in many processes polymeric foams can be produced by using chemical or physical blowing agents. in this work for polyethylene foam production, the chemical blowing agents and compression moulding process were employed. at first, by using dsc diagram of two polyethylene grades, a suitable polyethylene grade was selected for foam production and then we discuss about blowing agent critical percent...

In the title compound, C20H20N4O2·H2O, the planes of the phen-oxy and phthalo-nitrile rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 60.39 (5)°. The 3-(di--methyl-amino)-propyl chain has an extended conformation and is cis with respect to the phthalo-nitrile ring. In the crystal, O-H⋯O, O-H⋯N and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules to form slabs parallel to (100). There are also C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N...

The present work was aimed to examine the effects of incorporation of each of two different types of nanoclay, i.e. Cloisite Na+ and Cloisite 30B, into PVA foam on cellular morphology and water absorption capacity. Foam samples containing 0.0-10.0 wt% of each of the two types of nanoclay alone were prepared using mechanical foaming. Accordingly, PVA/organoclay/water suspensions were prepare...

The title compound, C(7)H(4)BrNO, crystallizes with two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The two molecules exhibit nearly linear C-C N nitrile bond angles of 179.1 (4) and 177.1 (4)°. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked into a one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded chain by inter-actions between the phenol H atom and the nitrile N atom [N⋯O = 2.805 (4) and 2.810 (4) Å].

In the mononuclear title complex, [CuI(CH3CN)(C18H15P)2], the Cu(I) ion is in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry, coordinated by two P atoms of two tri-phenyl-phosphane ligands, one N atom of an aceto-nitrile ligand and one iodide anion. The aceto-nitrile ligand is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.629 (15): 0.371 (15) ratio. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯I hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules, ...

This investigation presents the effect of various parameters on foam stability and its rheological properties. The underlying idea of this experiment is generating of drilling foam with uniform bubbles. The main problem of foam using is controlling its stability during field application. The most important parameters which cause Instability in foam are gravity drainage, gas diffusion and bu...

The goal of this study was improvement of sandy soil using a combination of polystyrene foam container waste and Portland cement. For this purpose, Babolsar sand was used as the base soil. Strips of disposable polystyrene foam container waste in “chips” of 50 ´ 5 mm and 50 ´ 10 mm were added to the soil at 0.0%, 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3% by weight along with 3% Portland cement at a relative density o...

A series of carbapenems containing novel C-2 semisaturated heterocyclic substituents were synthesised by 1,3 dipolar cycloaddition reactions of nitrile oxides, nitrile imines and a nitrone to 2-vinylcarbapenem. The isoxazoline and isoxazolidine compounds showed potent antibacterial activity but moderate stability to human dehydropeptidase 1 (DHP-1). Stability to DHP-1 was improved by methyl sub...

abstract: this paper presents the results of studies concerned with the preparation of fresh food foams based on egg white and various hydrocolloids including iranian gum tragacanth, guar and xanthan gums at different concentrations (0.002-0.040% w/w). the basic physical parameters of the obtained foams such as overrun, stability and morphology of gas bubbles were measured. viscosity measuremen...
