Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation of the use of Polyurethane Residue Aggregated to the Plaster of Civil ConstructionGuilherme Moraes de Oliveira, Vittória Caroline Souza dos Santos, José de Souza, Tatiana Louise Ávila C. RochaThe study deals with the reuse of Polyurethane (PU) obtained from a kitchen sponge added to plaster for use in civil engineering. The kitchen sponge is an item widely used by the population in their daily lives, generating a significant accumulation of waste. Thus, from the analysis of the properties of the kitchen sponge, it was seeking possible reuse of … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 27 Nov 2019 · 7,142 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImmobilization of Lipase from Candida Rugosa on Palm-Based Polyurethane Foam as a Support MaterialRoila Awang, Mohd Rafaei Ghazuli, Mahiran BasriLipase from Candida rugosa was immobilized onto palm-based polyurethane foam (PU), which the polymer was pre-soaked in co-immobilized agent. The activities of PU-immobilized lipase were tested by the esterification reaction of oleic acid and oleyl alcohol in hexane. The PU-immobilized lipase was then characterized in term of its thermal, operational and storage stability. The optimum temperature for native and PU-immobilized … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,478 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSynthesis and Characterization of Bio-based Polyurethane PolymersJahangir Emrani, Ramazan Benrashid, Shahrzad Mohtarami et al.This paper describes the development of new biobased Polyurethanes (PU) starting from swine manure bio-resin and diisocyanates. The bio-resin is produced from swine manure via a hydrothermal process. For sustainability, today, many PUs in new specialized applications, are biobased. In this study, different commercial diisocyanates including MDI, Desmodur W, Desmodur H and Demodur I and swine manure, which is an … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 28 Nov 2018 · 8,361 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAdvanced Manufacturing for Novel Materials in Industrial Design ApplicationsFrancesco Tamburrino, Antonio Apicella, Raffaella Aversa, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe research presented starts with a focus on Smart Materials, or rather materials with properties that react to external stimuli (temperature, electric or magnetic field, pH or mechanical stress, for example) related to the environmental changes, modifying one or some of their own properties (mechanical, electrical, appearance, etc.). Afterward, one category of Smart Materials, Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs), has been … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 30 May 2018 · 8,535 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCondoms-As Sources of Extracellular Enzyme Producing MicrobesMadhusmita Mishra, Poulomi Nandy, Sarvani Debsarma et al.Problem statement: Condoms are widely used birth control measures which are made of natural latex or synthetic materials like polyurethane or polyisoprene as matrix with lubricants added to make them ready to use commodities. Absence of sterilization method along with presence of lubricant like petroleum jelly (that are applied on the outer surface), prompted the investigators to look for microbes … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 May 2011 · 8,985 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of Foam Density on Specific Energy Absorption of Rectangular Steel TubesNirut Onsalung, Chawalit Thinvongpituk, Kulachate PainthongProblem statement: In general, the automotive structure is targeted to absorb high impact energy with least mass as much as possible. This is in order to limit the fuel consumption. Therefore, various techniques to increase the energy absorption with less mass increment have been studied for years. One of those techniques is by filling foam in the tube. This study … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,440 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Tactile Force Probe for Tissue Stiffness ClassificationBehafarid Darvish, Siamak Najarian, Elham Shirzad, Roozbeh KhodambashiIn this study, we have proposed a new type of tactile sensor that is capable of detecting the stiffness of soft objects. The sensor consists of a brass cylinder with an axial bore. An iron core can easily move inside the bore. Three peripheral bobbins were machined in the cylinder around which three coils have been wound. One of the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2009 · 7,286 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Reaction Temperature on Retaining Oxirane Oxygen Contents in the Synthesis of Epoxidized DiethanolamidesC. S. Lee, T. L. Ooi, C. H. ChuahEpoxidized diethanolamides were synthesized by reacting diethanolamine (DEA) with mixture of Epoxidized Palm Olein (EPOo ,40% w/w) and Refined Bleached Deodorized Palm Kernel Olein (RBDPKOo , 60% w/w) at 1:3 molar at 80°C for 5 h and continued at 110°C for another 4 h of reaction time. Synthesized diethanolamides with high content of epoxides were reacted with isocyanate in the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2009 · 7,372 accessesView PDFCite
