Clinical Relevance Several surface treatments have been proposed for improving the
bonding of resin cements or core materials to FRC (fiber-reinforced composite) posts. The …

Sisal fibers were subjected to various chemical and physical modifications such as
mercerization, heating at 100° C, permanganate treatment, benzoylation and silanization to …

In the latest years industry is attempting to decrease the dependence on petroleum based
fuels and products due to the increased environmental consciousness. This is leading to the …

A two-step surface treatment was applied on the surfaces of polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based
carbon fibers (CFs) including the electrochemical oxidation process followed by grafting of …

In this work, polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based carbon fiber were chemically modified with
H2SO4, KClO3 and silane coupling agent (γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, APS), and carbon …
