The influence of mechano-ultrasonic activation (MUA) and nano-additives (carbon nanotubes-CNT) on the interaction pathway nickel–aluminum powder mixture at high heating rates was investigated. optimum conditions activation, along with phase structure formation peculiarities nickel–aluminum–carbon nanotubes mixtures by thermal analysis method, so-called high-speed temperature scanner (HSTS), wer...

Everyone who drinks bottled water contributes at least 17 kg to the post-consumer poly(ethylene terephthalate) (W-PET) accelerating accumulation of waste plastics (WP) that already have an annual rate increase ~4.5%. Disposals W-PET mimics a pseudo-renewable resource WP, creates many recycling and economic opportunities. This work presents method reduces burden on environment while saves energy...

Surfactants such as quaternary ammonium salts (QAS) have been in increasing demand, for emerging new applications. Recent attempts at process intensification of their production disclosed the need a better understanding QAS thermal stability. This work aims to determine degradation kinetics various QASs and associated solvent effects. The four methyl carbonate were determined polar solvents sta...

Isothermal and dynamic methodologies were used to study the thermal degradation of 8 novel fatty acid anion-based ionic liquids (FAILs): methyltrioctylammonium hexanoate [N8,8,8,1][C6:0], octanoate [N8,8,8,1][C8:0], tetrahexylammonium [N6,6,6,6][C8:0], laurate [N8,8,8,1][C12:0], palmitate [N8,8,8,1][C16:0], [N6,6,6,6][C16:0], stearate [N8,8,8,1][C18:0] oleate [N8,8,8,1][C18:1]. The stability th...

Fe-rich soft magnetic alloys are candidates for applications as sensors and actuators. Spring magnets can be obtained when these added to hard compounds. In this work, two nanocrystalline Fe-Zr-B-Cu produced by mechanical alloying, MA. The increase in boron content favours the reduction of crystalline size. Thermal analysis (by differential scanning calorimetry) shows that, temperature range co...
