In recent years, the engineering implications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have progressed enormously due to their versatile characteristics. In particular, the role of CNTs in improving the tribological performances of various engineering materials is well documented in the literature. In this work, an investigation has been conducted to study the tribological behaviour of CNTs filled with glass-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites in dry sliding, oil-lubricated, and gaseous (argon) environments in comparison to unfilled GFRP composites. The tribological study has been conducted on hardened steel surfaces at different loading conditions. Further, the worn surfaces have been examined for a particular rate of wear. Field-emission scanning electron (FESEM) microscopy was used to observe wear behaviours. The results of this study explicitly demonstrate that adding CNTs to GFRP composites increases wear resistance while lowering friction coefficient in all sliding environments. This has also been due to the beneficial strengthening and self-lubrication properties caused by CNTs on GFRP composites, according to FESEM research.

The analysis of structural members subjected to close-in detonations involves a complicated dynamic scenario. Since the charge is very close to the structural member, the reflected pressure distribution on the member surface is highly non-uniform. In addition, the level of damage to the structural member may be high because of the large magnitude of the load. Due to these phenomena, the response of a structural member to close-in detonation cannot be accurately modelled by relatively simple methods like single-degree of freedom models, and more complicated models are required. Such models need to include numerical simulation of the detonation process, which produces a non-uniform pressure environment, allowing the pressure to reflect and flow around the member section. The local damage and flow around the section are especially of interest in I-shaped, or wide-flange-section members. Herein, the response of such sections is modelled by numerical simulations using a novel technique, which overcomes the difficulty of computation time, and is validated through various calculations. The model is used to perform a parametric study to investigate the response of I-sections subjected to close-in detonations, in terms of local damage and global behaviour, with scaled distances of 0.15–0.29 m/kg1/3 and loading causing flexure about the strong axis. Various aspects that affect the performance are studied, such as: the effect of scaled distance, the addition of welded stiffening plates between the flanges and web, the effect of boundary conditions and the effect of charge shape. Resulting local damage and residual deformations are assessed for the cases studied.

Foodborne Infections

Fresh vegetables and salads are increasingly implicated in outbreaks of foodborne infections, such as those caused by Listeria monocytogenes, a dangerous pathogen that can attach to the surfaces of the equipment creating robust biofilms withstanding the killing action of disinfectants. In this study, the antimicrobial efficiency of a natural plant terpenoid (thymol) was evaluated against a sessile population of a multi-strain L. monocytogenes cocktail developed on stainless steel surfaces incubated in lettuce broth, under optimized time and temperature conditions (54 h at 30.6 °C) as those were determined following response surface modeling, and in comparison, to that of an industrial disinfectant (benzalkonium chloride). Prior to disinfection, the minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) of each compound were determined against the planktonic cells of each strain. The results revealed the advanced killing potential of thymol, with a concentration of 625 ppm (= 4 × MBC) leading to almost undetectable viable bacteria (more than 4 logs reduction following a 15-min exposure). For the same degree of killing, benzalkonium chloride needed to be used at a concentration of at least 20 times more than its MBC (70 ppm). Discriminative repetitive sequence-based polymerase chain reaction (rep-PCR) also highlighted the strain variability in both biofilm formation and resistance. In sum, thymol was found to present an effective anti-listeria action under environmental conditions mimicking those encountered in the salad industry and deserves to be further explored to improve the safety of fresh produce.
