Lately, a huge number of accidents caused by problems found in the durability of concrete structures due to inappropriate project design, lack of control of quality during the project \s execution, inadequate maintenance practices and an aggressive environment has been reported. This finding has required from the prof…
During the 1990's the use of cements made with port land clinker and two mineral admixtures, called ternary or blended cements, has grown considerably. Nowadays, cements containing several combinations of fly ash and silica fume, blast-furnace slag and silica fume or blast-furnace slag and limestone filler are commonl…
This paper reports a study of the influence of Cr concentration and preparation method in the electrical conductivity and microstructure of SnO2-based powders doped with Mn and Nb, prepared by an organic route (Pechini method) and a mixture of oxides. All the samples were compacted into discs and sintered at 1300 °C f…
Transparent electrically conducting antimony-doped SnO2 thin films have been prepared by sol-gel dip-coating process from colloidal aqueous suspension. The effect of doping content on the structural, optical and electrical properties is analyzed. Results from infrared optical transmission and reflection have shown tha…
Poly (vinyl chloride), PVC, is a rigid polymer and for several of its applications must be compounded with plasticizing agents. The plasticizers minimize the dipolar interactions, which exist between the polymer's chains, promoting their mobility. In this work we studied the properties of PVC/plasticizer systems submi…
The objective of this work has been to compare the reliability of two Si3N4 ceramics, with Y2O3/Al2O3 or CTR2O3/Al2O3 mixtures as additives, in regard to their 4-point bending strength and to confirm the potential of the rare earth oxide mixture, CTR2O3, produced at FAENQUIL, as an alternative, low cost sinter additiv…
The polyquaternium 7® polymer is widely used in cosmetic formulations. Morphologic alterations in hair fibers were observed after the application of the polyquaternium 7® polymer, using SEM and AFM. Continuous applications of this product indicated that it accumulates on the fibers, improving the aspect of the hair su…
The physico-chemical properties of a series of Ni,Mg,Al-HTLC with Al/(Al+Mg+Ni) = 0.25 and low Ni/Mg ratios were studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric (TGA) and thermodifferential (DTA) analysis, N2 physissorption and temperature programmed reduction (TPR). The as-synthesized materials were we…
Er-doped SnO2 thin films and xerogels are obtained by sol-gel technique. In order to understand the Er³+ rare-earth ion activity in SnO2 matrix, a characterization of Er incorporation is done through emission and excitation spectra of xerogels, besides thin film electrical characterization. Effects to grain dimensions…
Measurements of internal friction as a function of temperature were performed in samples of Nb containing different amounts of substitutional (Zr) and interstitial (O, N) solutes. These data were resolved using the method of successive subtraction, into a series of constituent Debye peaks corresponding to different in…
In this work we report some aspects of the chemistry involved in the preparation of modified silicon oxide by the sol-gel process. Europium III compounds were used as luminescent probe. An organic-inorganic hybrid was obtained by hydrolysis of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS). The…
The cement hydration products protect the concrete rebars of the reinforced concrete due to the production of Ca(OH)2, NaOH, and KOH that, upon dissolving in the concrete s aqueous phase, generate a pH above 12.5. However, reinforced concrete structures are exposed to pollutant gases, such as, CO2 which upon penetrati…
Red blood cell aggregation (RBCa) is a sensitive inflammation marker. RBCa determination from erythrocyte sedimentation rate, ESR, is used since long, but is unspecific unless corrected for hematocrit, Ht. Whole blood viscosity measurement at low shear rate is also sensitive to RBCa but is cumbersome to apply. To inve…
This paper shows friction results obtained through compression ring tests for two commercially-available lubricants (i.e., Oildag and Deltaforge) applied in the hot forging of aluminum alloys. The experiments were performed with AA 6061 F aluminum alloy samples with the goal of observing the behavior of each lubricant…
Potassium dihydrogen phosphate presents a ferroelectric phase below 122 K and a paraelectric phase for T > 122 K. X-ray scattering measurements were performed in order to verify the mechanism of the phase transition from point group C2v19 to C2v¹19 at 119 K induced by DC electric field; in other words, a change of the…
