Dental and mouth problems in Indonesia during 2007 to 2013 reportedly increased from 23.2% to 25.9% with the projection 65.275 million people with cases of periodontitis reaching 42.8%. One of clinical treatment of periodontitis is by using Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) method. This research was conducted to synthesize GTR membrane from Polycaprolactone (PCL) which is composed with AgNPs of Aloe vera biosynthesis product using electrospinning instrument. GTR membranes were synthesized by forming ratio of acetone and AgNPs which was obtained by mixing 30% Aloe vera extract with AgNO3 solution where AgNPs had been characterized previously using XRD and PSA. In this study the comparison of solvents done as 100/0 (control), 90/10, 80/20, and 70/30 (v/v). Obtained GTR membranes are characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope and tensile strength characterization. From the analysis results known the best composition of PCL-AgNPs biocomposite as GTR membrane was found on the variable with ratio 70/30 (v/v) with fiber size 111,6 ± 22 nm, UTS value equal to 4,37 MPa with elongation equal to 204%. Based on the results of characterization, it showed that biocomposites PCL-AgNPs Aloe vera biosynthesis products have good potential as a guided tissue regeneration membrane.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are widely explained in fundamental blocks of nanotechnology. These CNTs exhibit much greater tensile strength than steel, even almost similar to copper, but they have higher ability to carry much higher currents, they seem to be a magical material with all these mentioned properties. In this paper, an attempt has been made to incorporate this wonder material, CNT, (with varying percentages) in polymeric matrix (Poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA)) to create a new conductive polymer composite. Various mechanical tests were carried out to evaluate its mechanical properties. The dielectric properties such as dielectric loss and dielectric constant were evaluated with the reference of temperature and frequency. The surface structures were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).

The effect of processing on the mechanical properties of Sigma 1140+ SiC fibres was studied through tensile tests carried out on pristine Sigma 1140+ SiC fibres and on fibres extracted from a Ti-6A1-4V-matrix composite. The elastic modulus and the tensile strength were computed after measuring carefully the fibre diameter. The characteristic fibre strength was reduced by 20% and the Weibull modulus by half during composite processing. The analysis of the fracture surfaces in the scanning electron microscope showed that the strength-limiting defects were located around the tungsten core in pristine fibres and predominantly at the surface in fibres extracted from the composite panels. These latter defects were nucleated by the mechanical stresses generated on the fibres during the panel consolidation.

This paper summarizes the investigations of hydroentangled islands-in-the-sea (PA6/COPET) fiber webs. An increase in water jet pressure improved the tensile strength and fiber splitting while elongation at break decreased. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) micrographs and ANOVA (MS Excel ™) were used for characterizing fiber splitting and data analyses respectively. It can be concluded that with a new innovation in spinnerette design and modification of co-polyester structure, PA6/COPET, fibers can be split in the hydroentanglement process without dissolution of the sea component.

To investigate the effects of Mo and Bi on mechanical properties of a Zr-Fe-Cr alloy at room temperature, seven Zr-Fe-Cr-Mo-Bi alloys with different compositions were designed. They were subjected to a series of rolling processes and heat treatments, and then sampled to measure mechanical properties by hardness and tensile test and to characterize microstructures by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron channel contrast (ECC) technique. Results indicated that among them two types of Zr-Fe-Cr-Mo-Bi alloys achieve the designed goals on mechanical properties and have the following advantages: (i) the hardness of the alloys, up to 334HV after annealing, is 40% higher than traditional Zr-4. (ii) The yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the alloys are 526 MP a and 889 MP a after hot rolling and annealing, markedly higher than the traditional Zr alloy. (iii) Good plasticity of the new Zr-Fe-Cr-Mo-Bi alloy is obtained with about 40% elongation, which is greatly higher than the Zr-Fe-Cr-Mo alloy thanks to the addition of Bi offsetting the disadvantage of addition Mo. Furthermore, according to observations of the microstructure observation, the reasons of the effect of the Mo and Bi elements on the mechanical performance of Zr-Fe-Cr alloy were studied and discussed.

This work studies the effect of PE-g-MA compatibilizer on mechanical thermal and morphological properties of high density polyethylene (HDPE)/titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanocomposites. The HDPE/TiO2 nanocomposites with and without PE-g-MA compatibilizer were prepared by melt mixing technique in a twin screw extruder. The results found that Young's Modulus of HDPE/TiO2 nanocomposites increased with increasing TiO2 contents. The addition of PE-g-MA compatibilizer had no significant effect on the tensile strength and stress at break of HDPE/TiO2 nanocomposites. The decomposition temperatures of HDPE/TiO2 nanocomposites before and after adding PE-g-MA compatibilizer increased with increasing TiO2 contents. The dispersion of TiO2 nanoparticles in HDPE matrix was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The dispersion of nanoparticles in HDPE matrix with PE-g-MA compatibilizer was relatively good, only a few aggregates exited.

The alloy of Nylon6/Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) with styrene-maleic anhydride (SMA) was prepared by melt blending as the compatilizer. Mechanical characteristics, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and fracture appearances were determined. It was found that the impact and tensile strength firstly increased and then decreased along with the increase of the SMA content. The properties reached maximum values when the content of SMA was 2%. The results of DMA and scanning electron microscope (SEM) indicated that the addition of SMA can effectively enhance the compatibility of Nylon6 and ABS.

Based on the novel USW method, the welds of Polylactide (PLA) - Polyformaldehyde (POM) and PLA - polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) have been carried out. The interdiffusion processes of polymer chains have also been investigated according to the reptation theory and the hauling theory. The welding strengths are carried out by the universal tester and the rupture interfaces are observed using the scanning electron microscope. The best welding strength is 52MPa (90% compared with PLA of the PLA-POM system), which can reach the tensile strength of IPS. The molecules of POM are much easier to inter-diffuse than those of PLA and PMMA.

This study shows a optimization usage of SA and PAE on enhancing both wet and dry strength of paper. The influence of the dosage of PAE and the viscosity of SA on the binary system for strengthening of paper have been studied and compared with paper which use PAE alone as a wet strength additive. A optimization ratio of PAE/SA was obtained, and with this ratio unchanged the amount of PAE/SA and initial of pH of the pulp has been tested. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used as a assistant method to observe those influence. The results showes that PAE/SA binary strengthening system for paper has a better property than that of PAE alone as a wet strength additive. The optimal viscosity of SA is about 350 mPa•S and the optimal ratio of PAE and SA is 3:2 and the addition of PAE and SA are 0.75% and 0.5% respectively. SEM analyses confirm that the film-forming property of PAE is accelerated by SA and it is also noticeable that the PAE/SA film can stick to the suface of fibres uniformly in the aqueous pulp slurry environment. The reaserch on the effects of the slurries at different pH to the wet and dry tensile strength prove that PAE/SA strength system is more suitable for neutral and alkaline papermaking conditions.

Determination of the mechanical properties of rock containing pre-existing cracks under tension condition is of great significance to understand the failure process of rock in engineering. This paper presents the experimental results of sandstone containing pre-existing cracks under Brazilian compression. The characteristics of the microcracks were analyzed by a scanning electron microscope. The results show that the rock containing pre-existing cracks has an obvious anisotropic characteristic. When the crack inclination is 45°, the rock has the minimum tensile strength and the weakest axial deformation resistance.
