title: Enhancing pine wood properties by two-step impregnation-heat treatment

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of the combined treatment of rosin impregnation followed by heat treatment in Pinus sp wood. Fifteen cubic samples of 15mm edge were randomly selected. The first step consisted of the impregnation of thermoplastic resin based on rosin and the second step was the heat treatment of wood at 180°C for 30 minutes. The impregnations were performed by two different methods: vacuum-immersion (VT) and hyperbaric pressure (HBT). The vacuum period was 15min and total impregnation time was three hours. The pressure in the HBT treatment was 6000bar for 15min. The treatments were analyzed through the solution retention and mass loss. The evaluation of the physical characteristics was done through the analysis of water absorption rates, radial, tangential, volumetric swellings, wettability and thermogravimetric analysis. The decay resistance was evaluated by accelerated decay tests. The results showed the efficiencyof the treatments, especially the HBT treatment. The contact angle was constant over the timefor the treated wood samples, whereas, the untreated wood sampled presented hydrophilic behavior. The decay resistance of treated wood with VT and HBT treatments increased in relation to the untreated Pinus sp. wood. The combined treatment is a potential alternative to improve the physical properties of Pinus sp. wood.

title: Evaluation of the adsorption process using green coconut mesocarp for removal of methylene blue dye

description: ABSTRACT Agroindustrial wastes are alternative and low cost materials, since considerable amounts of these are discarded in the environment, with potential use as adsorbent materials in the removal of pollutants, for example. In this sense, this work was carried out with the objective of evaluating the use of green coconut fiber as adsorbent in the removal of methylene blue dye in aqueous medium. The methylene blue dye is widely used by the textile industry and is present in its effluents and can contaminate the environment. The green coconut fiber was treated with HCl, NaOH and hexane. The evaluated parameters were pH, agitation time, kinetic mechanism and adsorption equilibrium. The kinetic data were adjusted to the Pseudo first order, Pseudo second order, Intraparticle diffusion and Quimisation models, resulting as the most suitable for the Pseudo second order model. The adsorption isotherms were delineated to the Langmuir and Freundlich models, the latter being the best fit for the experimental data obtained. The maximum adsorptive capacity was verified by treatment with HCl (0.1 mol L-1) that provided a significant increase in the maximum adsorptive capacity (166.67 mg g-1) of green coconut fiber compared to coconut fiber in and other treatments. The results showed that green coconut fiber, treated with hydrochloric acid, can be used as adsorbent material in the remediation of organic pollutants such as cationic dyes in liquid effluents.

title: Effect of adding blast furnace slag to composites with mosso bamboo

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of the addition of different blast furnace slag contents to composite with mosso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens), in order to verify the compatibility between biomass, Portland cement and high-oven. The degree of compatibility was determined by the study of the heat of hydration in the first 24 hours and the resistance to axial compression after 14 days of the composites formed by cement, biomass and blast furnace slag. The results of the inhibition tests showed that the 50% percentage of slag was the best for reducing the alkalinity of the cement matrix and, consequently, increasing the compatibility between bamboo biomass and Portland cement. For the compressive strength, the contents of 25 to 70% showed improvement of this property, demonstrating, therefore, that the addition of blast furnace slag increased the compatibility between cement and bamboo biomass. It is concluded that this can be used for the preparation of cement-biomass composites.

title: Study of thermal and mechanical properties of cementitious composites produced with residues from Porto Velho timber industry

description: ABSTRACT The main objective of this work was to evaluate cementitious composites with addition of waste from wood processing industry for use in construction as a thermal insulator. A matrix of pozzolanic Portland cement CP IV-32 was modified by partially replacing the cement with Metacaulinite (10%) and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) (5%), for setting control and compatibility with residues. Residues of 2.5%, 5.0% and 7.5% were added in partial replacement to the fine aggregate, compared to a conventional mixture. The thermal performance was developed through a heat retention box constructed with panels produced with mixtures in the specified percentages, being measured internal and external temperatures simultaneously for 30 minutes. The physical properties, compressive strength and 4-point bending were developed to verify the physical and mechanicalperformance of the components. The results showed a reduction in density and consumption of conventional materials, but the heat transfer between internal and external faces of panels presented statistically equivalent values, with coefficient of variation ≅ 18%, on analysed configuration. Metacaulinite and Ca(OH)2 presented improvements on physico-mechanical performance of composites, especially in the early ages.

title: Composites based on low-density polyethylene combined with PETcoated SBS paperboard shavings

description: ABSTRACT In this study, polymer composites comprised of shavings of SBS paperboard coated with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and recycled low-density polyethylene (LDPE) were obtained. The tensile properties, flexural strength, impact resistance and water absorption were determined according to the standards published by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). The results show that the composites with the highest concentration of LDPE were more resistant to absorption when exposed to water and humidity. As regards density, a 19.5% increase of this property was verified for the 30% cellulosic fiber reinforced composite relative to the pure LDPE density. In relation to the mechanical properties, these samples were found to be very flexible in the elasticity test. The extrusion method provided adequate adhesion between the interfaces of the matrix with the fiber. The composite showed a tensile strength of approximately 55% larger than that originated by pressing. However, the values for the tensile, flexural and impact strength were lower than expected due to the lack of homogeneity of the SBS paperboard shavings.

title: Cellulose acetate and silver particles composite synthesis to antimicrobial applications

description: ABSTRACT The present work had the objective to use agroindustrial residues, specifically cellulosic fibers from banana peel stalks, to obtain cellulose acetate. This product, in turn, was used as a matrix in an antimicrobial composite for food packaging, consisting of cellulose acetate and silver particles. The silver particles were produced by microwave-assisted hydrothermal synthesis from the reduction of silver nitrate using trisodium cit-rate. The obtained particles had a mean diameter of 433.6 nm. The composite was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), tensile strength test, thermogravimetric analysis, Fourier trans-form infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and UV-visible spectroscopy. The results showed a fracture strain 25% greater than the commercial polymers without the addition of fillers, achieving about 43 MPa. In addition, bactericidal properties were obtained in relation to the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli when in direct contact with the composite film formed.

title: Mechanical behavior and water absorption in sisal/glass hybrid composites

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to assess the effect of hybridization on thermomechanical properties and water absorption of composite materials, by introducing sisal fiber tissue into the material. To that end, two composite material plates were manufactured, the first with five layers of E-glass reinforcement mat and the second with three layers of E-glass fiber interspersed with two layers of sisal fibers, both used as an orthophthalic polyester resin matrix. The material was then submitted to tensile, three-point bending and water absorption tests. It was observed that hybridization causes a change in both the final strength and stiffness of the material.

title: Matéria Evaluation of zinc oxide nanoparticles influence on hydrophilic polymer matrix systems

description: ABSTRACT Hydrophilic polymer matrix systems (HPMSs) are a highly relevant tool for drugs delivery whose bioavailability is impaired by low hydrosolubility. Besides this, when associated with nanoparticles these systems can provide better control over release profile of the active drug, maintaining the posology. Since polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and zinc oxide (ZnO) are safe materials for use in the human body, we studied the effects of ZnO nanoparticle ratios on the characteristics of PVP matrix. For that purpose, nanocomposites were prepared by solution casting method and characterized by X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Thermal Gravimetric Analyses (TGA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), X-ray Diffraction (XDR) and Low-field Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (LF-NMR) technique, using relaxometry. We also analyzed the effects of the system on two broad-spectrum antimicrobial drugs. The characterization results of the new materials indicate good interaction of the nanoparticles with the polymer, and this fact suggests that these new materials may have a retarding effect on drug release. The results also showed no disruptive interaction of the matrix system important to the action of the antimicrobials.

title: Three hardwoods technological properties characterization deteriorated by termites

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to determine technological properties of Corymbia maculata. Eucalyptus dunnii and Eucalyptus saligna forest species, and to verify the changes in the characteristics of these Woods after food preference assay with Nasutitermes termites. The food preference assay was conducted through of the standard ASTM D 3345 (2008) adapted, evaluating the mass loss and mechanical properties at the end of the corresponding period. To obtain the results, the basic specific mass (μEB) was analyzed, with the aid of standard ASTM D 143 (2014), Janka hardness in the tangential and radial planes and the elasticity modulus (EC) and compression resistence (FC), both obtained by the compression parallel to grain test, before and after the termites attack. About the technological properties, it was verified that the Corymbia maculata species had the highest μEB (0.674 g/cm3) and mechanical resistance, with the highestvalues of Janka hardness in both anatomical planes (tangential = 664.6 kgf/cm2, radial = 593.8 kgf/cm2) and parameters related to compression parallel to grain (EC = 294.873 kgf/cm2, FC = 667.7 kgf/cm2). After the Nasutitermes termites test, the greatest mass loss was observed in the Eucalyptus dunnii species, thus indicating its food preference. These caused insignificant decreases in the mechanical properties, when compared to those measured before the food preference assay. From the results obtained, it is concluded that the wood deterioration by Nasutitermes, together with the anatomical characteristics, caused variations in the technological properties analyzed, however, the species Eucalyptus saligna and Corymbia maculata showed high natural resistance in relation to the termites.

title: Effect of topical ozonetherapy on gingival wound healing in pigs: histological and immuno-histochemical analysis

description: Abstract In this study, the effects of ozonetherapy on secondary wound healing were evaluated histologically and immuno-histochemically. Material and Methods: 8 healthy pigs were used in this study. Six wounds with 10 mm in diameter were created through the punch technique on the palatinal gingiva of each pig. Ozone gas was applied on only 3 wounds (test group) and the remaining 3 were left to natural healing (control group). Biopsy samples were taken from one of the wounds in each group on the third day, from another wound of each group on the seventh day, and from another one on the tenth day. Routine histological analysis and immuno-histochemical staining were performed to investigate transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) and (VEGF) expressions. Results: No statistical difference was found between the test and control groups in terms of collagen fibers, epithelial formation and inflammation scores. A VEGF expression found in the test group was statistically higher than control group samples taken on the 3rd and 7th day. There was no statistical difference between the test and control groups in terms of TGF-β expression on any of the sampling days. Conclusion: The topical application of ozone gas could be effective in the early stages of wound healing by increasing the amount of VEGF expression. Clinical Relevance: Topical application of ozone gas may be effective in the early stages of oral wound healing.

title: Evaluation of the influence of the monomer (methyl methacrylate) / wax (cetyl palmitate) and process methodology on the preparation of nanocapsules containing phase change material via emulsion polymerization

description: ABSTRACT In this work, nanocapsules containing Phase Change Material (PCM) were produced by means of the encapsulation process via emulsion polymerization, using the cetyl palmitate wax as encapsulated material and the methyl methacrylate monomer as encapsulant, through two different process methodologies. The wax / monomer mass ratio was also evaluated in the production of the nanocapsules. The samples were submitted to characterizations, with the objective of evaluating the stability and physical integrity of the nanocapsules after drying in the stove, their thermal behavior (DSC), their morphological aspects (SEM), average particle size, solids content and cyclic operational potential. Analyzing the obtained results, it was observed that both the production process methodology and the variation of the wax / monomer ratio directly influenced the formation of the nanocapsules and the average particle size, and the samples produced through Method II presented better results regarding formation of the nanocapsules with particle size of the order of 200 nm, with high wax / monomer ratio and stable to cyclic temperature processes.

title: Nursing professionals' knowledge regarding the management of waste produced in primary health care

description: ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the knowledge of Nursing professionals regarding waste management in primary healthcare services. Method: Descriptive study with a mixed approach, developed with 42 nursing professionals who worked in basic health units of a capital in the Brazilian Northeast Region. Quantitative variables were analyzed by the SPSS 20.0 program. Reports were processed by the IRaMuTeQ software, analyzed according to the descending hierarchical classification, and grounded on the Collective Subject Discourse. Results: Low knowledge scores were obtained, associated with specific socioeconomic and training variables. Analysis of collected reports allowed to identify three classes: "Inadequate waste disposal: first and main step"; "Correct disposal improves service quality and prevents diseases"; and "Consequences associated with incorrect disposal". Conclusion: The knowledge of professionals falls short of the expectations to adequately manage waste produced in primary health care and is concentrated on the initial steps, mainly the disposal process.
