Hydroxyapatite (HA) powder was treated with different silane adhesion promoters, to
optimize its performance as a filler in polymer composites. The silane coupling agents …

This work addresses the tensile, impact, and free vibration properties of sisal/coconut sheath
fiber hybrid-reinforced unsaturated polyester composites. The hybrid composites are …

This study reports in vitro biocompatibility screening of different kinds of silane-treated
hydroxyapatite (HA) powders, for use as modified filler in resorbable composite. The silane …

Completely resorbable composites are an attractive alternative for metallic bone-fracture
fixation devices. However, failure of their interfacial integrity within aqueous environments …

Retaining a robust fibre-matrix interface in an aqueous environment has been an enduring
challenge for fibre-reinforced biocomposites. This study addresses the issue by applying a …

Eight compatibilizing agents were studied to investigate their effect on the quality of the
interface between a phosphate glass fiber and a poly (lactic acid)(PLA) matrix. After …

Functionalized-inorganic powders were obtained by the chemisorption of a series of
substituted trimethoxysilanes on the surface of spherical and hexagonal hydroxyapatite …

In this study three chemical agents Amino-propyl-triethoxy-silane (APS), sorbitol ended PLA
oligomer (SPLA) and Hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) were identified to be used as …

Fibres were manufactured from bioactive glass 9-93 by melt spinning. The manufactured
fibres were further characterized by measuring their mechanical properties. The tensile …

Silane (3-Aminopropyl-triethoxy-silane) solutions with differing concentrations (0—10 wt%)
were prepared from an aqueous ethanol solution (90% ethanol+ 10% deionized water, by …
