The BAS EN ISO/IEC 17025 standard gives the laboratory the opportunity to accredit the statement of conformity. The statement of conformity is provided in accordance with the specification, standard or costumer requirement. Prior to issuing the statement of conformity, the accredited laboratory, in cooperation with the costumer, must document the d...

This paper examines all transport properties (such as e.g. mechanical resistance, electrical and thermal conductivity, photosensitivity, magnetization, etc.) which are caused by the electron motion in crystalline nanofilms, with two sublattices. We have performed theoretical research using the method of two-time and temperature-dependent Green's fu...

In this paper, we studied the superlattice model, as a special class of materials in which the "nodes" of the crystal lattice are made up of interconnected thin films with a certain regular and periodic arrangement. We have theoretically determined the energy spectra that exciton quasiparticles can have in these structures. The number of film layer...

Fillers play a crucial role in enhancing product performance and reducing production costs. To be used in various industries, fillers must be readily available, affordable, pure, non-toxic, and meet specific physical and chemical standards. This study examines limestone and dolomite fillers, focusing on their chemical composition, mineralogical pro...

Monitoring cavitation erosion in materials is crucial for their performance in environments characterized by severe fluid flow conditions. Materials such as metals, ceramics, and composites, commonly used in these applications, must possess specific mechanical properties to effectively resist cavitation erosion. Additionally, various environmental ...

In this work, I aim to examine the various influences of process parameters on the physical and mechanical properties of extruded polystyrene (XPS). Since XPS belongs to the group of thermoplastic polymers, its properties are significantly affected by thermal treatment, particularly temperature and pressure. However, in addition to these key factor...

The study investigates the Portevin–Le Chatelier (PLC) effect in the cold rolled Al-Mg alloy EN AW-5754. The tensile tests were performed on dog bone specimens at test speeds of 10, 20 and 50 mm/min. Digital image correlation (DIC) and infrared thermography were used to monitor strain rate and temperature changes. The results showed a strong ...

Fuels are substances that release heat energy during combustion due to the oxidation process that occurs. In order for a substance to serve as fuel, it is important that it has a high calorific value, which is most affected by the carbon content. Sulfur has a very small effect on this characteristic of the fuel but is considered as a negative compo...

In this research, the resulsts of bentonite characterization by XRF before and after adsorption are presented. The influence of temperature and pH on the capacity and efficiency of adsoption of lead (II) ions using bentonite is determined by adsorption experiments for initial lead (II) concentrations of 200, 300 and 400 mg/L, adsorbent dosage of 1 ...

Ferrochrome slag is a by-product of ferrochrome alloy production, which is an important component of stainless steel.  The total production of ferrochrome slag, which increases significantly every year with the increase in stainless steel production, is more than 1.1-1.5 times higher than the production of ferrochrome metal. In order to conser...
