Abstract In this research, comparative investigation of the effect of selected natural polymers with the chemically synthesis imported polymer on threaded assemblies was carried out. The investigation involved the extraction of rubber and cashew resin using the continuous tapping method and ackee aril resin by the soxhlet extraction method, respectively. Stabilization of resin density, pH and viscosity was carried out by the addition of ZnO in different weight percentage of 3, 5, 7, and 10% ...
Epoxy nanocomposites have found their path through a wide range of applications in marine, aerospace, automotive and electronics packaging industries. However, epoxy nanocomposites have proved to be vulnerable when exposed to different corrosive environments and the role of nanocarbon in leading the extent of changes of their properties have been a subject of research in several studies. This study aims at investigating the influence environmental degradation has on the mechanical properties ...
Abstract Physical Separation process refers to all the mineral separation techniques that are based on exploiting the differences in specific physical properties of the mineral such as specific gravity, magnetic properties, thermal and electrical conductivity. Physical separation techniques are usually preferred for economic reasons. Physical separation techniques include; •Gravity separation process •Classifiers •Magnetic separation process •Electrical separation process •Separati...

The drive behind this research work cannot be far-fetched from the quest to precisely predict how effectively welded low carbon steel pipes will function in industrial service applications requiring subjecting them to service use at elevated temperature as a function of inferences drawn from a critical study of the corrosion behavior of these welded steel pipes in both acidic and salty environment. To this end, a particular low carbon steel pipe of known chemical composition was sectioned int...
