The CTE in the normal direction, α33, is greater than that of the matrix and increases as ρα increases but decreases as ρβ increases.
The introduction of pendent bulky groups along the polymer backbone results in a less ordered polymer matrix and increases the solubility characteristics without affecting thermal properties.
Indeed the presence of organic group on the surface of these nanoparticles imparts some degree of flexibility to the otherwise rigid silica matrix and increases the stability of them in aqueous systems.
This procedure simplifies the contact matrix and increases the efficiency of the SOM clustering.
Epidermal growth factor (EGF), incorporated with the matrix material, increases cell attachment to the implanted matrix and increases the spreading of mesenchymal stem cells [ 10].
This effect favors a more homogeneous distribution in the polymer matrix and increases the water uptake in the microspheres.
HA decreases the molecular size of the cartilage matrix and increases its proportion to the aggrecans by age-related change [ 25].
Morphological observations revealed that modified CNT was uniformly dispersed in the TLCP matrix and increased interfacial adhesion between the nanotubes and the polymer matrix.
A direct correlation between the Y-2411 phase inclusion content in the Y-123 matrix and increased magnetic flux pinning has been observed in these materials.
X-ray diffraction results revealed that the embedding of silicate platelets modified the texture of the Ni Mo matrix and increased the grain size.
