OBJECTIVE This study evaluated the effect of temperature and curing time on composite sorption and solubility. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seventy five specimens (8×2 mm) were prepared using a commercial composite resin (ICE, SDI). Three temperatures (10°C, 25°C and 60°C) and five curing times (5 s, 10 s, 20 s, 40 s and 60 s) were evaluated. The specimens were weighed on an analytical balance three ...

An active approach for initiating rigidization in carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites unites electrical resistivity to mechanical stiffening. Temperature control is implemented in efforts to reduce the curing time of the composite and to increase control of the curing process. Specifically, proportional-integral (PI) feedback control of internal resistive (Joule) heating establish...

in this paper , the effect of curing time and temperature as well as various primers on durability of high density polyethylene on plain carbon steel have been investigated. the aim is to increase adhesion, improve durability and also to produce a defect-free in order to improve the corrosion resistance of steel substrate. for this purpose, after surface preparation and applying a primer (zinc ...

Curing cycle has a strong impact on the thermal and mechanical behavior of thermosetting polymers. The extent of cross-linking which is a strong function of curing temperature and time is directly linked to the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the thermosetting polymer. This transition temperature speaks about the transformation of the polymer from glassy state to rubbery state, hence decid...

OBJECTIVES A Box-Behnken design was used for evaluation of Eudragit coated diclofenac pellets. The purpose of this work was to optimize diclofenac pellets to improve the physicochemical properties using experimental design. MATERIALS AND METHODS Diclofenac was loaded onto the non-pareil beads using conventional coating pan. Film coating of pellets was done at the same pan. The effect of plast...

In this study, a fuzzy logic prediction model for 3, 7, 14 and 28 days compressive strength of lightweight concrete made with scoria aggregate and fly ash under different curing conditions (standard and air curing) was devised. In mixtures containing fly ash, 15% of Portland cement by weight was replaced with fly ash. The specimens were cured in standard curing conditions at temperature 20±2 °C...

background: application of bonding agents (ba) into deep cavities and light curing them might increase pulpal temperature and threaten its health. the purpose of this study was to evaluate temperature rise of pulp by light curing six ba using two different light curing units (lcu), through a dent in wall of 0.5 mm. materials and methods: this in vitro experiment was carried out on 96 slices of ...

UV cured epoxy systems represent complementary technology to the established heat cured epoxy systems for coating, adhesion and encapsulation of electronic devices. The UV cured epoxy systems offer significant benefits in terms of fast cure and thus very short production cycle time; low stress and better colour due to room temperature cure; process wise no mix ratio problem or anhydride handlin...

in this research, we have developed cheap recyclable and task-specific acidic ionic liquids (ails) 1-hydrogen-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate [hmim]hso4, 1-hydrogen-3-methylimidazolium chloride [hmim]cl, 2-pyrrolidonium hydrogensulfate [hnhp]hso4 and applied them in acid catalyzed synthesis of quinoxaline derivatives from 1,2-phenylendiamines and 1,2-dicarbonyl compounds. the products coul...

the knoevenagel condensation of aromatic aldehydes with barbituric acid, dimedone and malononitrile occurred in the presence of bf3/nano-γ-al2o3 at room temperature in ethanol. this catalyst is characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), thermal gravimetric analysis (tga), field emission scanning electron microscopy (fesem) and energy-disper...
