Abstract—The practical adhesion of maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (MAH-PE) to galvanised steel was studied using 3-point flexure tests, before and after hydrothermal ageing. Before bonding, the electro-galvanised steel was treated with γ -aminopropy ...
A process for making hollow composite structures or vessels which includes the steps of: A) heating a mixture of thermoplastic matrix and reinforcing fibres wrapped over a rigid or semi-rigid thermoplastic liner or bladder above the melting point of the th ...
Bonding between polyolefins and steel is widely found in applications as diverse as steel wire/cord reinforced polymers, and automotive components where steel and thermoplastics are commonly used. As polyolefins are highly unreactive, because of their low ...
This paper presents a fabrication of polymer microchips with homogeneous material technique due to surface treatment by plasma before sealing. UV laser photoablation was used for fast prototyping of microstructures, and oxygen plasma was used as a surface ...
Free radical polymerization is the most frequently used technique to produce synthetic polymers. They represent more than 25% of the total volume of materials made by the mankind. 3% thereof correspond to water soluble polymers with annual growth rates est ...
We report a simple way to synthesize carbon nanotubes and nanostructures from the solid phase. Vacuum annealing of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films or polyethylene mixed with catalyst in argon atmosphere leads to the formation of nanotubes and nanostructure ...
Equilibrium positions on the Li+-PEO and on the Cu++-PEO ground state potential energy surfaces have been determined by ab initio molecular dynamics. Our results confirm the previously proposed jump mechanism for ion diffusion in polymer electrolytes. The ...
Postsurgical adhesions represent a common complication following a variety of surgical procedures. We sought to develop and evaluate a water-soluble polymer that could self-assemble onto tissue surfaces, forming a barrier on the surface. A copolymer was sy ...
BACKGROUND: We present the synthesis, characterization and initial structure-function analysis of a new class of bioactive agent that allows the application of techniques from colloid science to biological surfaces. Stable colloidal suspensions can be gene ...
Placing concrete requires much more water than the cement needs for its hydration. This results in an important porosity in the hardened concrete, which accentuates the degradation of this material. By adding small amounts of polymeric admixtures, called s ...
