A proper understanding of abrasion resistance and associated damage mechanisms is of vital importance in the design of improved abrasion resistant construction steels.
Stilbene copolymers have been claimed in the patent literature to be useful in lubricants [37], lubricating oil additives [2, 31], thermal stability additives for photoresists [42], and improved stain resistant polyamide textiles [11], although successful commercialization of these potential applications is not known.
PMB0225 is a Spanish improved cultivar resistant to the bean common mosaic virus, which shows indeterminate erect growth habit type II, white flowers and large seeds.
Other technological improvements planned by that date include a device that will give a cab's exact location at any given moment, a monitor that will allow passengers to track their routes on a computerized map, equipment for the commission to send text messages to drivers, and improved scratch-resistant partitions.
Steady progress is being made on the development of improved, radiation-resistant ferritic martensitic steels, V alloys and SiC composites.
The proposed methodology enables improved blast-resistant design of precast concrete wall panels versus the current state-of-practice without significant sacrifices in analytical efficiency.
Natural fiber reinforced composites with dual-functional properties, including electromagnetic shielding and paramagnetic functions, as well as improved water-resistant property, were fabricated using vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process.
The wear resistance of drill margins is critical for the drilling performance in this test, and the dense columnar (Al,Ti N films with low strains showed greatly improved wear-resistant characteristics of the drills.
In the drier areas, that means distributing improved, drought-resistant seeds.
