The structure of grafted fibers are studied by scanning electronic microscope ( SEM ), infra-red spectrophotometer ( IR ), and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC). At the same time, the moisture regain, dyeability, strength, and elongation at break of the samples are measured and their relations with structural changes are discussed. Compared with ungrafted fiber, shape of the fiber cross-section, IR characteristic absorption peaks, and melting behavior of the grafted fibers have been changed, causing the fiber dyeability and moisture regain to be increased, and mechanical properties to be changed.展开更多

In order to get high-powered glass fiber reinforced plastics geogrid and its mechanical characteristics, the properties and physical mechanical index of geogrid have been got through the study of its raw material, production process and important quality index. The analysis and study have been made to the geogrid's mechanical properties with loading speed, three-axial compression, temperature tensile test and FLAC3D numerical simulation, thus obtain the mechanical parameters of its displacement time curve, breaking strength and elongation at break. Some conclusions can be drawn as follows: (a) Using glass fiber materials, knurling and coated projection process, the f^acture strength and corrosion resistance of geogrid are greatly improved and the interlocking bite capability of soil is enhanced. (b) The fracture strength of geogrid is related to temperature and loading rate. When the surrounding rock pressure is fixed, the strength and anti-deformation ability of reinforced soil are significantly enhanced with increasing reinforced layers. (c) The pullout test shows the positive correlation between geogrid displacement and action time. (d) As a new reinforced material, the glass fiber reinforced plastics geogrid is not mature enough in theoretical research and practical experience, so it has become an urgent problem both in theoretical study and practical innovation.展开更多

PET sheets were coated with 58S bioactive glass and uncoated PET sheets were used as a control. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer were adopted to analyze the surface characteristics of the fibers. MT3T3-E 1 cells were cultured with the PET fibers and the MTT and ALP were tested at 1, 3, 5 days. Twenty-four skeletally mature male New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups, the 58S-PET group and the PET group. Both groups underwent a surgical procedure to establish a tibia-articular tendon-bone healing model. Mechanical examinations and histological assays were taken to verify the coating effects in vivo. Results of both MTT and ALP tests show significant differences (P 〈 0.01) between the 58S-PET group and the PET group. At 6 weeks and 12 weeks, the max load-to-failure was significantly higher in the 58S-PET group. In the histological assays, distinct new bone formation was observed only in the 58S-PET group and stronger osseoin- tegration was seen in the 58S-PET group than that in the control group. The 58S-coating on PET could enhance the proliferation and activity of the osteoblasts and therefore promote the new bone formation and tendon-bone healing.展开更多
