EFFECT OF FILLING MATERIALS ON THE FRICTION COEFFICIENT OF RECYCLED RUBBER FLOORINGS [PDF]

Journal of the Egyptian Society of Tribology, 2013
The effect of filling materials on the friction coefficient of recycled rubber floorings is discussed in the present work. Experiments were carried out by the sliding of the bare foot against the tested rubber tiles of different thickness.

PREVENTION OF SLIP ACCIDENTS BY USING RUBBER FLOOR MAT [PDF]

Journal of the Egyptian Society of Tribology, 2012
There is an increasing demand to eliminate slip and fall in bathrooms. Wet ceramic surfaces usually promote slips and occasionally lead to indoor accidents. The present work aims to test the frictional behaviour of rubber mats made of recycled rubber and

Comparative Analysis of the Behavior of Llamas Housed in a Research Facility in Response to Different Environmental Enrichment Stimuli. [PDF]

Anim Sci J
ABSTRACT Environmental enrichment (EE) is essential for promoting welfare and reducing atypical behaviors in captive research animals, but we know little about effective EE strategies for llamas (Lama glama). This study evaluated the behavioral responses to EE items provided to llamas housed in a biomedical research facility in Brazil, where they are ...

RECYCLING OF THERMOPLASTIC POLYMERS BY FILLING EPOXY FLOORING MATERIALS [PDF]

Journal of the Egyptian Society of Tribology, 2011
Used polymeric materials are often burned or end up in landfills. Those methods represent serious pollution of the environment. The safe option is to recycle the used polymers as filling materials in epoxy flooring tiles. The aim of this work is to study

FRICTION COEFFICIENT OF RUBBER SLIDING AGAINST DUSTY INDOOR FLOORING [PDF]

Journal of the Egyptian Society of Tribology, 2010
Bathroom mates are usually made of recycled rubber and or polymers. These are used to eliminate slip and fall in bathrooms and kitchens. Ceramic surfaces contaminated with water usually promote slips and occasionally lead to indoor accidents.

Coloring of recycled rubber and plastic tiles and their opto-thermal response

, 2021
La eficiencia energética consiste en lograr un menor consumo de energía frente a una misma prestación. La distinta cantidad de radiación solar que es reflejada o absorbida se debe al color de la superficie. Las tejas desarrolladas en esta investigación son de color negro, por tener partículas de caucho en su composición, que contienen negro de humo ...

Valorization of Post‐Consumer Waste From Metallized Flexible Packaging and Industrial EPM Waste: Development of Sustainable Composites

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Post‐consumer metallized flexible packaging waste and industrial EPM waste are transformed into sustainable composites through mechanical recycling. The incorporation of 30 wt% EPM provides the most favorable balance between stiffness, ductility, and impact resistance, achieving 53.36 kJ/m2.

The Moral Manager in the Market: How CFOs' Ethical Intelligence Drives ESG Investment in Emerging Economies' Dual Markets

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT What propels a CFO in an emerging economy to champion ESG investments when formal regulations are weak? Moving beyond structural explanations, we provide a behavioural account arguing that a manager's internal ethical compass—moral intelligence (MI)—is a key driver.

Artificial structures for human‐machine interfaces with closed‐loop interaction

FlexMat, EarlyView.
Artificial structures bridge sensing and feedback in closed‐loop human‐machine interfaces by providing geometry‐enabled mechanical and functional programmability. This review maps the role of artificial structures in diverse sensing modalities and feedback strategies, and illustrates their integration into closed‐loop interaction systems, highlighting ...
