Introduction Calcium phosphates, specifically HAp (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2), are of interest in bone-interfacing implant applications because of their demonstrated osteoconductive properties[1].
Hydroxyapatite is considered to be a bioactive material, and is used in the fabrication of medical and dental implants, usually in the form of a coating on a metallic substrate to compensate for its poor intrinsic mechanical properties.
The properties of the coated samples were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
The surface morphology is considered to be one of the most important factors in the behavior of cells.

In particular, the frictional behavior between the sheet metals affects the geometrical formation of the clinched joint significantly.
Since the test setup is one of the instrumented tests, an independent consideration of the influencing factors is possible.
Furthermore, the occurring friction is influenced by various factors that are relevant in forming processes, for example contact pressure, relative speed, temperature and surface change due to abrasion or adhesion wear.
A separation of the specimens using machine cutting processes, wire erosion or water jet cutting is not reasonable, as this processes use cooling lubricants or other media, which may change the surface condition or friction properties.
Numerical simulation was used to determine the properties of such a mounting.

The performance of these masonries relies on their monolithic behaviour rather than on the mechanical properties of their individual elements.
This vulnerability under certain types of loads is due to several factors, such as: absence of cohesion between the external elements i.e. poor transversal bonds between the leaves of the wall and weakness of the inner core.
Moreover, flow time is also reduced with the increase of water/binder ratio; nevertheless this can lead to a worsening of hardened grout by reducing its mechanical properties.
Correlation between flow tests and rheological properties.
Therefore, further experimental research is needed to know how the differences in the properties between the present NHL and other NHLs might affect the modelling results.

Introduction Physical mechanical and thermal stability of a material is the primary factor responsible for quality of polymer vehicle components.
In order to evaluate the influence of the cross-linking degree (synthesis reaction) on the properties of a material, it has been investigated how heat treatment of a vehicle component part made of rigid PUF affects thermal physical and mechanical characteristics of the material.

The performance of electrodes in the microplastic removal process using the electrocoagulation method is influenced by several factors, including electrolysis time, voltage intensity, electrolyte concentration and others.
The presence of electrons in the solution can affect the rate of electrochemical reactions.
The electrochemical equilibrium that occurs is the balance between the microplastic removal rate and factors that hinder microplastic removal efficiency, such as excessive sediment formation on the electrode, high foam production, and the possibility of microplastic deflocculation.
