Change of Tensile Properties with Aging Time and Temperature in Al-Si-Cu-Mg 354 Cast Alloys with/without Minor Addition of Ni and/or Zr by J. Hernandez-Sandoval, M. H. Abdelaziz, E. A. Elsharkawi, A. M. Samuel, F. H. Samuel

“…The principal aim of the present research work was to investigate the effects of minor additions of nickel and zirconium on the strength of cast aluminum alloy 354 at room temperature (25°C). A decrease in tensile properties of ∼10% with the addition of 0.4 wt.% nickel is attributed to a nickel-copper reaction which interferes with the formation of Al2Cu precipitates. …”

Self-Healing Photocurable Epoxy/thiol-ene Systems Using an Aromatic Epoxy Resin by Ricardo Acosta Ortiz, Omar Acosta Berlanga, Aída Esmeralda García Valdez, Rafael Aguirre Flores, José Guadalupe Télles Padilla, María Guadalupe Méndez Padilla

“…The disulfide bonds introduced in the copolymer using the thiol-disulfide oligomer allowed the repairing of the test specimens in as little as 10 minutes when the specimens were heated at 80°C or for 500 minutes at room temperature. The analysis of the mechanical properties using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) showed that the specimens displayed a healing efficiency up to 111% compared with the unhealed specimens, depending on the amount of polythioethers present in the copolymer.…”
