The wish to optimize the interactions between carbon fiber surface and polymer matrix and
the basic interest in the fundamentals of adhesion required fiber surface characterization by …

Sorbents that potentially can be used for separation of the products of biotechnological
conversion of glycerol were examined. Properties of Zeolite 5A, resins: Amberlite, Diaion …

Abstract Changes to the surface properties of cellulose induced by a dielectric barrier
discharge (DBD) plasma operating at atmospheric pressure in both air and an …

Knowledge of the physical interaction potential of silica is required to understand and
monitor the behavior of silica, particularly for important applications such as …

Hornification is the term used to describe the irreversible changes that occur in cellulose
fibers due to recycling. While the effects of hornification have been documented, there are …

Cellulose is inherently resistant to breakdown, and the native crystalline structure (cellulose
I) of cellulose is considered to be one of the major factors limiting its potential in terms of cost …

Surface characteristics of differently pretreated flax fibers have been studied using
electrokinetic analysis (EKA) and inverse gas chromatography (IGC). Semi-retted and retted …

A novel modified inverse gas chromatography (IGC) method has been developed to
investigate the surface properties of solid materials. On the modified IGC system, the every …

In this study, the surface characteristics, water vapor interactions, and state of water
adsorbed on unmodified and coated paper samples were investigated in an attempt to …
