Abstract The effect of hydrophobic modification on the performances collagen fibers (CFs) was investigated by using silane coupling agents with different alkyl chains as modifiers. It found could be easily grafted onto CF surface through covalent bonds under 5% water content. This led to transformation wettability from hydrophilic hydrophobic. Interestingly, change resulted in substantial impro...

Abstract Objective Incorporating silane-coupling agent into universal adhesives (UAs) to simplify adhesive luting of glass-ceramic restorations appeared ineffective due silane’s instability in an acidic aqueous solution. This study aimed evaluate new silane technology added experimental UA be bonded glass ceramics without separate prior silanization. Methods Combined technology, consisting 3-(a...

An in-depth investigation of the incorporation silane-treated and untreated glass waste in concrete is presented this research. Coarse fine aggregates were replaced with 30 wt.-% 50 ratios, while powder was employed as an additive to 2 5 ratios. Physical, mechanical, microstructural surface chemical properties produced samples studied by conducting water absorption test, compressive splitting t...
