Effect of using Cement Kiln Dust as a nano-material on the strength of cement mortars by Alnahhal, Wael

“…In addition to the control cement mortar mixture with 0% CKD, a total of 28 concrete mortar mixtures were prepared with four different replacement percentages of nano-CKD (5, 10, 15, and 20 %), and seven different milling times (1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, and 4 hours). The compressive strengths of all cement mortar mixtures were evaluated after curing periods of 7, 28, and 56 days. …”

Enhancing the UV/heat stability of LLDPE irrigation pipes via different stabilizer formulations by 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.…”
