The toughness (area under the stress strain curves, W) determined in tensile testing experiments, in tear propagation experiments, and in suture retention strength measurements showed that PTMC networks prepared from the higher molecular weight macromers (Mn > 10,000 g mol−1) were tenacious materials.
Earley's tenacious grip on his material is not surprising, since he has been working on these books for much of the last 15 years.
Bioactive materials react with physiological fluids and form tenacious bonds to bone through the biological interaction of collagen fibers with the material surface and thus they can transfer loads to and from living bone.
AFRICAN RAP -- Africa gives hip-hop's endless hybridization plenty to work with: irresistible dance grooves, multiple languages, tenacious traditional music, and social conditions tough enough to provoke plenty of material.
"The human experience of being simultaneously tenacious and vulnerable is referred to through the use of silk, a material which is delicate yet possesses a tensile strength greater than steel.
Obsessed with material progress, the hyperrationalists ignored the lure of resentment for the left-behind, and the tenacious pleasures of victimhood.
Alongside co-director Daniel Scheinhert, they've made music videos for stars like Foster the People, Passion Pit, and Tenacious D, and until "Turn Down for What" they spent a year away from music videos working on new material for television and beginning their first feature-length project.
A. A formula developed by Paul Krebaum, a materials engineer in Lisle, Ohio, has been hailed by pet lovers as an effective remedy for the tenacious odors left in animal hair by oily sulfur compounds, called thiols, found in skunk spray.
Unlike the treatment in strong acids such as nitric acid/sulfuric acid mixtures, nitric acid and hydrochloric acid, PPA with or without additional P2O5 could selectively remove the tenacious carbonaceous and metallic impurities with little or no damage to the basic frameworks of SWCNTs and crystalline carbon materials.
