Most interestingly, the matrix was not consistently composed, but exhibited three categories of pores.
The curing behavior of the epoxy matrix was not adversely affected by the inorganic phase.
Thus, hydrogen-induced embrittlement of the hcp Zr matrix was not confirmed.
However, at 2 million cycles, the metal matrix was not worn resulting in a significant improvement of the wear resistance.
Since polyacrylate plates were used for the study, the matrix was not completely hydrated and gelled even after 5 h.
The company said that its concrete matrix was not slippery when wet and did not produce condensation, suggesting that the traditional metal-framed vault lights suffered from those problems.
Changing to a matrix was not very costly, Mr. Jarvis said, and Alaska Airlines did not suffer a revenue decline even though it was easier for customers to compare fares.
Previous models of mud-loss exhibit two deficiencies: (1) fracture networks were not considered and (2) the fluid flow between the fracture and the matrix was not considered.
Katrina Ffrench, the chief executive of StopWatch, said the findings added weight to evidence suggesting the matrix was not fit for purpose and should be reviewed by the mayor of London with a view to scrapping it.
The enhancement in the composites mechanical properties was caused by classical load transfer into the platelets as the crystallinity of the polymeric matrix was not affected by the platelets.
In general, we observed that the distance from the forest matrix was not an important factor for the recovery of ant plant interactions at the scale of this study.
