OBJECTIVE Little is known about the interaction of tissue conditioners and modeling plastics. This study evaluates the influence of a variety of commercial tissue conditioners on alteration of viscoelastic properties of modeling plastics. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this in vitro study, the dynamic viscoelastic properties of four commercially available tissue conditioners (TC), Visco-gel (VG), G...

this work presents an experimental investigation of the influence of the six important machining parameters (tool nose radius, tool rake angle, feed rate, cutting speed, cutting environment (dry, wet and cooled) and depth of cut) on surface roughness & material removal rate in the machining unidirectional glass fiber reinforced plastics (ud-gfrp) composite using carbide (k10) cutting tool durin...

The study presented demonstrates the modeling of a commingled waste plastics blend. The approach is based on statistically designed mixture experiments and regression analysis. Through the evaluation of a specific array of test points, mathematical models and response surface plots were developed which describe the degree of influence and relationship of the formulation vari­ ables.

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been steadily replacing metals as choice engineering materials for various applications. Although FRPs can be manufactured to near-net shape, post processing operations such as machining are required to create some features (such as holes). In order to drill holes efficiently with the least waste and defects, it is essential to understand the machi...

This work examines the feasibility of a greenfield mixed plastics waste gasification facility with process modeling, TEA, and LCA.

Plastics properties can be tailored through control of their syntheses and processing to fit every desired application, packaging beeing a major one. Measurable residual amounts or conversion products from the many different raw materials and processing aids used in the various plastic synthesis processes can remain in the finished material along with many chemically different additives which a...

the study was undertaken with the objectives to: (1) study the present status of plastic waste management and the existing phnom penh household willingness and their influence factors to segregate plastics for recycling and reuse (plastics & non plastics); (2) study how other cities encouraged and obtained the participation of their population in plastics recycling and reuse and (3) recommend w...

Glass fiber reinforced plastics are finding its increased applications in various engineering fields such as aerospace, automobile, electronics and other industries. This paper discusses the use of fuzzy logic for modeling turning parameters in turning of glass fiber reinforced plastics by carbide tool (K-20). Experiments were conducted based on the established Taguchi‟s Design of Experiments (...
