Carboxylic acid-functionalized CNTs were self-assembled onto the carbon fiber mat to enhance their bonding reliability and achieve efficient electrical actuation for SMP matrix.
It also increased surface area of fibers, improved their compatibility with asphalt and enhanced their chemical bonding with asphalt, all of which resulted in overall increase of mechanical performance of asphalt.
Addition of sugar compounds in the samples produced having particles from young trunks with and without extracted material enhanced their bending and internal bond strength values.
The ability of phenols to form strong hydrogen bonds also enhances their solubility in water.
The presence of oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen atoms and multiple bonds in organic compounds enhances their adsorption ability and corrosion inhibition efficiency [1].
The professionals in this study consistently associated this with stroke survivors from minority ethnic backgrounds due to their perceived enhanced familial bonds and complexity of family interactions.
Test results show that the mechanically bonded interface highly enhanced the bond between the polymer and concrete core.
The results revealed that utilization of steel fiber enhanced the bond strength and the ductility of pull-out failure.
Fly ash, silica fume, expansive agent and SBR latex could improve the primers and bonding agents, and enhanced the bond strength.
Experimental results showed that using CNT modified epoxy resin enhanced the bond strength and ultimate slippage of the tested specimens.
