Plasma-enhanced synthesis and modification of polymers is a field that continues to expand
and become increasingly more sophisticated. The highly reactive processing environments …

High performance polymer fibers, such as polyester, aliphatic and aromatic polyamides, are
well established in several technical applications, including personal protection equipment …

Dual-phase steel DP590 and carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) were successfully
joined by laser welding. Experiments and numerical simulations were performed to clarify …

Sometimes, vegetable-tanned leathers in museums, excavations, libraries, and storehouses
deteriorate due to unsuitable environmental conditions that affect their properties …

Abstract Polyamide 11 and 12 (PA11 and PA12) have been applicable in various industries,
including automotive, oil and gas, and sporting goods, over the past 70 years. Although they …

This study targeted wettability and adhesion enhancement of polyamide (PA) foil surface by
plasma treatment at atmospheric pressure. Volume dielectric barrier discharge (VDBD) and …

Surface treatments are commonly employed on woven fabrics to render properties such as
dyeability, antibacterial feature, self-cleaning, etc. A variety of environmentally benign cold …

In this study, we present a novel approach for enhancing the performance of Quercetin-
loaded nanofiber drug delivery systems through the modification of Polycaprolactone (PCL) …

Carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) and Al5052 sheets were joined by coaxial one-side
resistance spot welding (COS-RSW). The cross-section features and mechanical behaviour …

Surface wettability plays an important role in determining the function of a wound dressing.
Dressings with hydrophobic surfaces are suitable for bacterial adsorption, however, a …
