In this paper silica-based geopolymer matrix reinforced composites containing approximately 35 50 or 55 wt.% of carbon (HTS 5631 1600tex 24K TohoTenax) advanced basalt (BCF13-2520tex KV12 Int Basaltex) or electrical grade glass (E-glass: E2400P192 Saint-Gobain Vetrotex) roving fibers respectively were synthesized and fabricated at ambient conditions. The flexural properties of the resulting composites which are high toughness: the shear stress plays here a greater role in compared with other ceramic matrix composites were determined on a universal testing machine under three-point bending mode in accordance with novel size-independent method which based on testing specimens at different scale of sample height (H) to span length (L) ratios; The basic principles of the new size-independent approach are presented as well. Microstructures of composites were analyzed by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM) on perpendicular sections the images show the adhesion between the fibers and geopolymer matrix are very good and micro-cracks on both cross-sections and surfaces of geocomposites are determined as inborn defects of inorganic matrix composites.

Man Lueat (Dioscorea alata) flour is a biopolymer material that can be formed into an edible film. It can be contacted directly with food consumed and naturally biodegraded. The aims of this research were to study the effect of physicochemical mechanical and thermal properties of edible film from Man Lueat flour. The film forming solution was prepared by Man Lueat flour at 4% w/w. The glycerol was used as a plasticizer. It was studied at 3 different levels; 30 40 and 50% w/w of Man Lueat flour. The film forming solutions were formed using the solution casting method and dried at 50 °C for 16 h. Results showed that the glycerol content at different levels of the edible film from Man Lueat flour had no effect on the thickness color transparency and elongation at break. However the moisture content water solubility swelling property and water vapor permeability of the film tended to increase when increasing the glycerol content. In contrast the Young’s modulus and tensile strength of films tended to decrease significantly when the glycerol content increased. Thermal properties were found that decomposition temperature of films occurred 2 stage; the first stage occurs between 50 to 130 ° C and the second stage occurs between 263 to 315 ° C. The analysis of FT-IR showed that the different levels of glycerol affected the structure of the film (3278 cm-1). Therefore the edible film from Man Lueat flour can be applied as a food packaging material to protect the quality of food products.

It is Suitable for Forming because it has Ductile Material. This is a Good Mechanical Property in the Metal Forming Machine.

This research work was to study the improvement of toughness and impact resistance of polylactic acid (PLA) with modified soybean oil (MSBO) and palm fiber (PF). The detail of this work was divided into three parts. The first was to find the suitable condition for modification of soybean oil with ozonolysis. The second and last parts were to study the effects of MSBO and PF contents on the properties of PLA respectively. For oil modification the reaction times were varied from 0 to 3 hours and the chemical changes in molecules of soybean oil were investigated by Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopies. The result suggested that the most suitable condition for ozonolysis reaction was 2 hours considering the decrease in double bond between carbon atoms and the increase in hydroxyl group into molecular structure of MSBO. For the effect of MSBO content on mechanical properties it was evaluated by tensile and impact testing. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used for thermal and morphology analyses. The result showed that elongation at break and impact strength of modified PLA by MSBO increased about 89 and 25 % compared to those of neat PLA respectively. MSBO act as the efficient plasticizer for PLA considering the conversion of fracture behavior from brittle to ductile good dispersions of MSBO droplets in PLA and the decrease of glass transition temperature (Tg) with addition of MSBO. The addition of PF improved the impact strength of modified PLA. Strong interfacial bonding between PLA and PF indicated MSBO being both coupling agent for PLA and natural fiber and plasticizer for PLA. For migration test it was found that contents of released heavy metal and migrated chemical from specimens of PLA and PLA/PF composite were under the criteria according to Notification of the Ministry of Public Health (No. 295) B.E. 2548.

The objective of this research is to investigate microstructure and mechanical properties of brass welded by diffusion welding process.
