Knowing the force required to progressively separate two bonded, flexible adherends gives engineers an understanding of the direct measure of the adhesive bond strength in a bonded joint. Therefore, ...

The performance of CVD coatings can be affected by the base material that they are placed upon. The team at SilcoTek recently tested the compatibility of a range of materials and metals commonly used ...

In my previous column (see “Editor's Picks,” at right), I discussed transverse flexural testing of a unidirectional composite as one method of evaluating the strength of the fiber/matrix interfacial ...

Two studies comparing bond strengths of dental adhesives on enamel and dentin, respectively, found that Clearfil SE Protect Bond (Kuraray America) performed best in enamel strength testing, while the ...

It can be important to balance dielectric strength and thermal performance when deciding on coatings for insulation and heat ...
