Besides, the properties of each ingredients in composites, mixing method and technology for fresh mixture were described in detail. Then, the pseudo-strain-hardening （PSH） behavior was investigated in uniaxial tension test. As a result, the maximum ultimate tensile strain can reach 0.7 percent. On the other hand, the single edge notch （SEN） thin sheet specimens were employed to gain the normal tensile load via crack mouth opening displacement （CMOD） curves, which can show obvious PSH behavior. In addition, the curves can be divided into four zones whose fracture toughness calculation methods were discussed. The wedge splitting （WS） test method can be applied to discuss the fracture toughness. Moreover, fracture energy of SEN and WS specimens were both approximately evaluated.展开更多

Laser surface modification technology is used to make holes on the surface of the scaffolds. Inside and outside interconnection micro-porous structure is obtained. Bioeompatibility test of the scaffolds shows that PVA-GAG-COL scaffold can promote the adhesion and proliferation of the fibroblast. Also, fibroblast can grow normally on the scaffolds with pore diameter from 115 um to 255 um and pore distance from 500 um to 2000 um. PVA-GAG-COL scaffolds possess excellent cell biocompatibility. The porous structure is suitable for cell culture in tissue engineering.展开更多

Conventional polyvinyl alcohol fiber reinforced cementitious composites normally exhibit macroscopic strain-hardening and multiple cracking after the first cracks appear. However, the individual crack width at the saturated stage is normally 60 to 80 μm. In the current study, the effect of fine aggregate size on the cracking performance, especially the individual crack width in the strain-hardening stage was studied by bending tests. The results show that the individual crack widths can be reduced from 60-80 μm to 10-30 μm by modifying the particle size of the fine aggregates used in the composites.展开更多

PVA-glycosaminoglycan （GAG）-type I collagen （COL） composite membrane was fabricated by PVA with different molecular weight （Mw） and alcoholysis degree （AD） being blended with certain amounts of GAG and COL and dried at 38~C for 24 h. The water content of the composite membranes were from 61.9% to 95.1% and swelling ratio ranged from 123.6% to 621.7%. Scanning electron micro- scope （SEM） analysis proved that PVA-GAG-COL composite membrane has porous and homogenous structure. Biocompatibility test results showed that the composite membrane was nontoxic, which could promote adhesion and proliferation of fibroblasts on the com- posite membrane. In conclusion, PVA-GAG-COL composite membrane with high water content and swelling ratio, suitable mechanical strength and good biocompatibility, has potential in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.展开更多
