Durable delustered PET (PET-TiO2) fabric super hydrophilic surface has been obtained by plasma selecting etching. The aging effect of their hydrophilicity after treatment investigated with storage time. After Ar/O2 radio frequency (RF) for only 1 min, PET-TiO2 showed water contact angle 0o. 10 month time, it keeps its below 75.7o. Further more, Xenon light irradiation is firstly found that well...

In this contribution, the causes leading to undesired unevenness on exterior surface of a paper-based sandwich structure during manufacturing process are investigated. This provides insight into parameters that need be adjusted reduce waviness. A finite element model pressing is developed in commercial software ABAQUS and then used analyze formation unevenness. The adopted consists decorative l...

Chemical crosslinks in collagens resulting from binding of advanced glycation end-products, have long been presumed to alter the stiffness and permeability of glycated tissues. Recently, we developed a stochastic mechanical model for the response and failure of uniaxially deformed sciatic nerve tissue from diabetic and control rats. Here, we use our model to determine the likely correlation of ...

We propose a novel approach to surface flatness characterization in construction that relies on the combination of Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) and the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT). The former has the advantage over existing measurement technologies of providing both accurate and extremely dense measurement over surfaces. The latter provides the means to conduct frequency analysis wit...
