A Flow Induced Autoimmune Response and Accelerated Senescence of Red Blood Cells in Cardiovascular Devices
(2019-12-19)
Red blood cells (RBCs) passing through heart pumps, prosthetic heart valves and other cardiovascular devices undergo early senescence attributed to non-physiologic forces. We hypothesized that mechanical trauma accelerates ...
Evaluation of Surface Free Energy Characteristics of Aggregates and Binders in Hot Mix Asphalt (FHWA-OK 02(03) 2152)
(2006-5)
The objectives of this project is to demonstrate whether the Surface Free Energy (SFE) concept reported by Cheng et al. (2002) can be utilized to characterize the moisture-induced damage potential of selected asphalt binders ...
Performance of Glass Woven Fabric Composites with Admicellar-Coated Thin Elastomeric Interphase
(2016-05)
Adequate stress transfer between the inorganic reinforcement and surrounding polymeric matrix is essential for achieving enhanced structural integrity and extended lifetime performance of fiber-reinforced composites. The ...
