One engine that drives the United States’ economic growth is an ever-increasing demand for manufactured products, both at home and abroad. This increase has created a major concern for the environment in terms of disposing used goods and ensuring that these products are safe. As environmental concerns grow, however, renewable resources are gaining increasing attention, especially as industrial ecology and product biodegradability gain importance. Added to this, biological materials are increasingly being utilized to replace traditional materials in manufacturing. To aid both educators as well as researchers, this paper examines several considerations that are essential for manufacturing plastic products that contain biomaterials. These include the selection of materials, the selection of manufacturing processes, manufacturing costs, and the quality of final products. Additionally, several standard methods that are commonly used for the determination of mechanical and physical properties are compiled; thus this paper should be a useful resource for both educators and researchers. The trends discussed here and their implications are critical for those involved in manufacturing, because contrary to conventional wisdom, simultaneously meeting the material production needs of our society, as well as that of the environment are not mutually-exclusive. 相似文献

为了研究国产的工程水泥基复合材料(Engineered Cementitious Composites,ECC)和普通聚乙烯醇(Polyvi-nyl Alcohol,PVA)纤维混凝土对结构增韧和控裂的效果,分别采用材料试验和构件试验进行研究。通过四点弯曲试验,发现ECC的峰值荷载和峰值荷载对应的拉应变要远远大于普通混凝土、PVA纤维混凝土,而且ECC起裂以后,裂缝宽度较小,且发展较慢,控制较好;采用不同高度的ECC、PVA纤维混凝土作为钢筋混凝土梁底保护层,发现1/4h ECC对钢筋混凝土增韧的效果最好,且裂缝宽度为0.2mm时,1/4h ECC的承载能力比普通钢筋混凝土提高1.6倍,峰值荷载比普通钢筋混凝土提高约12%;同时发现,在相同荷载作用下,采用ECC作为梁底保护层时,裂缝宽度比钢筋混凝土小,且可以有效地控制裂缝宽度的快速增长,间接提高结构的耐久性。 相似文献

To utilize visible light more effectively in photocatalytic reactions, a fly ash cenosphere (FAC)-supported CeO2-BiV04 (CeO2-BiVO4/FAC) composite photocatalyst was prepared by modified metalorganic decomposition and impregnation methods. The physical and photophysical properties of the composite have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and UV-Visible diffuse reflectance spectra. The XRD patterns exhibited characteristic diffraction peaks of both BiVO4 and Ce02 crystalline phases. The XPS results showed that Ce was present as both Ce4+ and Ce3+ oxidation states in Ce02 and dispersed on the surface of BiV04 to constitute a p-n heterojunction composite. The absorption threshold of the CeO2-BiVO4/FAC composite shifted to a longer wavelength in the UV-Vis absorption spectrum compared to the pure Ce02 and pure BiV04. The composites exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity for Methylene Blue (MB) degradation under visible light irradiation. It was found that the 7.5 wt.% CeO2-BiVO4/FAC composite showed the highest photocatalytic activity for MB dye wastewater treatment. 相似文献

Interest in renewable biofuel sources has intensified in recent years, leading to greatly increased production of ethanol
and its primary coproduct, Distillers Dried Grain with Solubles (DDGS). Consequently, the development of new outlets for DDGS
has become crucial to maintaining the economic viability of the industry. In light of these developments, this preliminary
study aimed to determine the suitability of DDGS for use as a biofiller in low-cost composites that could be produced by rapid
prototyping applications. The effects of DDGS content, particle size, curing temperature, and compression on resulting properties,
such as flexural strength, modulus of elasticity, water activity, and color were evaluated for two adhesive bases. The composites
formed with phenolic resin glue were found to be greatly superior to glue in terms of mechanical strength and durability:
resin-based composites had maximum fiber stresses of 150–380 kPa, while glue composites had values between 6 kPa and 35 kPa;
additionally, glue composites experienced relatively rapid microbial growth. In the resin composites, both decreased particle
size and increased compression resulted in increased mechanical strength, while a moderate DDGS content was found to increase
flexural strength but decrease Young’s modulus. These results indicate that DDGS has the potential to be used in resin glue-based
composites to both improve flexural strength and improve potential biodegradability. 相似文献

Structural equation modeling (SEM) holds the promise of providing natural scientists the capacity to evaluate complex multivariate
hypotheses about ecological systems. Building on its predecessors, path analysis and factor analysis, SEM allows for the incorporation
of both observed and unobserved (latent) variables into theoretically-based probabilistic models. In this paper we discuss
the interface between theory and data in SEM and the use of an additional variable type, the composite. In simple terms, composite
variables specify the influences of collections of other variables and can be helpful in modeling heterogeneous concepts of
the sort commonly of interest to ecologists. While long recognized as a potentially important element of SEM, composite variables
have received very limited use, in part because of a lack of theoretical consideration, but also because of difficulties that
arise in parameter estimation when using conventional solution procedures. In this paper we present a framework for discussing
composites and demonstrate how the use of partially-reduced-form models can help to overcome some of the parameter estimation
and evaluation problems associated with models containing composites. Diagnostic procedures for evaluating the most appropriate
and effective use of composites are illustrated with an example from the ecological literature. It is argued that an ability
to incorporate composite variables into structural equation models may be particularly valuable in the study of natural systems,
where concepts are frequently multifaceted and the influence of suites of variables are often of interest. 相似文献

This paper highlights an innovative model of waste management combined with poverty reduction, which has been developed by the organisation Waste for Life (wasteforlife.org) - a network of academics, students, practitioners and on the ground cooperative partners in low income communities. The Waste for Life teams work with local cooperatives to create waste-based composites, which may be sold in local markets, thereby creating an income stream. The application of this model to the context of cartoneros (waste picker) cooperatives in Buenos Aires, Argentina, reveals that viable products can be made from paper and plastic waste, with low-impact material preparation that circumvents the need for chemically intensive, polluting and mechanically degrading procedures, preserving recycled fibre integrity. Tests on material samples indicate mechanical properties comparable to products made with more complex processing. The production model is based on the philosophy that not only the waste materials, but also the production equipment should be locally sourced and manufactured and products created to suit local markets. A simple reproducible model has been developed for the local manufacture of composites from waste, which can provide an income source for waste pickers as well as providing an innovative waste management solution. 相似文献

Adding cellulose fiber reinforcement can improve mechanical properties of biodegradable plastics, but fiber must be well dispersed
to achieve any benefit. The approach to dispersing fiber in this study was to use aqueous gels of sodium bentonite clay. These
clay-fiber gels were combined with powdered compostable thermoplastics and calcium carbonate filler. The composite was dried,
twin-screw extruded, and injection molded to make thin parts for tensile testing. An experimental design was used to determine
the effect of fiber concentration, fiber length, and clay concentration. Polybutylene adipate/terephthalate copolymer (PBAT)
and 70/30 polylactic acid (PLA)/PBAT blend were the biodegradable plastics studied. The composite strength decreased compared
to the thermoplastics (13 vs. 19 MPa for PBAT, 27 vs. 38 MPa for the PLA/PBAT blend). The composite elongation to break decreased
compared to the thermoplastics (170% vs. 831% for PBAT, 4.9% vs. 8.7% for the PLA/PBAT blend). The modulus increased for the
composites compared to the thermoplastic standards (149 vs. 61 MPa for PBAT, 1328 vs. 965 MPa for the PLA/PBAT blend). All
composite samples had good water resistance. 相似文献
