed attachment processing of diamond films. When diamond films were synthesized on the WC substrate surface via the flame combustion, the amount of diamond paste with diamond seed particles affected the surface morphology and surface roughness of the synthesized diamond films. Furthermore, to investigate the reason for this result, generation of nuclei on the substrate in the initial stages of synthesis and diamond seed particles on the substrate surface after the seeding treatment were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The effect of diamond seed attachment processing on the diamond films synthesized by flame combustion was studied. The relationship between the surface roughness, number of diamond generation nuclei on the substrate in the initial stages of synthesis, number of diamond particles on the substrate after the diamond seeding process, and amount of diamond paste were confirmed.","PeriodicalId":14116,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Materials Science and Applications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78065067","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
