Development of physical and mechanical properties of a cold-curing structural adhesive in a dry bridge environment

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Maria Savvilotidou

The effect of physical aging and continuation of curing on the physical and mechanical properties of a commercial cold-curing structural epoxy adhesive used in bridge construction has been investigated during the first year. Since adhesive bridge joints ar ...

An in-situ assessment of low-density polyethylene and silicone rubber passive samplers using methods with and without performance reference compounds in the context of investigation of polychlorinated biphenyl sources in rivers

Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Nicolas Estoppey, Adrien Schopfer, Camille Fong

This study firstly aims to assess the field performances of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and silicone rubber (SR) samplers for the monitoring of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in water regarding the uptake, the sam- pling rate (RS) estimated by using ...

Comparative Results From a National Joint Registry Hip Data Set of a New Cross-Linked Annealed Polyethylene vs Both Conventional Polyethylene and Ceramic Bearings

Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

Background: Major concerns in hip arthroplasty concern the fate of bearing surfaces. Highly cross-linked polyethylene materials (HXLPE) currently demonstrate successful in vitro results with new technical procedures of cross-linking the polyethylene materi ...

Velocity profiles of turbidity currents flowing over a flat bed

Anton Schleiss, Giovanni De Cesare, Sabine Chamoun

Turbidity currents are the main source of suspended sediment transport in reservoirs and thus one of the main causes of sedimentation. One of the techniques used to avoid reservoir sedimentation is through venting of turbidity currents. In the framework of ...

Effect of water velocity on the uptake of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) by silicone rubber (SR) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) passive samplers. An assessment of the efficiency of performance reference compounds (PRCs) in river-like flow conditions

Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Nicolas Estoppey, Julien Omlin, Adrien Schopfer

One aim of this study is to determine the impact of water velocity on the uptake of indicator polychlorinated biphenyls (iPCBs) by silicone rubber (SR) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) passive samplers. A second aim is to assess the efficiency of perfor ...

Hydrophobic Meshes for Oil Spill Recovery Devices

Francesco Stellacci

Widespread use of petrochemicals often leads to accidental releases in aquatic environments, occasionally with disastrous results. We have developed a hydrophobic and oleophilic mesh that separates oil from water continuously in situ via capillary action, ...
