Abstract In this work, polypropylene (PP)/carboxylated acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (XNBR) binary blends were prepared with the elastomer component dosed in its suspension (latex) form into polymer matrix during melt compounding. For purpose, samples containing 0-20 wt.% using two different PP grades as matrices lower and higher viscosity. Analogous reference same composition also fabricated ...

This study focused on the mechanical and morphological properties of lignocellulosic heritage textiles (cotton hemp) made using eco-friendly salvia thyme microencapsulated essential oils, characterized by low toxicity for humans environment. A evaluation tested fabrics was performed scanning electron microscopy. The ATR–FTIR spectra untreated treated fabric samples were Perkin Elmer, Spectrum 3...

Effect of different fillers on natural rubber compounds was investigated through curing, mechanical properties and morphology studies for improving mechanical performance of rubber articles. In this work, natural rubber blends with Silica as Single-filler compounds, and blends with Silica and Carbon black as Bi-filler compounds were considered. Then, natural rubber blends with Silica, Carbon bl...

evaluation of mechanical and electrical properties of agricultural products plays an important role in equipment design and optimizing post-harvest operations. among the crops, tomato and its products are the major processing industries in the world and its economic importance is increasing. considering the importance of the quality and various post harvesting uses of tomato, the evaluation of ...
