XPS data was collected at both inside and outside of the fibre bundles using a micro-focused, monochromatic Al Kα X-ray source (1486.6 eV) with a lateral resolution of 30 mm (K-Alpha, ThermoFisher Scientific, UK).
The reduction in standard deviation in Table 1 shows that the plasma treatment with ultrasonic irradiation can improve the uniformity of the surface wetting of the glass fibre fabric.

Based on data obtained from DSC curves, the Co content has a marked impact on MT temperatures.
This increase is due to the atomic disturbance caused by the addition of Co, which leads to an increase in the energy required for the movement at the phase boundaries, which can lead to a reduction in the thermal elasticity of MT.

In the article [10], the corroded rebar specimens were obtained in the same way and the influences of the rust pits on mechanical properties of steel are studied and found the obvious stress concentration phenomenon comes into being near the rust pits, causing local steel yield in advance, and this is the mainly reason for the reduction of yield strength and elongation of corroded rebar.
For example, by using the fatigue calculation functions of ANSYS to analyze the existing experimental data from the perspective of fatigue life[26], it was found that the location, quantity and distribution of rust pits have effect on the fatigue life of corroded steel bar.

No drug crystal was found when higher polymer ratios were employed (Fig. 1e and 1f), even though the spray-dried DS crystals were large (data not shown).
Differently, the intensity reductions of DS main peaks and -OH stretching bands of HPMC F4M in the spectra of microparticles were found without new absorption peak or shifting in every drug:polymer ratios.

The flexural mechanical data shown in Table 2 for the different systems examined illustrate the significant enhancement in mechanical properties resulting from the progressive modification of the epoxy resin, up to obtain a hybrid system displaying an appreciable improvement in mechanical properties (around 60% for strength and more than doubled for the stiffness) provided by the efficient reinforcement of the inorganic phase (siloxane domains).
However, the superior performance of the hybrid system is confirmed also as regard to its behaviour when immersed in water: the reductions in flexural mechanical properties are, in fact, much smaller than those measured on the other systems.

We can note the estimated value is higher than actual data, because Bruggeman Model does not consider the effect of interfacial thermal resistance of the thermal conductivity
It is worth nothing that additive elements have a positive effect on reduction of TBC, but at the same time they can decrease the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of composites (as shown in Fig. 9), CTE as low as 6.2 × 10-6 K-1, and the addition of Ti and B to the aluminum matrix results in a increase in the bending strength of approximately 50% from 152MPa to 312 MPa, leading to an increase of the interface bonding when comparing diamond/Al and diamond/Al(Ti, B).

For this purpose, a measuring system (Fig. 8) was developed and built, including the following: · A computer for recording measurements; · A data acquisition system, i.e.
Average values for all the recorded tests are as follows: a) For suspension bottoming (hydraulic cylinder length reduction), the pressure in the system increased by Dp = 12 bar and the cylinder shortened by DLS = 24 mm; and, b) For suspension rebounding (hydraulic cylinder length extension), the pressure in the system decreased by Dp = 10 bar and the cylinder elongated by DLS = 20 mm.

Cross-sections are those which can form a plastic hinge with the rotation capacity required from plastic analysis without reduction of the resistance.
This geometric data are sufficient to generate geometry of reinforcement (Fig. 11).

This data is detailed in Santos work [9].
The result of the low temperature processing is the reduction in the size of the bainitic ferrite sheaves, which leads to an increase in the strength and toughness [16-18].

Powder-like semiconducting photocatalysts, ever since Fujishima and Honda[1], have been in the spotlight in the last 50 years finding applications in CO2 reduction[2], pollutants removal[3], and in H2 production from water splitting or photo-reformation of H2O/alcohol (i.e., methanol and ethanol) mixtures[4].
The present data demonstrate that DN-FSP allows one-step engineering of finely dispersed nano photocatalysts with very low noble metal loadings i.e., 0.5% are optimal for the photocatalytic performance.
