Therefore, this study is performed to further investigate the mechanical properties of straw reinforced unfired (Ufb) and fired bricks (Fb) as building blocks. In this capstone, bricks with the dimensions 40 x 10 x 20 cm were prepared with addition of increasing amounts of straw (0%, 5%, 10% and 15% in wt.). Height samples were compacted; four of them were dried and for other samples were fired at 1050 °C. All the bricks samples were characterized to determine their technological properties. The results for Ufb indicate that bulk density, flexural strength and compressive strength increased up to 10% of straw in the brick formulations and decreased at 15% of addition. At the same time, linear shrinkage, water absorption and porosity decreased slightly with the addition of straw. Hence clay brick containing 10 %wt. % additives showed the best results, the increase starts to have the reversed effect when its percentage is increased beyond this level. For Fb samples results showed that only the porosity increased with straw addition, values of the other parameters decreased with this addition. The addition of straw reinforces the strength of the unfired bricks and enhances the mechanical properties of the composite up to 10% of addition. However addition of straw just increased the porosity of fired brick. Therefore, using clay with addition to straw will represent a good ecological, low energy waste solution to the construction problems as well as recycling constraints. Moreover, no firing use less energy consumption as well and gives more solids bricks for building construction.","PeriodicalId":372397,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials and Polymer Science","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122204154","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}

In order for plastic (polymer) packaging to be used for heat sterilization and guarantee long shelf life of food products, it must contain the necessary heat-resistant barrier layer, which will ensure the resistance of the container to high temperatures. Each polymeric material has certain indicators of heat resistance. In the work, we used such types of consumer packaging for food packaging, such as a combined metal can with a polymer lid, С-PET containers. The purpose of the study is to develop the conditions for canning, sterilization modes of food products in the range for new types of consumer polymer for specific thermal equipment. When using various types of containers for thermal sterilization and prevention of physical defects of canned food, it is necessary to take into account such technological features as the sealing strength or depressurization pressure, the sealing method, the presence or absence of a stiffness relief on the lid, the product packaging temperature and other factors. The standard membrane-compensation method was used to measure the sealing strength or the pressure of depressurization of the container, which occurs during sterilization due to thermal expansion of the product. The development of sterilization modes for canned food was carried out in accordance with the approved regulations, which includes an analytical calculation of the mode that ensures the production of industrially sterile canned food, laboratory testing of the selected mode and its production verification. The mode calculation method is based on the data on the heat resistance of the microorganism strain of the test culture, which should guarantee the industrial sterility of canned food. In the work, studies were carried out, as a result of which data were obtained on an important technological parameter of the packaging strength of sealing, without the values of which it is impossible to carry out high-quality thermal sterilization of the product. Scientifically based parameters, hightemperature sterilization regimes for meat, fish, and vegetable products in modern polymer types of consumer packaging have also been developed, which will allow enterprises to produce canned high-quality food products that are safe to use, with high nutritional value.","PeriodicalId":372397,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials and Polymer Science","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129696978","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 formulation of sustainable, economical, and greener supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) is an ongoing phenomenon, attracting the large-scale attention of industry/ academia. The formulation of ferrock by David Stone with low embodied energy, lower consumption of natural resources and minimal global warming potential has paved the way for the use of novel material comprising iron powder, pozzolans (pulverised fly ash (PFA) and metakaolin (MK) and lime exhibiting at par performance with OPC. However, a gap has been identified in its formulation, raising a further research question on how it will perform if PFA and MK are replaced by ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) or other pozzolans like silica fume (SF) etc., with different mix ratios. Therefore, an endeavour has been made in this study to identify the engineering properties with sustainable use of modified binary and ternary pozzolans/ GGBS in place of 20% PFA in conventional ferrock.\u0000\u0000The conventional ferrock contains 8% MK and 20% PFA (as binary pozzolans), 60% iron powder, 12% lime and 2% oxalic acid (set 1). An effort has been made to formulate the different mixes of 10,20,30,40 and 50% by keeping 60% iron powder, 12% lime, 8% MK and 2% oxalic acid constant but replacing 20% PFA with 20% GGBS (set 2), with 10%PFA+10%GGBS (set 3) and with 10%PFA+10%SF (set 4). A target compressive strength of C32/40 or M40 concrete was selected for this study to achieve and compare results with the control mix (0% ferrock) and conventional ferrock during the experimental investigation of modified novel materials. 10-20% ratios of modified mixes exhibited the best performance and achieved the threshold strength of 60 MPa of high-strength cement concrete. Maximum compressive strength of 65 MPa was achieved by the 10% mix of set 2 (20% GGBS), followed by 20% mix ratios of set 3 (10%PFA+10%GGBS) and set 4 (10%PFA+10%SF), achieving 64 MPa. Whereas the 10% mix of the conventional ferrock (set1) reached 63 MPa strength, and the control mix with no ferrock gained 57 MPa strength at 56 days of curing. Overall, an increase of 2-13% compressive strength was observed with10- 30% mixes of all the SCMs; however, a decrease of 3-27% was observed with 40-50% use of SCMs. The use of iron powder increased the ductility of ferrock-based SCMs mixes and exhibited more flexural strength. Set 3 performed the best in exhibiting up to 5.8 MPa flexural strength, followed by set 4, set 2 and lastly, set 1 of conventional ferrock. 20% and 30% mix ratios exhibited flexural strength of more than 5% MPa, better than 10% and 40/ 50% mixes. The study supports the use of 10-20% ferrock-based SCMs for high-strength concrete and 10-50% for concrete mixes with a target strength of C32/40 or M40 to ","PeriodicalId":372397,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Materials and Polymer Science","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127456250","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}
