Bioplastic was synthesized using the melt blending method by adding graphene in various amounts, which were 3 wt%, 5 wt%, and 7 wt%. Graphene was found to be able to increase the contact angle of the films up to 93° with the addition of 5 wt%. Graphene also affects water absorption properties. These results indicate that the hydrophobic properties of cassava peel starch films could be modified by adding graphene nanofiller.","PeriodicalId":18262,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science Forum","volume":"32 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141113599","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}

However, its chemical composition makes it prone to intermetallic phase precipitation during thermal processing. Sigma (σ), chi (χ), and chromium nitrides (Cr2N) remove Cr and Mo from the matrix, reducing the corrosion and mechanical resistance. Understanding the effects of thermal processing on the secondary phase’s precipitation and depletion of the material’s performance is crucial to its applications. Thus, this work aims to analyze the behavior of the corrosion performance of the UNS S32750 after thermal treatment at 800°C, for 60, 180, 300, and 420 minutes, in comparison to the as-received material. Optical emission spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, and SEM with backscattered electrons (BSE) were used to evaluate the material. The corrosion performance was evaluated with the cyclic potentiodynamic polarization technique. The main results and conclusions obtained in the study were a decomposition of the ferrite phase into the χ and σ phases, with the formation of the χ phase being predominant in shorter times, while for longer aging times σ formed in greater quantities. It was also possible to verify a more aggressive corrosion trend for aged samples in the regions adjacent to the formation of the χ and σ phases. It was also possible to observe that the losses generated in corrosion resistance were greater for aging times longer than 60 minutes. The aging treatment significantly reduced the material’s corrosion resistance in conjunction with the formation of precipitates.","PeriodicalId":18262,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science Forum","volume":"35 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140981385","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}

The present investigation focuses on the evaluation of HE effects regarding microstructure, mechanical properties degradation and type of fracture of AISI 1010 low-carbon steel, after accelerated hydrogen cathodic charging. Hydrogen was diffused electrolytically in 0.2 Μ H2SO4 solution, containing 3g/L of NH4SCN, using a cathodic current density of 10 and 20 mA/cm2, for 6 and 18 h. Mechanical properties were investigated through slow-rate tensile tests, as well as Charpy V-notch (CVN) impact tests, to determine the value of fracture toughness, both in uncharged and electrochemically pre-charged specimens. Vickers microhardness tests were conducted on the cross-sections of the hydrogen charged samples to evaluate embrittlement susceptibility, due to the presence of dissolved hydrogen. The microstructure modification was carried out through light optical (LOM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), in conjunction with an energy-dispersive X-ray detector (EDS). Slow scan X-ray diffraction (SSXRD) was also conducted for crystal structure analysis. The microstructure analysis showed the presence of large amounts of secondary cracks and cavities into the steel matrix, due to hydrogen diffusion and its accumulation at various sites. Hydrogen charging caused a significant gradual elongation decrease of the parent material, from 25% to 6.73%, in case of embrittlement at 20 mA/cm2 for 18h. Accordingly, after 18 h of exposure, the impact energy decrement was determined at 31.5%, at a current density of 10 mA/cm2, whereas the corresponding reduction at 20 mA/cm2 reached 68%.","PeriodicalId":18262,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science Forum","volume":"18 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140981992","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}

Conversely, systems FeSn, AlB, and AlSn demonstrate positive Gibbs free energy values, with the most negative observing at a molar fraction of 50% for Fe. These results have been corroborated through studies involving the mechanosynthesis of binary and ternary FeAl based alloys.

In this paper, 16 groups of indoor orthogonal experiments were carried out with fly ash and sludge as the components of vegetation substrate and tall fescue as the planting object to explore the influence of ecological slope protection substrate on vegetation growth. Based on the range analysis method, the three functions of substrate planting performance, mechanical properties and substrate properties were used as references, and the entropy weight method (EWM) was used to assign weights to the proportion of each index in the total score, and the ratio was optimized. The results show that the optimal substrate ratio is 10% sludge content, 30% fly ash, 4% cement, 6% fiber, 50% planting soil (the ratio of loess and peat soil is 1:3). Fly ash has a great influence on the height of plants and vegetation coverage, and has a significant effect on the internal friction angle and fertility of the substrate. Sludge mainly affects the growth height of plants and the pH value and fertility of the substrate.
