The tensile strength of cement paste was increased by 56% and the modulus and ductility were increased by 39% by using silane-treated carbon fibers and silane-treated silica fume, relative to the values for cement paste with as-received carbon fibers and as-received silica fume. Silane treatment of fibers and silica fume contributed about equally to the strengthening. Silane treatment of fibers...

Herein, we report a facile route to synthesize silane coated upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs@silane) with an ultrathin layer (the thickness: 1-2 nm), which not only provides good biocompatibility, but also affords hydrophobic interspace to load organic molecules to realize multifunctions. Besides the function of upconversion imaging of UCNPs, cancer therapy and oxygen level detection can also...

Silane-based plasmas are widely used to deposit nanostructured silicon thin films or to synthesize silicon nanoparticles. Dust particle formation in Ar/SiH4 plasmas is a continuous phenomenon: as long as silane precursors are provided, new dust generations are formed. Successive generations can be monitored thanks to various electrical (Vdc/3H) and optical (OES, video imaging) diagnostics. Expe...

Glass coating films have been developed by many researchers in recent years. However, mass commercialization of this technology is still inefficient, and optimal methods are needed to produce affordable products. This paper introduces a film preparation method through, which superimposed on silica glass utilizing geothermal waste, byproduct power plants. Geothermal waste has used as precursor m...

objective: ceramics have advantages such as optimal esthetics and biocompatibility. however, in the oral environment, they are subjected to high levels of stress due to masticatory forces, saliva, thermal changes and alterations of ph, which increase their risk of fracture. since replacement of these restorations is costly and time-consuming, composite resin is often used for intraoral repair o...

silane to improve the adhesion of phosphate monomer-based (MDP) resin cement to glass ceramic. Resin and feldspathic ceramic blocks (n=48, n=6 for bond test, n=2 for microscopy) were randomly divided into 6 groups and subject to surface treatments: G1: Hydrofluoric acid (HF) 9.6% for 20 s + Silane + MDP resin cement (Panavia F); G2: HF 9.6% for 20 s + Silane + Heat Treatment (oven) + Panavia F;...

The effects of an ammonia-based catalyst, surface coverage, organofunctional group and chain length on silane adhesion promoter efficacy were examined at a benzocyclobutene (BCB)/silicon dioxide interface with silanes of varying functionality and chain length. Fracture-mechanics-based techniques, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and contact-angle measurements were used to quantify the adhes...
