In the current work, a newly-developed organic nucleating agent named N, N -bis(2-picolinyl) 1, 4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid dihydrazide (NCAPH) was synthesized to investigate its effects on PLLA�s crystallization and melting behaviors. It is proved that NCAPH as an organic crystallization nucleating agent could provide large number of crystallization nucleation sites to improve PLLA�s crystallization, as observed from DSC and POM measurements. The result from melt-crystallization processes further showed that the final melting temperature and cooling rate were two important factors for affecting PLLA�s melt-crystallization behaviors in cooling, and the theoretical calculation result of frontier orbital energy indicated there existed probable intermolecular interaction between N-H of NCAPH and C=O of PLLA, which was proposed as nucleation mechanism of NCAPH for promoting PLLA�s crystallization. The melting behaviors of PLLA/NCAPH after non-isothermal crystallization or isothermal crystallization further confirmed the positive effects of NCAPH and NCAPH�s loading for the crystallization of PLLA, meantime, the melting behaviors depended on the heating rate, crystallization temperature, crystallization time, etc.\u0000","PeriodicalId":18360,"journal":{"name":"Materiale Plastice","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45797454","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}

This work investigated the potential engineering benefits of applying simply crushed recycled epoxy resin-based fiber reinforced plastic in structural concrete. In this paper, the mixing and mechanical properties of concrete products with crushed and recycled waste epoxy plates instead of some fine aggregate were studied experimentally. Three kinds of recycled crushing materials with different particle sizes below 4mm, 4mm to 9mm, and 9mm were used to prepare 10 groups of concrete samples with different proportions by replacing sand with 5, 10, and 15% volumes, respectively. The results showed that the density of the recycled plastic concrete was reduced and the slump of the concrete was increased, with the increase of the recycled crushing materials, and the mechanical properties of concrete were improved within the 5%-10% admixture, and the best results of comprehensive mechanical properties were achieved when the admixture was 10% and the particle size was 4-9mm. These results indicated that it is feasible to replace concrete fine aggregates with recycled crushing materials of waste epoxy plate, and this study not only explores a new way to recycle waste epoxy resin-based fiber reinforced plastic, but also reduces the over-exploitation of sand natural resources, which have a high social and economic value.\u0000","PeriodicalId":18360,"journal":{"name":"Materiale Plastice","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43625114","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 purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Si/Ca ratio on the mechanical properties of Nb-Bi-Ce doped polymer-infiltrated fluorapatite ceramic networks (PICNs) produced from clam shell (CS) and soda lime silicate (SLS) glass by conventional melt-quench technique, used as a dental ceramic. PICNs comprising Si/Ca at four different weight percentage ratios: 1.27% (PICN-1), 2.15% (PICN-2), 4.12% (PICN-3) and 12.6% (PICN-4) were prepared (n=10). The powder mixtures in four different ratios were compressed in a rectangular prism shaped mold and subjected to equal pressure from all sides in a cold isostatic press, followed by heat treatment at 750C for 3 h. Then complete vacuum infiltration was done with a polymer mixture then low temperature firing was applied leading to the formation of the PICNs. Wear behavior and 3-point bending properties were evaluated and specimens were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The friction and wear properties were determined by means of a pin-on-disk tribotester. Since the flexural strength test did not show normal distribution, Kruskal Wallis test was performed in independent groups, p[0.05. There is a significant difference of flexural strength values between the groups (p=0.032), it was determined that the difference was between the PICN-1 and PICN-4 groups (p=0.037). In the analysis of wear scar, abrasion grooves were also observed. The results of this study showed that high Ca and Si content in CS and SLS glass, respectively, encourages the use of waste materials in the production of PICNs intended to be used in prosthetic rehabilitation. The composition of PICNs produced from waste materials affected flexural strength and wear behavior. Increasing the Si/Ca ratio was found to support the mechanical properties of experimental PICN and that experimental PICNs can be considered as high potential candidates for dental applications.\u0000","PeriodicalId":18360,"journal":{"name":"Materiale Plastice","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42527323","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}
