Surface treatments on a polypropylene (PP) fibre have contributed to the improvement of
fibre/concrete adhesion in fibre-reinforced concrete. The treatments to the PP fibre were …

A developed route to form TiO2 self cleaning coatings on polycarbonate substrates is
reported. TiO2 coatings on plastics may find widespread application in auto and construction …

In this study, the potential effect of bacterial nano-cellulose on mechanical properties of
cement mortar was evaluated. For this purpose, bacterial nano-cellulose (BNC) directly as …

This review covers the use of plasma technology relevant to the preparation of dressings for
wound healing. The current state of knowledge of plasma treatments that have potential to …

Bamboo fibres recently attracted interest as a sustainable reinforcement fibre in (polymer)
composite materials, due to specific mechanical properties which are comparable to glass …

In this work, low-pressure nitrogen plasma has been used to improve wettability in a
polyurethane film. Evaluation of wettability changes has been carried out using contact …

A novel and efficient cold plasma-based approach is described for upgrading heat-sensitive
biomaterials, which are unable to be exposed to plasma environments. The indirect plasma …

TiN granular thin films were deposited on SiO 2 substrates using cathodic cage plasma
nitriding (CCPN) and SEM images, roughness analysis, contact angle measurements, and X …

Pure and plasma-treated Kevlar fabrics were used to prepare Kevlar fabric/phenolic
composites by consecutive dipping of the fabric in phenolic adhesive resin. The friction and …

The biomaterials surface, which may only be a few atomic layers thick, constitutes the
important interface between the biomaterials and the external biological environment and …
