The major hindrance for any production industry in obtaining higher yield is the lack of achieving full material removal rate machine tools. If achieved, surface quality machined works will be compromised. An attempt was made this work to reduce compromise finish by integrating a plastic compliant damper that capable reducing effects unwanted vibrations generated during machining process. desig...

Rubber material generally behaves as an electrical insulator, but vapor-grown carbon fiber (VGCF) is known for its electrical conductivity. Thus, we compounded styrene-butadiene rubber and carbon nanofiber (VGCF), and studied the relationship between strain and the DC electrical resistivity of vulcanized rubber filled with carbon nanofiber. No change of hardness was observed in hardness tests. ...

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using open-source CAD modeling software, we developed a customizable prosthetic eye model. The eye can be customized within the following parameters: shape, height, length, width, thickness, concavity, iris diameter, and pupil diameter. The customization process is user friendly, requiring numeric inputs or parametric adjustments. The final model is exported and processed...

It is mainly the bulk properties of latex and ink oil that contribute to the observable differences in the ink setting dynamics rather than surface chemical wetting differences or changes in porous structure related to the inclusion of latex. It can be generalised that low latex solubility parameter (butadiene < styrene = acrylate < acrylonitrile) leads to greater oil interaction. Furthermore, ...

Abstract We prepared different thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) using an internal mixer. investigated the properties of polyurethanes (TPUs) produced from prepolymers with various isocyanate content and two chain extenders to select most appropriate TPU matrix for preparing vulcanizates (TPVs). Based on results, we selected a prepolymer moderate (10%) more flexible 1,6-hexanediol as extender TPV...

1,3-Butadiene is an important industrial chemical used in the production of synthetic rubber and is also found in gasoline and combustion products. It is a multispecies, multisite carcinogen in rodents, with mice being the most sensitive species. 1,3-Butadiene is metabolized to several epoxides that form DNA and protein adducts. Previous analysis of 1,2,3-trihydroxybutyl-valine globin adducts s...
