Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDielectric Properties of Collagen on Plasma Modified Polyvinylidene FluorideR. M. Dahan, S. I. Ismail, Famiza Latif et al.Problem statement: The attachment of biopolymers such as collagen on inert polymeric template created great challenge due to hydrophobic nature of polymeric material. The modification of PVDF for improved adhesion and introduction of specific functionalities have been widely recognized in various industrial applications. Typical methods for modifying polymer surface such as chemical etching and UV irradiation are not favorable as … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 5 Mar 2012 · 7,986 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThermal Diffusivity of Carbon Pellets (CPs) Treated with KOHM. Haydari, M. M. Moksin, A. E. Abdelrahman et al.In this work thermal diffusivity of carbon pellets (CPs) treated with different percentage level of KOH has been studied. Thermal diffusivity measurements were carried out at room temperature by using photoflash technique. The technique consists of a camera flash having approximately 5 ms pulse duration for heating and a thin film of polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) attached to the back of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,371 accessesView PDFCite
