Abstract The effect of deformation the surface a supporting metal element on adhesion thin polymer film has been studied by an experimental-theoretical method. A setup developed that allows testing adhesive coatings at various deformations substrate materials. properties to have determined. An explanation results obtained is given.

A new Ultra Violet (UV) curable solution acrylic polymer based technology has been under development for manufacturing optically clear pressure sensitive adhesives. Monomers, functional groups, and formulating components can be selected to modify and tailor product properties for specific optically clear end uses. Refractive index, outgassing, heat resistance, and humidity resistance among othe...

An adhesive and conductive glue was created by synergistic assembly of graphene oxide (GO), single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and conjugate polymer PEDOT:PSS in aqueous solution. The GO–SWCNTs–PEDOT:PSS glue can be used as a binder to fabricate metal oxide nanoparticle based ultracapacitors. Since the functional nanoparticles are immersed in this conductive gel, uniform electrical and mec...

Polymer-modified mortar is made of with the addition copolymer acrylic. An acrylic one additives suitable for repair because it can increase overall durability cement. This research investigates bond strength between polymer-modified and concrete substrate treatment on surface. investigation focused determining effect copolymers strength. In addition, this study also investigated surface a bond...

The special topic ‘‘Metaland Polymer-Matrix Composites’’ is intended to capture the state of the art in the research and practice of functional composites. The current set of articles related to metal-matrix composites includes reviews on functionalities such as self-healing, self-lubricating, and selfcleaning capabilities; research results on a variety of aluminum-matrix composites; and invest...

We report an experimental study of the adhesion properties of polydopamine thin films and their bonding behavior on polymer, glass and metal surfaces. Dopamine is able to adsorb onto all surfaces and self-polymerize into a thin hydrophilic film. Dynamic contact angle measurements revealed a large contact angle hysteresis between advancing and receding angles and a possible hydration layer when ...

The effects of homogeneous low voltage electron beam irradiation (HLEBI) on the adhesive strength of different polymers without glue but with sterilization were investigated. HLEBI at more than 0.043MGy generated adhesive force and enhanced fracture strain at the interface in polycarbonate (PC) composites covered with nylon6 film. HLEBI at less than 0.130MGy increased the elasticity (d =d") and...

We have developed synthetic hydrogel extracellular matrix (ECM) analogues that can be used to study mechanisms involved in cell migration, such as receptor-ligand interactions and proteolysis. The biomimetic hydrogels consist of bioinert polyethylene glycol diacrylate derivatives with proteolytically degradable peptide sequences included in the backbone of the polymer and adhesive peptide seque...

PURPOSE This study examined the potential of a synthetic polymer to support stable epithelial growth when implanted in the feline cornea. METHODS A perfluoropolyether-based polymer was cast into lenticules that were coated with collagen I and implanted in four feline corneas. Epithelial growth onto the lenticules was monitored clinically for 6 weeks, after which time the animals were killed, ...

ABSTRACT: This paper explores the behavior of infill masonry structures strengthened with a new type of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) strengthening system with high fracture strain know as PET (Polyethylene Teraphthalate) and a new near-surface mounted (NSM) Carbon fiber strengthening system using a cementitious material as the adhesive as compared to a Glass Fiber (GFRP) strengthening system ...
