Improved adhesion between nickel–titanium shape memory alloy and a polymer matrix via silane coupling agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
NiTi wires were functionalized with silane coupling agents to improve interfacial adhesion between the inorganic constituent and a host matrix for composite applications. Surface derivatization was characterized by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, and mechanical pullout tests were performed to quantify the increase in adhesion between the NiTi shape memory alloy wires and polymer matrix. Improvements of roughly 100% in the adhesion was realized as compared to unfunctionalized samples or to samples functionalized with an unreactive silane coupling agent. q 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

Enhancement of interfacial properties of basalt fiber reinforced nylon 6 matrix composites with silane coupling agents
In this work solution surface treatment was applied for producing basalt fiber reinforced PA6 matrix composites. Beyond scanning electron microscopy, static and dynamic mechanical tests, dynamic mechanical analysis of composites was used for qualifying the interfacial adhesion in a wide temperature range. The loss factor peak height of loss factor is particularly important, because it is in clo...

متن کاملOn the Design of Shape Memory Alloy Locking Mechanism: A Novel Solution for Laparoscopic Ligation Process
The blood ducts must be occluded to avoid loss of blood from vessels in laparoscopic surgeries. This paper presents a locking mechanism to be used in a ligation laparoscopic procedure (LigLAP I), as an alternative solution for a stapling procedure. Currently, stapling devices are being used to occlude vessels. Using these devices may result in some problems, including injury of bile duct, takin...

A process for fabrication of shape memory alloy MEMS actuators on a elastomeric polymer substrate is described. These actuators are designed for use on innovative soft body robots. Patterned shape memory alloy (nitinol) is sputter deposited on a polyimide mesh structure. The mesh substrate acts as a bias spring to de-twin the shape memory alloy in the martensite phase. Significant portions of t...
متن کاملEffect of Silane Coupling Agent on Tribological Properties of Hemp Fiber-Reinforced Plant-Derived Polyamide 1010 Biomass Composites
We have studied the effects of silane coupling agents used for the surface treatment of fiber on the tribological properties of hemp fiber (HF) reinforced plant-derived polyamide 1010 (PA1010) biomass composites. Hemp fibers were surface-treated by two surface treatment methods: (a) alkali treatment by sodium hydroxide solution and (b) surface treatment by silane coupling agents. Three types of...
