Advanced Hard Ctings: Towards A Whole New World حسب Santecchia, Eleonora

"…The main problem with steel, is that it exhibits a relatively low hardness (below 10 GPa) which strongly decreases upon annealing above about 600 K. Thus, the majority of modern tools are nowadays coated with hard coatings, in order to: (i) increase the hardness, (ii) decrease the coefficient of friction, and (iii) protect the tools against oxidation. …"

Enhancing the UV/heat stability of LLDPE irrigation pipes via different stabilizer formulations حسب Porfyris, Athanasios D.

"…Mechanical properties, thermal analysis, and carbonyl index results supported the morphological results, which confirmed that CB alone was slightly more effective in protecting the LLDPE against UV initiated degradation, but performed worse against thermal initiated degradation. UV1 and UV2 compounds were efficient against both UV- and heat-initiated degradation, with UV1 performing better for unpigmented compounds, and UV2 for the pigmented ones.…"
