In this work, the effect of ageing and retrogression on polarization resistance Al 6061 was assessed, in order to improve corrosion alloy with a negligible tensile strength. The behavior studied by exposing an simulated marine environment, then, current density (icorr) measured. obtained results were correlated strength (TS) reported elsewhere both measured, icorr TS modeled multiple linear reg...

Aim of study: This study aimed to improve some physical, mechanical properties, and fire resistance wood-plastic composites (WPCs) with short glass fiber reinforcement (SGFR). Materials Methods: The WPCs were reinforced different ratios (SGF). effect on the water absorption (WA), thickness swelling (TS) as physical flexural strength, modulus elasticity, tensile strength properties determined. p...

background and aims. in order to fabricate prostheses with high accuracy and durability, soldering techniques have been introduced to clinical dentistry. however, these prostheses always fail at their solder joints. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of gap distance on the tensile strength of base metal solder joints. materials and methods. based on ada/iso 9693 specifications...

in the past decades, environmental pollution caused by plastic packing materials, restrictions of petroleum resources and their high price attracted many researchers to produce biodegradable packaging materials. poor mechanic properties and high water vapor permeability are two main defects of biodegradable polymers. nanotechnology is a modification method in this case. in the current study, th...

background and aims. adding further fillers to dental resins may enhance their physical characteristics. the aim of this study was to evaluate the tensile strength of heat-curing acrylic resin reinforced by tio2 nanoparticles added into the resin matrix. materials and methods. commercially available tio2 nanoparticles were obtained and characterized using x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning ele...

Gelatin films were prepared by casting. Tensile strength (TS) and elongation at break (Eb) of the gelatin films were found to be 46 MPa and 3.5%, respectively. Effect of gamma radiation (Co-60) on the thermo-mechanical properties of the gelatin films was studied. 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) was added to the gelatin during casting varying (10% 30% by weight) and found to increase the TS s...

objective: the objective of this study was to compare the tensile bond strength of metal brackets bonding to glazed ceramic surfaces using three various surface treatments. materials and methods: forty two glazed ceramic disks were assigned to three groups. in the first and second groups the specimens were etched with 9.5% hydrofluoric acid (hfa). subsequently in first group, ceramic primer and...
