The purpose of this study is to evaluate the adhesion in tension of polymer-modified mortars according to curing conditions. From the test results, the adhesion in tension is seriously affected by type of curing conditions compared with type of polymer dispersions or polymer-cement ratios. The maximum adhesion in tension of EVA-modified mortar with polymer-cement ratio of 20% cured by standard condition is about 1.81 times, the cement mortar cured in water. It is apparent that the adhesion in tension of polymer-modified mortars according to raising of polymer-cement ratio is also much more improved irrespective of type of polymer dispersions and curing conditions.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the adhesion in flexure of SBR-modified mortar adding Fly Ash(FA). From the test results, the adhesion in flexure is seriously affected by polymer-binder ratios and adding content of FA. The maximum adhesion in flexure of SBR- modified mortar is about 1.46 times, the plain cement mortar. It is apparent that the adhesion in flexure of SBR-modified mortars by polymer-binder ratios is much more improved than that by adding contents of AF.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Adhesion in tension of cement mortar according to adding admixtures such as polymer dispersions, blast-furnace slag and fly ash. From the test results, the adhesion in tension is seriously affected by type of polymer compared with polymer-binder ratios and types of admixture. The maximum adhesion in tension of EVA- modified mortar is about 1.46 times, the cement mortar. It is apparent that the adhesion in tension of polymer-modified mortars according to adding two admixtures is much more improved irrespective of polymer-binder ratio.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of curing conditions on adhesion in tension of polymer-modified mortar to cement mortar substrate in comparision with ordinary cement mortar. The polymer-modifies mortars using two polymer dispersions and a redispersible polymer power are prepared with various polymer-cement ratios, and tested for the adhesion in tension of the specimens subjected to five curing conditions. From the test results, the adhesion in tension of polymer-modified mortars tends to increase with increasing polymer-cement ratio irrespective of the polymer types and curing conditions. It is apparent that adhesion in tension of polymer-modified mortars is considerably influenced by curing conditions.

In this work, styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) and styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) were used to modify asphalt, resulting in SBR- and SBS-modified asphalt, respectively. The two modified asphalts were emulsified with a nonionic emulsifier (Span 60) and cationic emulsifiers (ID, DDA) and their phase stabilization was investigated via particle size, Zeta potential, and flow behavior analysis. With increasing amount of the mixed emulsifier, the particle size decreased, leading to an increase in viscosity. The shear thinning behaviors and Zeta potential values ranging from 35-65 mV were determined and remained considerably stable. In addition, the adhesion strength and compression strength of the SBR-and SBS-modified asphalt emulsion were evaluated via surface free energy examination. The remarkable adhesion and compression strengths were estimated when 5 phr ID and 6 phr DDA were added to the emulsified asphalt modified with SBR and SBS. Therefore ID and DDA, the two cationic surfactants, played significant roles in improving the dispersion and interfacial adhesion strength, resulting in the improved adhesion and compression strength of the emulsified asphalts modified with SBR and SBS.

The use of the crumb rubber as an asphalt binder modifier may contribute to road maintenance and repair. The adhesion properties of the crumb rubber modified asphalt (CRMA) sealant have attracted interest due to brittle and adhesion failure of asphalt binders at low temperatures. In this study, the influence of a flexibilizer as a modifier for CRMA at low temperatures was investigated. Their properties were measured using the penetration, the softening point, the tensile and tensile adhesion tests at low temperature. The tensile adhesion strength and the strain of CRMAs were increased with increasing ductile deformation of the CR and the asphalt binder in the flexiblizer modified CRMAs. It was found that the flexibilizer concentration was an important factor for tensile and adhesion properties of CRMAs at low temperatures.

In wood-based composite panels, low-molar ratio (LMR) urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins usually result in reduced formaldehyde emission (FE) at the expense of poor adhesion. However, the FE and adhesion of medium-density fiberboard (MDF) bonded with LMR UF resins were both improved in this study. The modified LMR UF resins with transition metal ion-modified bentonite (TMI-BNT) nanoclay simultaneously improved the FE and adhesion of MDF panels. The modified LMR UF resins with 5% TMI-BNT resulted in a 37.1% FE reduction and 102.6% increase in the internal bonding (IB) strength of MDF panels. Furthermore, thickness swelling and water absorption also significantly decreased to 13.0% and 24.9%, respectively. These results imply that TMI-BNT modification of LMR UF resins could enhance the formation of a three-dimensional network rather than crystalline domains, resulting in improved cohesion.

The adhesion of electroless plated Ni layer on Al/Si substrates has been investigated. The zincating treatment was conducted with a conventional method and a modified method. In a modified method, ultrasonic agitation was applied during zincating. Adhesion strength was evaluated by a pull-off test. The ultrasonic agitation during zincating increased the nucleation density of Zn particles and refined Zn particle size. the adhesion strength of electroless Ni layer deposited on the modified zincated surface was higher than that on the conventionally zincated surface. the improvement of adhesion was attributed to the fine and dense Zn particles.

In this study, the influence of reaction temperatures, mixing time and flexible modifier for crumb rubber modified asphalt(CRMA) as processing conditions were investigated. The temperature susceptibility and adhesion properties of neat and modified asphalts at low temperature measured using the penetration and tensile adhesion test. It was found that processing temperatures and flexible modifier were important factors for tensile adhesion strength and toughness energy at low temperature. The CRMA in the higher processing temperature and flexible modifier exhibited improved tensile adhesion properties which indicated the flexible structure of neat and modified asphalt binder. In general, the improvements of the physical properties in the CRMAs were due to the improvements of miscibility between CR and asphalt binder. It was found that the adhesion properties of the flexible agent modified CRMA were higher than CRMA were related to the flexible agent tend to penetrate into CR particles and asphalt binder.

Adhesion in geotechnical engineering is the interaction between cohesive soil and a solid surface which can cause clogging in mechanized tunnelling through clayey formations. Normal piston pull out and modified direct shear tests were performed on clayey soil samples to determine which type of adhesion stress, normal or tangential, could be most effectively measured. Measured values for normal adhesion ranged from 0.9 to 18 kPa. The range of tangential adhesion was 2.4 to 10 kPa. The results indicate normal adhesion results were more accurate than those for the modified direct shear test that measure tangential adhesion. Direct shear test on identical samples did not show any correlation between measured cohesion and normal adhesion values. Normal adhesion values have shown significantly meaningful variation with consistency index and so are compatible with the base of field clogging assessment criteria. But tangential adhesion and cohesion were not compatible with these assessment criteria.
