A method for manufacturing bi-layered zirconia rods of core-shell geometry with a porous core and a dense shell has been developed. Core-shell rods were successfully prepared by thermoplastic co-extrusion of assembled feed rods composed of core and shell zirconia feedstocks. Rheological analysis and adjustment of the feedstock viscosities enabled co-extrusion of regular core-shell rods of uniform shell thickness. Tapioca starch was used as a pore-forming agent in the core feedstock. Binder removal and high temperature treatment had to be modified in order to safely remove the starch particles. Sintering analysis revealed constrained sintering of porous cores in the core-shell rods due to the rigid dense shell, which resulted in an increased porosity in the core. Defect-free core-shell rods with a core porosity of up to 40% and different thicknesses of the dense shell were prepared.

AbstractWhen clutch boards are fabricated as friction sheets in automatic transmission of motorcars, their useless fragments are disposed of. In this study, an effective reuse of their waste clutch boards will be proposed. Clutch boards are composed of diatomaceous earth, carbon powder/fiber and phenol resin. Excess carbon in carbonized clutch boards was reacted with SiO formed from Si and SiO2 at 1500 °C in Ar to produce porous SiC sheets (79% porosity). High temperature treatment at 1700-1900 °C in vacuum made it possible to control the pore size of SiC sheets, having a main pore diameter range of 10 to 20 μm.SiC sheets with porosity (79% to <60%) were also fabricated by heating carbonized/impregnated sheets with phenol resin in SiO gas at 1500 °C. SiC sheets obtained by the repeated cycle of impregnation/decomposition of resin heating at 1700 °C gave a tensile strength of 19 MPa.When Aluminum-tri-sec-butoxide (ASB) solution was impregnated into SiC sheets oxidized at 1000-1200 °C in air and heated at 1400-1500 °C in Ar, SiC-mullite composite sheets with porosity (77%) were produced.

Preparation of a novel organically modified clay from spent oil base drilling mud (SOBM) that could serve as core-shell clay filler for polymers is herein reported. Due to the hydrophilic nature of clay, its compatibility with polymer matrix was made possible through modification of the surface of the core clay sample with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (3-APTES) compound prior to its use. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was used to characterize clay surface modification. Electron dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDX) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to expose filler chemical composition and morphology, while electrophoresis measurement was used to examine level of filler dispersion. Results show an agglomerated core clay powder after high temperature treatment, while EDX analysis shows that the organically modified clay is composed of chemical inhomogeneities, wherein elemental compositions in weight percent vary from one point to the other in a probe of two points. Micrographs of the 3-APTES coupled SOBM core-shell clay filler clearly show cloudy appearance, while FT-IR indicates 25% and 5% increases in fundamental vibrations band at 1014 cm−1 and 1435 cm−1, respectively. Furthermore, 3-APTES coupled core-shell clay was used to prepare epoxy composites and tested for mechanical properties.

Magnetic properties of the sets of Fe3O4(core)/CoFe2O4(shell) composite nanoparticles with a core diameter of about 6.3 nm and various shell thicknesses (0, 1.0, and 2.5 nm), as well as the mixtures of Fe3O4 and CoFe2O4 nanoparticles taken in the ratios corresponding to the core/shell material contents in the former case, have been studied. The results of magnetic research showed that the coating of magnetic nanoparticles with a shell gives rise to the appearance of two simultaneous effects: the modification of the core/shell interface parameters and the parameter change in both the nanoparticle’s core and shell themselves. As a result, the core/shell particles acquire new characteristics that are inherent neither to Fe3O4 nor to CoFe2O4. The obtained results open the way to the optimization and adaptation of the parameters of the core/shell spinel-ferrite-based nanoparticles for their application in various technological and biomedical domains.
