The surface of wood/polyethylene (PE) composites were treated by mechanical polishing treatment and coating treatment, and the structure of surface for wood/PE composites before and after treatment was characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) in this paper. Combined with bonding strength test, the effect of coupling agent KH-560 (2,3-epoxypropoxypropyltrimethoxysilicane) on bonding properties of wood/PE composites was also investigated. The results showed that, the -OH, -C-O- and C=O functional groups were appeared on the treated surface and the surface roughness increased after mechanical polishing treatment and coating treatment, which increased the shear bonding strength for the treated sample significantly. And the coupling agent KH-560 can increase the bonding strength for the composite more significantly due to the co-reaction of epoxy groups which introduced by coupling agent with epoxy resin adhesives.

This paper presents the effect of blade type and feeding force during resin-bonded dentin specimen preparation on the microtensile bond strength (μTBS) test. Forty resin-bonded flat middle dentin specimens were divided into four groups. The specimens of each group were sectioned according to type of blade and feeding force as follows: fine grit/20 N, fine grit/40 N, medium grit/20 N, and medium grit/40 N to obtain resin-dentin sticks with a cross-sectional area of 1.0 mm2. Four sticks from the center of each tooth were subjected to the μTBS test. Five remaining sticks of each group were selected for surface topography observation under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). As a result, the bond strength of the medium-grit group was higher than that of the fine-grit group (p < 0.001), whereas the feeding force had no influence on bond strength values (p = 0.648). From the SEM, sticks prepared with the fine-grit blade showed a smoother surface integrity and fewer defects on the specimen edges in comparison with the sticks prepared with the medium-grit blade. The grit type of the blade is one of the considerable factors that may affect the bond strength and the surface integrity of resin-dentin specimens for microtensile testing.

The electrochemical behavior and the interaction of the immunosuppressive drug azathioprine (AZA) with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) were investigated using voltammetric techniques, mass spectrometry (MS), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The redox mechanism of AZA on glassy carbon (GC) was investigated using cyclic and differential pulse (DP) voltammetry. It was proven that the electroactive center of AZA is the nitro group and its reduction mechanism is a diffusion-controlled process, which occurs in consecutive steps with formation of electroactive products and involves the transfer of electrons and protons. A redox mechanism was proposed and the interaction of AZA with DNA was also investigated. Morphological characterization of the DNA film on the electrode surface before and after interaction with AZA was performed using scanning electron microscopy. An electrochemical DNA biosensor was employed to study the interactions between AZA and DNA with different concentrations, incubation times, and applied potential values. It was shown that the reduction of AZA molecules bound to the DNA layer induces structural changes of the DNA double strands and oxidative damage, which were recognized through the occurrence of the 8-oxo-deoxyguanosine oxidation peak. Mass spectrometry investigation of the DNA film before and after interaction with AZA also demonstrated the formation of AZA adducts with purine bases.

This paper compares the adhesion strength between three polymeric fibres (polypropylene (PP), nylon66 (N66) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN)) embedded in a cement paste. The specimens were prepared at a water to cement ratio (w/c) of 0.5 and tested after 7, 14 and 28 curing days. It was found that although the adhesion between the polymeric fibres to the cement matrix is an important factor, the energy absorption capacity or energy dissipation ability of the fibres, plays a more important role in the improvement of the cementitious composites fracture toughness. Scanning electron micrographs were used to characterize the fibres surface before and after the Pull-out tests.

Introduction. Elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) supplementation was previously reported to enhance the physical properties of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA). The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of ELP supplementation on the bonding properties of MTA to dentin. Methods. Two types of ELPs were synthesized and mixed with MTA in a 0.3 liquid/powder ratio. The push-out bond strength test and interfacial observation with scanning electron microscopy were performed for ELP-supplemented MTA. The porosity of MTA fillings in the cavity was observed with microcomputed tomography. The stickiness, flow rate, and contact angle were additionally measured for potential increased bonding properties. Results. ELP supplementation improved the bond strength of MTA to dentin. MTA supplemented by a specific ELP exhibited a less porous structure, higher stickiness, and higher flow rate. ELPs also decreased the contact angle to dentin. Conclusions. This research data verifies that ELP improves the bonding properties of MTA to a tooth structure. The sticky and highly flowable characteristics of ELP-supplemented MTA may provide intimate contact with dentin and supply a less porous cement structure, which might improve the bonding properties of MTA.

Scanning electron microscope allowed us to get screens of different cheese microstructure that form a base for further investigation of a cheese structure state before and after the process of drying and for their comparison. Any cheese structure presents a matrix of proteins penetrated with moisture capillaries; fat globules are located both inside the protein matrix and on a cheese surface. Shape of capillaries is either round or oval. Capillaries vary in size and number that has an impact on the cheese pattern which is described by hole and void shapes and order. Electron microscopy was also used for detecting deposition of calcium phosphate. Particles of calcium phosphate changed in size, before drying they were 10–12 µm, and after drying they reached 20–30 µ. These particles concentrate in the dried cheese and agglomerate into larger particles. The most concentrated calcium phosphate proportion was found in pores and micro-voids of the dry cheese. As for mature cheese samples, calcium lactate was established as well.

Nozzle of RKX100 rocket contributes 30 percent to the total weight of the structure, so that allowing further research on weight reduction. An alternative for this is by substitution of massive graphite, which is currently used as thermal protector in the nozzle, with thin layer of HVOF (High Velocity Oxy-Fuel) thermal spray layer. A series of study on the characteristics of various type of HVOF coating material have been being conducted. This paper presented the investigation on the HVOF Cr2C3-NiCr thermal spray coating, in particular, the optimization of bonding strength by varying surface roughness of substrates. Characterization included bonding strength test, micro hardness measurement and micro structural observation with optical microscope and scanning electron micriscope (SEM). The results showed that grit blasting pressure increass the surface roughness from 4,54 um to 5.72 um at the pressure of 6 bar. Average micro hardness of the coating was 631 VHN 300. Coating applied to the surface with rougness of 5.42 um possessed the highest bonding strength, 44 MPa. Microstructural observation by using optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM) confirmed dense lamellae structure with variable composition. High coating adherence was found to be due to mechanical interlocking.

Ultrasmall microelectrode arrays have the potential to improve the spatial resolution of microstimulation. Carbon fiber (CF) microelectrodes with cross-sections of less than 8 μm have been demonstrated to penetrate cortical tissue and evoke minimal scarring in chronic implant tests. In this study, we investigate the stability and performance of neural stimulation electrodes comprised of electrodeposited platinum-iridium (PtIr) on carbon fibers. We conducted pulse testing and characterized charge injection in vitro and recorded voltage transients in vitro and in vivo. Standard electrochemical measurements (impedance spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry) and visual inspection (scanning electron microscopy) were used to assess changes due to pulsing. Similar to other studies, the application of pulses caused a decrease in impedance and a reduction in voltage transients, but analysis of the impedance data suggests that these changes are due to surface modification and not permanent changes to the electrode. Comparison of scanning electron microscope images before and after pulse testing confirmed electrode stability.

Laminated glass and photovoltaic laminated glass are widely used in architecture. The interfacial bonding strengths between poly(vinyl butyral) (PVB) and glass were investigated by the cross-bonding method from room temperature to -50 °C. The loading speed was 5 mm/min, and the cooling speed was about 0.5 °C/min. The testing sample was hold at each temperature for half an hour. It was revealed that the testing temperature had great effect on the bonding strength. At room temperature, the tensile bonding strength was 11.49 MPa and the shear bonding strength was 6.61 MPa. With the temperature decreased from RT to -50 °C, the tensile bonding strength was decreased by 66.81%, but the shear bonding strength was increased by 212.16%. From RT to -30 °C, the change rates of the tensile and shear bonding strength bonding strength were 65.57% and 172.68% respectively, only 3.61% and 14.48% from -30 °C to -50 °C. The mechanism for the bonding strength depended on testing temperatures from RT to -50 °C was also discussed.
