Wax-based additives can be added to crumb rubber modified bitumen (CRMB) at different stages enhance the workability. This study aims optimize preparation procedure by investigating effects of on rheological properties CRMB containing wax-based and interaction mechanism. Rubber swelling tests under various conditions were conducted examine temperature process. Rheological thermal characterizati...

Rheological characteristics of powder injection molding PIM feedstocks play an important role in final properties of manufactured MMCs. In this study, six formulations composed of magnesium and SiC powder (99:1 wt.%) and a specific binder  were prepared to investigate the influence of binder composition, powder to binder ratio, time and temperature on rheological properties of the feedstock. Th...

Prestorage heat treatment appears to be a promising method of postharvest control of decay. Heat treatments against pathogens may be applied to fresh harvested commodities by hot water dips, by vapour heat, by hot dry air or by a very short hot water rinse and brushing. Heat treatments have a direct effect slowing germ tube elongation or of inactivating or outright killing germinating spores, t...

Although films of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) have good oxygen barrier properties due to its fine network structure, properties strongly deteriorate after absorption of water. In this work, a new approach has been followed for actively tuning the water resistance of a MFC fiber network by the inclusion of dispersed organic nanoparticles with encapsulated plant wax. The modified pulp suspen...

the potential indoor air impacts of burning candles have drawn increased attention in recent years.  burning paraffin waxes itself, regardless to wick and the essence, produce some allergens and even carcinogenic compounds. further biorefining of petroleum paraffin wax with proper bacteria is one of the proposed resolutions to decrease the health threat. therefore in this study iranian heavy cr...
