Anhydrides-Cured Bimodal Rubber-Like Epoxy Asphalt Composites: From Thermosetting to Quasi-Thermosetting

The present engineering practices show the potential that epoxy asphalt composites (EACs) would be a better choice to obtain long life for busy roads. To understand the service performance–related thermorheological properties of prepared bimodal anhydrides-cured rubber-like EACs (REACs), a direct tensile tester, dynamic shear rheometer and mathematical model were used. Tensile tests demonstrate...

Thermal comfort and personal protective equipment (PPE).

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is considered the last preferred solution to an Occupational Safety Health (OSH) system. Brazilian OSH legislation assumes and requires PPE usage to neutralize the possibility of pesticide contamination. This study examines the inadequacy of the PPE used in a tomato crop, particularly from the standpoint of thermal comfort. This study made observations regard...

Software Parts for Elliptic PPE Software

We examine the question or whether very high level elliptic prob· lem solvers can be built (in theory or in practice) from a collection of software parts. In theory the answer is yes. in current practice the answer is no. because most of the required software parts are missing. The "levels" of software parts needed are identified and their contents outlined. There are isolated collections of pa...

New Insights into Structure - Property Relationships in Thermosetting Polymers from

Studies of the physical properties of the co-cured networks formed from three similar dicyanate ester monomers revealed a number of unexpected variations from simple linear mixing rules. These variations shed light on important synergistic effects in co-cured thermosetting networks and their possible causes. The monomers utilized were the dicyanate esters of Bisphenol A (BADCy), Bisphenol E (LE...
