Preparation, stabilization and characterization of TiO2 on thin polyethylene films (LDPE): Photocatalytic applications

Philippe Buffat, Albert Renken, Juan Kiwi, Lioubov Kiwi, Andrzej Kulik, Danièle Laub, Kyumin Lee

An innovative way to fix preformed nanocrystalline TiO2 on low-density polyethylene film (LDPE-TiO2) is presented. The LDPE-TiO2 film was able to mediate the complete photodiscoloration of Orange II using about seven times less catalyst than a TiO2 suspens ...

Tailoring of the practical adhesion between polyethylene and galvanised steel

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Véronique Michaud, Gabrielle Pax

The practical adhesion of maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (MAH-PE) to galvanised steel was studied using 3-point flexure tests, before and after hydrothermal ageing. Before bonding, the electro-galvanised steel was treated with γ -aminopropyltriethox ...

Calculation of adhesive and cohesive fracture toughness of a thin brittle coating on a polymer substrate

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Yves Leterrier

Determination of fracture parameters for brittle coatings with a sub-micron thickness is not a straightforward task. Since direct evaluation through testing with for instance a double cantilever beam or compact tension tests is hardly applicable due to the ...

Aminosilanes and hyperbranched polymers for adhesion tailoring between metallic oxides and polyethylene

Gabrielle Pax

Bonding between polyolefins and steel is widely found in applications as diverse as steel wire/cord reinforced polymers, and automotive components where steel and thermoplastics are commonly used. As polyolefins are highly unreactive, because of their low ...

Bone-cement interface of the glenoid component: stress analysis for varying cement thickness

Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Philippe Büchler

BACKGROUND: Although shoulder arthroplasty is an accepted treatment for osteoarthritis, loosening of the glenoid component, which mainly occurs at the bone-cement interface, remains a major concern. Presently, the mechanical effect of the cement mantel thi ...

Polymer microchips bonded by O2-plasma activation

Hubert Girault, Joël Stéphane Rossier, Nicolas Xanthopoulos

This paper presents a fabrication of polymer microchips with homogeneous material technique due to surface treatment by plasma before sealing. UV laser photoablation was used for fast prototyping of microstructures, and oxygen plasma was used as a surface ...
