The worn surfaces after dry sliding of a steel pin on a disk, for 10 km, at constant velocity (0.5 m/s, 1 m/s and 1.5 m/s) and under an average pressure of 1 MPa. There were done two tests under the same conditions. On each worn track, there were investigated three surfaces of 500 μm x 500 μm with a contact profilometer. The number of points on the scan line was 200 points and the step between lines was 5μm. The following amplitude parameters were measured and calculated for assessed surfaces: the arithmetic mean deviation, Sa, the root mean square deviation, Sq, the maximum height of surface prominence, Sp, the maximum surface depth, Sv, the maximum height, St, the skewness factor, Ssk and the kurtosis, Sku. The discussed functional parameters are the reduced peak height, Spk, the height of the core of the surface, Sk and the depth of the valley zone, Svk. The comparison of their values makes posible to evaluate if the worn surface could function in a new running or the replacement of the component is recommended. Considering that machine components have intermittent operation, these worn surfaces becoming initial surfaces for the following cycle of contact operation. Based on the average values of amplitude and functional parameters, it was found that a relatively good surface quality is preserved for concentrations of 10...30%wt glass beads, for v=0.5...1 m/s (Sa and Sq having similar trend); for lower concentrations and for 50% glass beads, the parameter values increase but without identifying a distinct relationship with the working regime, especially for 2.5 and 5% glass beads.\u0000","PeriodicalId":18360,"journal":{"name":"Materiale Plastice","volume":"37 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139449564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the presence of aromatic amines in water, even at very low concentrations, is extremely harmful to aquatic life and human health. Pollution of natural waters by aromatic amines is a serious environmental concern. The aim of this work was to obtain new adsorbents for use in the removal of aromatic amines from aqueous solutions. Styrene-15%divinylbenzene copolymers grafted with aminophosphonate groups (code: AP-S15%DVB) and amino acid-phosphonate groups (code: AM-S15%DVB) were used for the removal of pollutants such as: aniline, 2-methyl-aniline and 4-methyl-aniline. The adsorption capacity and the adsorption kinetic using the pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order equations were examined. From a kinetic point of view, it was established that the adsorption of the studied amino derivatives on the used adsorbents took place according to the pseudo-second order model. It was found that the adsorption rate constant increased with the increase of temperature, so the speed of the adsorption process increased. The obtained results confirm that the polymer adsorbents studied can be successfully used for the removal of aromatic amino derivatives from aqueous solutions for the purpose of wastewater treatment.\u0000","PeriodicalId":18360,"journal":{"name":"Materiale Plastice","volume":"55 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139449940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, there has been significant attention towards organic coatings that effectively attenuate impact forces while simultaneously providing a barrier against corrosive agents. The thermosetting phenolic resin 2130, known for the facile curing process, exceptional thermal stability, water resistance, corrosion resistance, and superior mechanical properties post-curing, finds extensive applications in the field of coatings. To address the challenge of depositing a complete and uniform resin coating on complex workpieces, coatings with varying thicknesses on the surface of 304 stainless steel were deposited via rotary evaporation combined with long-term low-temperature drying. The relationship between coating thickness and mechanical properties, as well as corrosion resistance, was investigated and analyzed through a comprehensive approach involving mechanical testing, electrochemical analysis, and long-term service weight loss assessment. The results demonstrated that the coatings deposited on the metal surface exhibited excellent integrity and compactness. Moreover, an increase in coating thickness led to a significant reduction in material corrosion rate. The coatings exhibited excellent substrate adhesion and flexibility, thereby providing effective protection against impact on the metal substrate. The relationship between the thickness of the coating and the surface roughness was evident, while the flexibility of the coating first increased and then decreased with the increase of coating thickness. When the coating thickness was 7 μm, the maximum surface roughness of the coating measured 0.44 μm. Under these conditions, the impact toughness of the coating reached the peak, exhibiting a ductile fracture mode and showcasing superior comprehensive mechanical properties. The findings of this study will offer theoretical support for the investigation and formulation of resin coatings in subsequent industrial production.\u0000","PeriodicalId":18360,"journal":{"name":"Materiale Plastice","volume":"62 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139449731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this work is to link all the mechanical and thermal parameters during the treatment of molten polymer materials subjected to high-stress rates that can lead to significant temperature increases due to viscous heating in the order of 200�C. Predicting the temperature range is essential for good temperature control and is a major factor in determining the quality of the final product. This forces us to choose an adequate law of behavior, capable of translating the mechanical evolution under the thermal effect while explaining the rheological response of the viscoelastic metal.

Such phenomena explain the potential use of such composites as resonators/filters, and BT-PDMS composites should be further investigated for tailored applications in radiofrequency electronic field.
