Bond Strength and Etching Pattern of Adhesive Systems to Enamel: Effects of Conditioning Time and Enamel Preparation
(BLACKWELL PUBLISHING, 2008)
Statement of the problem: The performance of self-etch systems on enamel is controversial and seems to be dependent on the application technique and the enamel preparation. Purpose of the Study: To examine the effects of ...
A Robust, Fully Adaptive Hybrid Level-Set/Front-Tracking Method for Two-Phase Flows with an Accurate Surface Tension Computation
(GLOBAL SCIENCE PRESS, 2010)
We present a variable time step, fully adaptive in space, hybrid method for the accurate simulation of incompressible two-phase flows in the presence of surface tension in two dimensions. The method is based on the hybrid ...
Identification of lift-off mechanism failure for salt drill-in drilling fluid containing polymer filter cake through adsorption/desorption studies
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2010)
Drilling fluid`s contact with the productive zone of horizontal or complex wells can reduce well productivity by fluid invasion in the borehole wall. Salted drilling drill-in fluid containing polymers has often been applied ...
Interface tailoring for adhesion enhancement of diamond-like carbon thin films
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE SALAUSANNE, 2012-05)
We have explored the suitability and characteristics of interface tailoring as a tool for enhancing the adhesion of hydrogen-free diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin films to silicon substrates. DLC films were deposited on ...
