Photocatalytic Recycled Mortars: Circular Economy as a Solution for Decontamination
(MDPI, 2020)
The circular economy is an economic model of production and consumption that involves reusing, repairing, refurbishing, and recycling materials after their service life. The use of waste as secondary raw materials is one ...
Experimental Study for the Stripping of PTFE Coatings on Al-Mg Substrates Using Dry Abrasive Materials
(MDPI, 2020)
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coatings are used in many applications and processing industries. With their use, they wear out and lose properties and must be replaced by new ones if the cost of the element so advises. ...
Estimation of the Cooling Rate of Six Olive Cultivars Using Thermal Imaging
(MDPI, 2021)
Bringing the olive harvest period forward leads to storing fruit in field temperatures that risk jeopardizing its quality. Knowledge about the bio-thermal characteristics of olives is crucial when considering their cooling, ...
