Development of a model to explain the effect of variable membrane compliance on single molecule adhesive bond force
The intermolecular bond force existing between adhesive membrane receptors and extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules is believed to regulate key cell functions, such as growth, apoptosis, motility, and mechanotransduction. From a clinical perspective, understanding the mechanics of cell-matrix bonds …

Bond Characteristics of Micro-Composite Multi-Structural Formable Steel Used in Reinforced Concrete Structures
The bond performance of a unique type of reinforcing steel rebars, claimed to have high corrosion resistance as well as high tensile strength, with concrete was studied. The objective was to investigate the bond behavior of straight rebars made out of this steel, named MMFX, embedded in concrete …
