The epoxy based polymer composites are produced with resin and FA as mineral additive. Mixtures of different ratio by replacing the FA were added to the resin from 0 to 30% by weight. Polymeric samples were cured in air conditioning and they were taken from the molds after 24 hours. Polymeric samples gain ultimate strength after 7 days. Therefore, abrasion tests were performed on 7 aged specimens. Abrasion characteristics of polymer composites were defined by pin-on-disc test for 500 m under a dry friction condition and room temperature. Three types of loading conditions were carried out as 5, 10, 15 and 30 N. The hardness and wear resistance values increased with the increase in the content of fly ash. Showing the relationship between wear rate and hardness, an equation with parameters dependent on load was provided. There was an increase in the friction coefficient with an increase in the surface roughness values. In addition, dynamic friction was as a function of the wear rate. The wear surfaces of the polymer composites were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. It was observed that the wear rate of the polymer composites and pure epoxy samples ranged from 17.82 to 172.96 mm3/Nm.

The Al-Si alloy has been studied in its three different states (original, modified, and modified with a grain refiner), using a magnetic stirring equipment with permanent magnets, a device that has allowed the study of the effect of the rotational speed (degree of stirring) on the micro- and macro- solidification structure, as well as on the material’s mechanical properties. With the purpose of validating the hypothesis, different analyses and tests have been carried out, such as thermal analysis of the solidification process, micro- and macrostructural analysis, and hardness measurements for the different process conditions studied. The results have shown that magnetic stirring affects the cooling curves, expanding the solidification range. A microstructural evolution of the alloys has also been observed, from a 100% dendritic structure to a mature rosette type structure, in addition to a notable decreasing of grain size, which results in the improvement of the material’s mechanical behavior.

The analyses showed that the chemical patterning approach using a combination of concentrated acid and oxidant was able to generate a nanotexture on dense and porous titanium surfaces. In addition, the treated samples presented an oxide layer consisting predominantly of titanium dioxide with negative charge conferred by the presence of hydroxyl groups, which is an important factor that favors apatite nucleation and protein adsorption. It was also observed that oxide formation was more effective on porous samples than on dense samples, which can be explained by the higher surface area intrinsic to porous media. Finally, the findings indicated that both treatment times promoted similar modifications in surface properties, such as nanotexture and chemical composition, suggesting that the time of 2 hours were enough to induce the surface alterations at the nanoscale.

In this work the association of the saponin from Glycyrrhiza glabra with a matrix of multi-walled carbon nanotubes was promoted to obtain a composite material with improved functional characteristics. For this investigation, chemically modified electrodes (CME) based on carbon paste were developed. Firstly, a carbon paste electrode (CPE) modified with the addition of saponin (SAP) was developed. For the electrochemical optimization of this system, CPE/SAP, studies were carried out using cyclic voltammetry. The determination of parameters such as formal potential (Eo) and potential separation (ΔE) indicated that the saponin used as a carbon paste modifying agent generated a matrix that favors the transfer of electrons even at low applied potentials. The second step was performed by preparing the modified carbon paste electrode with the carbon nanotube matrix (CPE/CNT). This material, surprisingly, showed a redox pair probably due to the presence of iron atoms from the preparation method, something very beneficial for the purposes of this work. Next the saponin was associated to the carbon nanotube matrix in order to investigate the behavior of the hybrid material formed (CPE/SAP-CNT), which evidenced a significant improvement in the electron transfer process when the saponin interacts with the carbon nanotube matrix, increasing the anodic peak current by more than 3.6 times in relation to the CPE/SAP and 2.1 times when compared to the CPE/CNT. Another important issue concerns the stability of the systems, with the saponin associated with the carbon nanotube matrix presenting significantly improved stability, being able to be used for more than 8 hours or 200 voltammetric cycles with loss of signal of the order of only 2%, while the CPE/SAP showed a 60% loss of signal under the same conditions of use.

The scientific and industry community are paying more attention to new forms of carbon such as nanotubes, graphene, and activated carbon fiber. The purpose of this work is to convert human hair into a hollow carbon filament to be used as a supercapacitor electrode. The human hair needs 3 stages to be converted into carbon filament: textile manufacture, oxidation, and carbonization.
