Reinforcing fibers can be modified by physical and chemical methods. Physical methods, such as stretching [22], calandering [23,24], thermotreatment [25], and the production of hybrid yarns [26,27] do not change the chemical composition of the fibers. Physical treatments change structural and surface properties of the fiber and thereby influence the mechanical bondings in the matrix. 

Available in a variety of surface treatments to suit the specific fluid applications. Replaced when bearings are changed for like new wear surfaces and clearances. 

Films on lithium play an important part in secondary lithium metal batteries. Electrolytes, electrolyte additives, and lithium surface treatments modify the lithium surface and change the morphology of the lithium and its current efficiency [93],... 

In view of the lower impa ct sensitivity of HMX, the trend for Octol is most unexpected and was later (Refs 11, 33 34) shown to be caused by surface effects. The apparently greater sensitivity of Octol can be mitigated or reversed by control of the particle size distribution and by changes in the surface treatment of the HMX used in Octol compns... 

Nukiyama was unable to establish a condition on the line CD, and in his original experimental curves he shows this line dotted. However, Farber and Scorah (F2) have reported that with special surface treatment and very careful experimentation, quasistable conditions can be set up on a curve such as CD in pool boiling. Their procedure was to first reach point D by way of ACFD and then to very carefully increase the heat flux. However, any disturbance or sudden change of heat flux when in the region CD caused the system to revert to the stable regions GC or DF. 

The simplest technique introduced by Young as early as 1805 [18] is the measurement of the contact angle as a measure of surface tension and surface energy [1,19, 20,21], In many cases this gives an indication of surface composition and can be used to observe changes in composition, structure and/or roughness at the surface during a particular surface treatment. A quantitative description or distinction between different parameters is hardly possible in most cases. 

CdS and CdS-ZnS core-shell nanoparticles were synthesized by inverse micelle method. Crystallinity of CdS nanoparticles was hexagonal structure under the same molar ratio of CM and S precursor. However it was changed easily to cubic structure under the condition of sonication or higher concentration of Cd than S precursor. The interfacial state betwran CdS core and shell material was unchanged by different surface treatment. 

The effect of the surface area is far from being a simple one. It was shown for titania that when the surface area changes from 110 to 12 m2/g, the average time required for a complete mineralization of organic substrates increased from 40 to 75 and 50 to 75 min for salicylic acid and phenol, respectively [135], These results clearly show that textural properties, particularly the surface area, strongly affect the photoreactivity, although a high-temperature treatment improved their crystallinity [18], Therefore, this phenomenon may be explained only in connection with the catalyst surface dehydroxylation.
