Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInvestigating Effects of Water Conditioning on the Adhesion Properties of Crack SealantAhmed Lamarre, Elham H. Fini, Taher M. Abu-LebdehThis paper investigates the effect of water exposure on three different crack sealants commonly used in cold, moderate and hot climates. It is hypothesized that water penetrates into the interface between crack sealant and substrates causing progressive adhesion failure and that the rate of failure varies depending on the sealant’s surface chemistry as relates to its interaction with water molecules … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 14 Mar 2016 · 8,778 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUse of Surface Energy to evaluate Adhesion of Bituminous Crack Sealants to AggregatesEllie H. Fini, Imad L. Al-Qadi, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Jean-Francois MassonProblem statement: The performance of bituminous sealants in the field is partly controlled by properties and strength of the sealant-aggregate interface. The thermodynamic work of adhesion represents energy required for reversible separation of the two materials at the interface. The study of fracture includes the energy required for both reversible and irreversible processes during separation. Excess of work of facture … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2011 · 7,884 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsResearch in the Improvement of Wettability of Micro-Structure in Patterned ElectrodepositionLi Guangyang, Wang Hong, Yuan Yang et al.Problem statement: The high aspect-ratio electrodeposition was widely used in the manufacture of non-silicon MEMS devices. The wetting of high aspect-ratio micro-structure in electrolyte was important to the uniformity of micro-structure. Approach: In this study, to enhance the wettability of micro-structures in electrolyte, the effect of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) and O2 plasma surface modification were discussed. Contact Angles (CA) … …Current Research in Nanotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 15 Jun 2011 · 7,275 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSafe Ulvan Silver Nanoparticles Composite Films for Active Food PackagingHadear Hanie AminProtecting food from the corruption caused by different microbes is a big problem, as we need safe methods for food packaging. In this study, Ulvan (U), edible sulfated polysaccharide extracted from Ulva lactuca, was mediated for the first time non-toxic biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) to produce new and safe bio-nanocomposite films called (U/Ag-NPs) films for active food packaging. Ulvan was … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 28 Jan 2021 · 7,740 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractParameter Calibration of Soil in the Poyang Lake Region Based on Discrete Element MethodBaoyu Zhu, Jun’an Liu, Xiongfei Chen et al.In order to obtain the soil parameters of Poyang Lake Region before direct seeding, the soil properties of Duchang County, Poyang County and Xinjian District recollected and the discrete element method model is established. The angle of repose of paddy soil is 53.00° tested by the lateral wall collapse method. Eleven parameters are used to establish EDEM simulation model with … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2020 · 6,377 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStochastic and Deterministic Mathematical Modeling and Simulation to Evaluate the Novel COVID-19 Pandemic Control MeasuresEva Gupta, Nand Jee Kanu, Amartya Munot et al.Background: In India, the novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) epidemic has grown to 17,00000 cases and around 38,000 deaths up to 30th July, 2020. The impacts of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic in India were studied using modified age-structured stochastic and deterministic mathematical models. Methods: A compartmental susceptible (S)-infected (symptomatic) (IS) infected (asymptomatic) (IN) recovered (R) i.e., … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 20 Nov 2020 · 8,456 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractWettability and Interfacial Tension Alteration of Rare-Earth Doped Yttrium Iron Garnet under Influence of Electromagnetic WavesLau Zhen Yin, Lee Kean Chuan, Beh Hoe Guan et al.Yttrium Iron Garnet (YIG) doped with rare-earth elements have shown to alter the magnetic properties of garnet nanoparticles (NPs), which is believed to have direct influence on the wettability, interfacial tension and viscosity alteration of garnet nanofluids. In this study, Y2.8R0.2Fe5O12 (R = Lanthanum (La), Neodymium (Nd) and Samarium (Sm)) NPs were synthesized by using the sol gel auto-combustion method … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 6 · 25 Jul 2019 · 7,684 accessesView PDFCite
