Mechanical, morphological and water absorption properties of polyethylene/olive pomace flour bio-composites [PDF]
Mechanical and physical properties of various weigh percentages (0% - 40%) of olive pomace flour (OPF)-loaded linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) in the presence of 0%, 5% and 10% coupling agent (C) were formulated and studied.

Filtration of oil from oily wastewater via hydrophobic modified quartz sand filter medium
To improve the hydrophobicity and lipophilicity of a quartz sand filter medium, two coupling agents, DN101 and KH570, were employed. The filter medium surface wettability and oil removal efficiency before and after modification were investigated, and the

Dynamics and Steady States in excitable mobile agent systems [PDF]
We study the spreading of excitations in 2D systems of mobile agents where the excitation is transmitted when a quiescent agent keeps contact with an excited one during a non-vanishing time.

A coupled drug kinetics-cell cycle model to analyse the response of human cells to intervention by topotecan [PDF]
A model describing the response of the growth of single human cells in the absence and presence of the anti-cancer agent topotecan (TPT) is presented. The model includes a novel coupling of both the kinetics of TPT and cell cycle responses to the agent ...

Studies on the properties of rice-husk-filled-PP composites: effect of maleated PP
Rice husk is a by-product of rice milling process that usually finds inadequate final disposal (burning, land filling). Thermoplastics composites filled with rice husk flour are materials that offer an alternative for using this agricultural resource ...

Influence of silane coupling agent on microstructure and properties of CCTO-P(VDF-CTFE) composites [PDF]
Influence of the coupling agent on microstructure and dielectric properties of ceramic–polymer composites is systematically studied using CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) as the filler, trichloro-(1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyl)-silane (Cl3-silane) as coupling agent, and ...

Investigation on mechanical and thermal properties of giant milkweed (Calotropis persica) fibers -plastics composites [PDF]
The suitability of using Iranian grown giant milkweed fibers (GFs) as a new raw material for thermoplastic composites was investigated. The polypropylene (PP) was used as the matrix polymer and the maleated polypropylene, Epolene G- 3003TM, was used as ...
