This review outlines the development of electroless Ni–P composite coatings. It highlights the method of formation, mechanism of particle incorporation, factors influencing particle incorporation, effect of particle incorporation on the structure, hardness, friction, wear and abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, high temperature oxidation resistance of electroless Ni–P composite coatings ...

The current study aims at exploring the beneficial effect of silica fume (SF) and acrylic emulsion polymer (PR) on enhanced properties polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) with supplementary cementitious binder comprised Portland cement, slag, fly ash. compressive strength impact-abrasion resistance were used for estimation engineering while water absorption performance, surface electr...

The installation procedures (which induce mechanical damage) and abrasion can cause unwanted changes on the properties of the geotextiles. In this work, a nonwoven polypropylene geotextile was subjected to three degradation tests: (1) mechanical damage, (2) abrasion and (3) mechanical damage followed by abrasion (successive exposure). The damage caused by the degradation tests was evaluated by ...

Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals are often measured for medical purposes and in sports. While common Ag/AgCl glued gel electrodes enable good electrode skin contact, even during movements, they not comfortable can irritate the long-term measurements. A possible alternative is textile electrodes, which have been investigated extensively last years. These however, usually able to provide reliable,...
