The ESEM images of geopolymers containing 4 10 wt% of HAP showed some non-reacted or partially reacted particles that do not well connect to the matrix.
Open image in new window Fig. 10 SEM images of epoxy incorporating 1.0 % MWCNTs with different magnifications showing how CNTs are connected to the polymer matrix.
During the preparation process, silane-functionalized alumina nanoparticles, are covalently connected to the epoxy matrix by the reaction of the amine groups with the epoxy groups, creating stronger interfacial interactions between the nanoalumina (the filler) and the EP matrix.
The myofibroblast expresses a highly contractile form of actin, α-smooth muscle actin (α−SMA) which is connected to the extracellular matrix (ECM) through specialized cell surface structured called focal adhesions (FAs) [3], [4].
They extend from the nucleus to the internal leaflet of the plasma membrane and because they are connected to the extracellular matrix via the integrins, they are components of an intrinsic system that regulate the mechanical properties of cells during cellular processes such as cell movement.
Signalling through these receptors influences changes to the cell's cytoskeleton network, which is connected to the nuclear matrix and chromatin.
These data are entirely consistent with isoform 1 localizing to sites under tension, since the tips of the tallest stereocilia rows in vestibular hair cells are coupled to the kinocilium, which is ultimately connected to the otoconial matrix.
The acquisition system connected to the detection matrices is composed of 64-channel Hamamatsu H8804-MOD5 pluggedltintoers plugged into a front-end board connected to an acquisition board specifically developed for the OPERA experiment (Detection of Neutrino oscillation between CERN and Gran Sasso) (Girerd et al., 2000; PATENT, 2006).
Values of diffusivity, varying from 0.57 × 10−9 m2 s−1 for cooked ham to 1.42 × 10−9 m2 s−1 for butter with an intermediate value of 0.88 × 10−9 m2 s−1 for processed cheese, tended to be closely connected to the composition of the matrix (fat, protein and water contents).
They are connected to the eigenvalues of the matrices A A T and A T A in a manner such that λ i = σ i 2 ( i = 1, …, ℓ ) and λ 1 ≥ λ 2 ≥ ⋯ ≥ λ ℓ.
