This research aims to study the shrinkage of plastic polyethylene Terephthalate used with the make blow mold in 2 stages. The shrinkage of work piece was determined in order to design the mold ; Z axis = 1% XY axis = 2.5% . The testing results were as follow. 1. Horizontal shrinkage(Z axis) was 0.85% which differed from the determined shrinkage(1%) at 0.15% 2. Vertical shrinkage(XY axis) was 1.83% that is 0.67% which differed from the determined shrinkage(2.5%) at 0.67%

Dehydration of ethanol to ethylene was investigated over Mn- and Ni-containing mordenites. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) BET method and temperature programmed desorption of ammonia. The performances on dehydration of ethanol to ethylene for these catalysts were compared at temperature range 250-450°oC WHSV (weight hourly space velocity) of 1 h-1 time on stream of 30-240 min and catalyst weight of 1.0 g. The results showed that conversion of ethanol of the Mn-MOR and Ni MOR was quite similar but selectivity to ethylene of the Mn-MOR catalyst was much higher. The Ni-MOR showed high selectivity to ethane due to its hydrogenation ability.

This research project aimed to test the mechanical properties and the capability in wear resistance of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene composite as well as determine the optimal formulation of UHMWPE-based composites which had a main component of aluminum oxide. The developed formula was used in the manufacture of run-flat wheels and thus applied to build run-flat wheels with an understanding of the proper molding conditions under the run-flat wheel forming process. Two materials used in the research consisted of super-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) as the base material and the additive of aluminum oxide (Al2O3). The parameters employed in the hot compression process to obtain the specimen for the experiment consisted of compressive force temperature time and the ratio between super-high molecular weight polyethylene and aluminum oxide. The test for mechanical properties consisted of an impact test a hardness test according to the ASTM D2240 standard a tensile test according to the ASTM D638 standard type I and a wear test according to the ASTM G77 standard. The results indicated that a hot compression condition under a pressure of 5 MPa a temperature of 210°C for 90 min and using 5% Al2O3 HTM 30 material caused mixed uneven powder particle sizes between 2 to 5 µm. The tensile test results inferred the yield strength of 20.52 MPa ultimate tensile strength at 29.96 MPa breaking strength at 22.83 MPa elongation at break at 265.8% and modulus of elasticity at 784.46 MPa. The highest hardness was 62 shore D the high impact strength was 586.8 J/m and it was displayed for the wear rate of hot compression specimens made of UHMWPE mixed with 5% HTM-30. Moreover it introduced a coefficient of friction the wear rate and the density of 0.12 8.66E-11 mm3/N.m and 1.2446958 g/cm3 respectively.

This research aims to develop the natural-rubber floor tiles mixed with high fineness ethylene vinyl acetate plastic wastes (EVA plastics) from the factories. The study use natural-rubber STR 20 at 100 phr with various contents of EVA plastics (e.g. 0 5 10 20 40 and 80 phr) and then mixed with chemical substance at constant ratio include zinc oxide at 5 phr stearic acid at 2 phr mercaptobenzothiazole at 0.5 phr diphenyl guanidine at 0.2 phr and sulfur at 3 phr. The samples are ground by two-roll mill and formed by compression molding at 150 degree Celsius with 30x30x0.2 cm of dimension. The properties of the natural-rubber floor tiles are tested under ASTM standard. From the results it is found that the natural-rubber floor tiles mixed with 10 phr of EVA plastics is the suitable ratio for using as the rubber floor tiles in building. This ratio can increase the hardness tensile strength and wear resistant properties and decrease the density and thermal insulation properties when compare to the natural-rubber floor tiles without EVA plastic.

This research aims to develop the Para-rubber floor tiles mixed with ethylene vinyl acetate plastic wastes (EVA plastics) from the factories. The study use Para-rubber STR 20 at 100 phr with various contents of EVA plastics (e.g. 0 5 10 20 40 and 80 phr) and then mixed with chemical substance at constant ratio include zinc oxide at 5 phr stearic acid at 2 phr sulfur at 3 phr mercaptobenzothiazole at 0.5 phr and diphenyl guanidine at 0.2 phr. The samples are ground by two-roll mill and formed by compression molding at 150 degree Celsius with 30x30x0.2 cm of dimension. The properties of the Para-rubber floor tiles are tested under ASTM standard. From the results it is found that the Para-rubber floor tiles mixed with 10 phr of EVA plastics is the suitable ratio for using as the rubber floor tiles and rubber wall tiles in building. This ratio can increase the hardness and wear resistant properties and decrease the density and thermal insulation properties when compare to the Para-rubber floor tiles without EVA plastic.
