Surface treatment of the fillers was conducted by Ion Assisted Reaction (IAR), in which Ar+ ion beam is irradiated on the filler surface with energy of 1keV, dose varied from 1x1014 ~ 5x1016 Ar+ ions/cm2 by using Cold Hollow Cathode type ion source and oxygen gas 5-10ml/sec. After the surface treatment, the BN powder were spontaneously dispersed into polar solvent in a visual observation which means the modified surface was changed from hydrophobic to hydrophilic, and the powder were easily mixed with a viscous epoxy resin until 40wt% without thinner (a gelation phenomenon with easy blending into the epoxy resin), but the untreated powder exhibits difficulty in mixing with epoxy resin without the thinner. XPS analysis showed oxygen functional groups (B-ON, BN, etc.) were formed on the surface of BN. It was confirmed the surface modification has a high filling ability of the BN filler with binder and better adhesion with epoxy resin compared to the untreated BN filler.","PeriodicalId":507742,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science Forum","volume":" 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141824466","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}

Previous studies were focused on using strain gauges for mechanical monitoring with some limited success due to the size and the local nature of the measurement. The Digital Image Correlation (DIC) method has proven to be a valuable tool for noncontact, full-field strain measurements in various materials, including rocks which are natural and heterogeneous materials. After a prior phase of optimization involving texture acquisition and lighting conditions, this paper compares several DIC software programs to achieve consistent results on soft limestone specimens. Once the DIC program is chosen, a focus is made on detecting heterogeneities in the stone specimens. The occurrence of such heterogeneities explains why strain gauge measurement sometimes fails when applied to soft and natural materials.","PeriodicalId":507742,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science Forum","volume":" 47","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141825397","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}

Studies show that it is an efficient and practical tool to combat the ill effects of urbanization. Installing a green roof system involves growing vegetation on rooftops and is used as a tool to help mitigate the negative effects of pollution. Green roofs may not act as cooling devices but obviously serve as heat insulation, reducing the heat flux through the roof. In this study, the proponents explore possibilities in developing a green roof system by utilizing wood-plastic materials to create soil trays where roof grass can be cultured and can be interconnected on roof areas. The study highlights the properties of the materials to be utilized in the design of soil trays, the schematic design of the wood-plastic soil tray composite (wpstc) and the green roof design for efficiency and functionality test were also presented. The physical and mechanical properties of the polymerized coir-wood boards for soil trays were assessed by determining its water absorption, thickness swelling, modulus of rupture and impact strength.

It investigates the connection strength and mechanism between thermosetting carbon fiber reinforced composites and metal materials, as well as between thermoplastic carbon fiber reinforced composites and metal materials. The study includes shear tests and metallographic tests to analyze the two types of connections. The experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of using the FDS process for composite materials and metal materials. It is found that the FDS process is more suitable for connecting thermoplastic composites and metal materials compared to thermosetting composites and metal. This type of connection exhibits a smaller damage range at the interface and allows the thermoplastic matrix to effectively fill the threaded connection area after heating. Additionally, the micro-mechanical interlocks generated at the laminate interface can effectively increase the connection strength.","PeriodicalId":507742,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science Forum","volume":" 36","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141827356","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 decreased quality of concrete during the recycling process can be modified by several methods of which, strengthening the aggregate skeleton in the volume of concrete is an ideal option. In the present work, Compressible Packing Model (CPM) of particle packing methodologies is adopted for aggregate gradation and design of concrete mixes. Hardened and durability properties of a 30 MPa concrete designed using CPM method is being investigated. The deterioration in concrete is analysed using Image analysis. The Hue, Saturation and Intensity are the parameters picked from the surface images of concrete cubes exposed to four chemical species viz., HCl, H2SO4, NaCl and MgSO4 for 28 days. CPM method improves the properties of multi recycled concrete with increased packing density of recycled aggregate. The image-based deterioration studies provided a new insight into estimating the durability performance of concrete subjected to attack of various chemical species.","PeriodicalId":507742,"journal":{"name":"Materials Science Forum","volume":" 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141827916","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}
