Fiberboard Made from Scrap Denim: Characterization of its Properties by Effective Bulk Modulus Elastography

Article describes how fiberboards from scrap denim were fabricated using two different resins, melamine urea formaldehyde (MUF) and polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (pMDI). Resin content and MUF-pMDI weight ratio were studied. Physical and mechanical tests determined the modulus of elasticity (MOE), modulus of rupture (MOR), internal bond (IB), thickness swell (TS), and water absorption (WA).

Investigation on drying kinetics analysis of gooseberry slices dried under open sun (open access)

Investigation on drying kinetics analysis of gooseberry slices dried under open sun

Article describes an experimental analysis of the drying behavior of gooseberry slices dried in the open sun. The authors used the hot air dryer method, and found that the moisture content of gooseberry slices in their initial condition was estimated to be 87.81% wet-basis.
