Poly(ethylene carbonate) (PEC) is a form of aliphatic polycarbonate, a biodegradable polymer made via the copolymerization of carbon dioxide and epoxides. The poor thermal stability and mechanical properties of these aliphatic carbonates are attributed to the carbon structure's flexibility, which restricts their applications. By combining PEC with organoclay CP180, this study addressed the weaknesses of PEC with organoclay addition. A physical blending technique was employed to generate PEC/organoclay composites with a 10-50 wt.% ratio of organoclay. The blended material's thermal characteristics were analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and the mechanical characteristics were measured using a universal tensile machine. The Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) analysis determined the blends' morphology. Before the torque value for all curves grew with the addition of CP180 material to the PEC matrix, it became constant. It reached a high value due to the shear-thickening behavior of the PEC matrix with organoclay addition. Tg of PEC increased by more than 7°C by 40 wt.% organoclay addition, as evident in the hindrance of PEC flexibility, significantly increased the toughness of this PEC. From the FESEM images, the formation of large silicate starts to aggregate effectively, lowering the interfacial area between organoclay and PEC as the clay content continues to rise, as shown by 50 wt.% organoclay addition.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized by a chemical method in which cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) extracted from pineapple leaves served as a stabilizing and reducing agent. In this study, pineapple leaves were oxidized by the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO)-mediated oxidation with sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) to obtain CNFs. After the oxidation, the transformation from hydroxyl groups to carboxylate groups of cellulose was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and TEMPO-oxidized CNFs with a higher carboxylate content were obtained. Then, TEMPO-oxidized CNFs with a carboxylate content of 2.49 mmol/g and non-oxidized CNFs with a carboxylate content of 0.68 mmol/g were used as a reducing agent to synthesize AgNPs. The formation of AgNPs was confirmed by color changes of the Ag solutions from white to yellow. Furthermore, AgNPs with an average diameter of 76.5 ± 22.15 nm were obtained when TEMPO-oxidized CNFs were used as a reducing agent, while non-oxidized CNFs generated AgNPs with a larger particle size of 181.2 ± 66.16 nm. This suggested that the TEMPO-oxidized CNFs could be used as a stabilizing and reducing agent for the synthesis of AgNPs with smaller diameters.
通过化学方法合成了银纳米粒子(AgNPs),其中从菠萝叶中提取的纤维素纳米纤维(CNFs)可作为稳定剂和还原剂。在这项研究中,菠萝叶被次氯酸钠(NaClO)介导的 2,2,6,6-四甲基哌啶-1-氧(TEMPO)氧化,得到 CNFs。氧化后,傅立叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)证实了纤维素羟基向羧基的转变,并得到了羧基含量较高的 TEMPO 氧化 CNFs。然后,以羧酸盐含量为 2.49 mmol/g 的 TEMPO 氧化 CNFs 和羧酸盐含量为 0.68 mmol/g 的未氧化 CNFs 为还原剂,合成 AgNPs。AgNPs 的形成通过 Ag 溶液颜色从白色变为黄色得到证实。此外,当使用 TEMPO 氧化 CNF 作为还原剂时,可获得平均直径为 76.5 ± 22.15 nm 的 AgNPs,而未氧化 CNF 生成的 AgNPs 的粒径较大,为 181.2 ± 66.16 nm。这表明 TEMPO 氧化的 CNFs 可用作稳定剂和还原剂,用于合成直径较小的 AgNPs。

The current paper focuses on enhancing the manufacturability of AZ61 magnesium alloys by heat treatment. Specimens are subjected to solution heat treatment. First, all samples underwent a 15-hour treatment at 415°C before aging at 50°C, 100oC, and 150°C. The specimens were furnace cooled and quenched after achieving the precise aging temperature. The results have been extracted from tensile and cupping tests. The outcomes of each test have been compared with the data taken without heat treatment, so the ductility increase can be observed. Tests revealed better results for furnace-cooled specimens. The increase in formability of about 9% along with a decrease in strength of only 11% is observed for 150°C aging temperature.

The importance of non harmful inhibitors has informed the application of drugs as an agent to mitigate corrosion of metal materials. This research reveals the inhibitive reaction and adsorption mechanism of Chlorpheniramine drug (CD), on mild steel in an HCl solution using Potentiodynamic polarization, open circuit potential and weight loss method. The CD inhibitor was proportioned into 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10ml while molarity of HCl was varied in the proportion of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5M at a temperature of 298 K. The reaction showed that as the CD concentration moves to higher concentration, the efficiency of the inhibitor increases, also the higher the concentration of the acid, the higher the corrosion rate. Observation from the result revealed that CD inhibitor protected the steel from corrosion destruction. The optimum efficiency occurred as 85.80% at 10ml CD concentration. CD inhibitor obeyed Freundlich law of isotherm with the average regression value of R2 = 0.9733, as R2 value gets close to unity. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectra (EDX) results also confirm strong adsorption mechanisms of CD inhibitor on the mild steel samples.

It is natural to define marine corrosion in terms of the different zones in which the corrosion occurs such as atmosphere splash, tidal and sea mud etc. However, this study focused on issues affecting the marine structures, different types of corrosion and their impact on the marine steel structures as well as the machinery/equipment. Furthermore, several control measures of corrosion necessary to avert corrosion in marine environments were discussed. However, it was established that prolonged contact of marine structures with seawater would lead to corrosion as well as ruing the safety elements present. Thus, the study provides potential information to material scientists on the need for using structural steels of adequate mechanical properties.

The influence of the initial shape of graphite powder and Ni content on the structure and properties of the nickel-graphite powders and plasma-sprayed coatings is investigated. The irregularly and spherically shaped graphite powders were produced by mechanical crushing and mechanical crushing with rolling, respectively. It is shown, that spherically shaped graphite powder has advantages in flowability and better deposition of Ni layer. The nickel-graphite core-shell powders with 50 and 75 wt.% Ni content were used to deposit coatings by plasma spraying. The composition, structure, and hardness of the nickel-graphite coatings were studied.

In this study, the corrosion behavior of aluminum alloy was investigated in graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) nanofluids prepared with different surfactants. The surfactants include sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), Tween 80, and Gum Arabic (GA). The corrosion properties of the alloy in the different GNP nanofluids were evaluated using potentiodynamic polarization tests at room temperature. The surface morphology of the aluminum alloy was analyzed using a scanning electron microscope coupled with an electron dispersive spectroscopy detector. The experimental results revealed that the addition of surfactants improves the resistance of the aluminum alloy to corrosion in the nanofluid. This was attributed to the adsorption of surfactants on the surface of the alloy to form a protective film layer, which reduces moisture permeability and enhances corrosion inhibition. The addition of GA was found to exhibit the highest inhibition efficiency. This was followed by Tween 80, SDS, and SDBS, which contributes the least inhibition. XRD post-corrosion analysis also reveals the presence of aluminum oxide and aluminum hydroxide phases on the surface of electrodes immersed in all the different GNP nanofluids.
