High hardness in the biocompatible intermetallic compound β-Ti3Au

The search for new hard materials is often challenging, but strongly motivated by the vast application potential such materials hold. Ti3Au exhibits high hardness values (about four times those of pure Ti and most steel alloys), reduced coefficient of friction and wear rates, and biocompatibility, all of which are optimal traits for orthopedic, dental, and prosthetic applications. In addition, ...

EPDM/modified halloysite nanocomposites

EPDM Membrane Production: Materials and Manufacturing Processes

Because these reactive sites are pendant (not part of the main backbone chain) there are no weak points on the main chain. This is unlike for example Natural Rubber or SBR, where these necessary reactive sites are along the main chain. This means that reactive entities in the atmosphere (for example Ozone, which is very aggressive) can easily attack and degrade these materials. This also explai...

evaluation of epdm addition in nr/br compound by reactive mixing

improvements in the properties of ordinary sidewall compound (nr/br) with the addition of epdm by reactive processing method were evaluated. the results show that ozone resistance of these sidewalls was improved with increased addition of epdm. also the tensile strength and elongation-at-break were increased in comparison with nrbrepdm compounds that were made by non-reactive processing. sem ph...
