Effect of post-deposition solution treatment and ageing on improving interfacial adhesion strength of cold sprayed Ti6Al4V coatings Universiteit Gent
Ionic strength controls long-term cell-surface interactions – A QCM-D study of S. cerevisiae adhesion, retention and detachment KU Leuven
Understanding microbial adhesion and retention is crucial for controlling many processes, including biofilm formation, antimicrobial therapy as well as cell sorting and cell detection platforms. Cell detachment is inextricably linked to cell adhesion and retention and plays an important part in the mechanisms involved in these processes. Physico-chemical and biological forces play a crucial role in microbial adhesion interactions and altering ...
Effect of process parameters on the adhesion strength in two-component injection molding of thermoset rubbers and thermoplastics KU Leuven
Recently, a novel two‐component injection molding process has been developed for combining thermoplastics with thermoset rubbers. This process is of interest for example when thermoplastic parts include seals which are usually produced out of thermoset rubber. The present study evaluates the influence of different process parameters on the bond strength by means of a half factorial experimental design. The considered process parameters are the ...
Effect of van der Waals interactions on the adhesion strength at the interface of the hydroxyapatite-titanium biocomposite Universiteit Antwerpen
Hydroxyapatite (HAP) is frequently used as biocompatible coating on Ti-based implants. In this context, the HAP-Ti adhesion is of crucial importance. Here, we report ab initio calculations to investigate the influence of Si incorporation into the amorphous calcium-phosphate (a-HAP) structure on the interfacial bonding mechanism between the a-HAP coating and an amorphous titanium dioxide (a-TiO2) substrate, contrasting two different density ...
Predicting the adhesion strength of thermoplastic/glass interfaces from wetting measurements KU Leuven
© 2018 Elsevier B.V. To evaluate compatibility between a substrate and a thermoplastic polymer, the established methodology is to estimate their surface composition in terms of surface energy components, utilizing the results of contact angle measurements of probe liquids onto substrate and polymer surfaces at room temperature. Using this methodology, polymer surfaces are studied in solid state, however, during spreading of polymers on a ...
On the development of unmodified mud grouts for repairing earth constructions: rheology, strength and adhesion KU Leuven
The conservation and rehabilitation of several sites of cultural heritage and of the large housing stock built from earth requires the development of techniques and materials compatible with this kind of construction. Grout injection is one repair solution which has been put forward over the last few years, whereas there is preference for employing grouts that incorporate earth in their composition. However, knowledge of such grouts is still ...
