The critical load (a measure of adhesion strength) of AZ31 reached 13.1 N.
According to Concrete Repair Manual as well as ACI 562-16 and European EN 1504-10 standards, a bond strength as a measure of adhesion is one the main feature of repair system necessary to be assessed.
To prove the bioactivity of the fibers, parameters like cell viability, morphology (a measure of adhesion), and even stem cell differentiation could be studied.
Haemaglutination, for example, is regarded as a measure of adhesion of pathogens to the host which is the first step in colonization.
Ex vivo mucoadhesion experiments conducted on porcine vaginal mucosa founded on the technique of traction of the adhesive/adherent joint allowed the characterization of mucoadhesive properties of hydrogels by measuring work of adhesion (W) and maximum force of detachment (Fmax).
Preliminary experiments showed that 0.5 h after plating, 25 50% of the total cells in the assay had adhered to the plastic substratum and therefore 0.5 h was taken as an appropriate time period over which to measure rate of adhesion.
The purpose of the present review is to provide a survey of the various measures of preventing adhesions used in hysteroscopic surgery.
To measure the bond strength, which was the measure of durability of adhesion between the materials regardless of the location of the failure, the bonded specimen was mounted in a jig attached to a 500-N load cell in the testing machine.
The critical load in the micro-scratch test was used as a measure of scratch adhesion.
Moreover, a quantitative measure of cell adhesion demonstrated that tunicamycin pretreatment resulted in a fivefold increase in attachment of cells to the substratum (77% versus 16%).
