Improving Adhesion between Fiber and Coating Material

Enhancement of adhesion between resin coating materials and resin cements.

Resin coating technique is a unique method that improves the dentin bond strength of resin cements in indirect restorations. However, the weak link of a specimen bonded using the resin coating technique was reported to be the bonded interface between the resin coating material and resin cement. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to enhance the bonding performance between a resin coating ...

Theoretical and Experimental Investigation into the Adhesion between Fiber-Reinforced Bitumen and Aggregates by Using Pull-out Method

Bubble Elimination for Coating Material

Bubbles in coating color greatly influence the paper quality and coater runnability. It is particularly important technology to remove bubbles for the paper coating industry. Recently, one of the authors has developed a novel device using swirl flow capable of eliminating bubbles and decreasing dissolved gases from fluid. This device is called the “Bubble Eliminator”. Using the bubble eliminato...

Fiber coating with surfactant solutions

When a fiber is withdrawn at low speeds from a pure fluid, the variation in the thickness of the entrained film with imposed fiber velocity is well-predicted by the Landau–Levich–Derjaguin ~LLD! equation. However, surfactant additives are known to alter this response. We study the film thickening properties of the protein BSA ~bovine serum albumin!, the nonionic surfactant Triton X-100, and the...

Roughness Model for Adhesion Testing of Pharmaceutical Coating Materials

Objective Roughness is the main parameter in interlocking bonding mechanism. Yet there is no model designed to evaluate the effect of surface roughness on adhesion of coating materials in pharmaceutical sciences. Materials and Methods In this study polymethyl metacrylate spherical beads with different sizes were poured into 10 mm mold, then it was pressed by hand screw and finally heated to 141...
