Despite polypropylene is one of the most used commodity plastics, its adhesion properties are remarkably restricted by its non-polar nature which leads to low wetting properties and, consequently, poor adhesion behavior. ...
[EN] Three-dimensional printing technology is being increasingly applied in a multitude of sectors. However, this technology is not generally applied in the same way as in other sectors, possibly due to the difficulty of ...

[EN] Polyolefins are characterized by having a low surface energy due to their non-polar nature, in the case of some ionomers, the base component is a polyolefin, thus relative poor adhesion properties are expected. As is ...
[EN] In this paper, we present the use of a magnetic system for restoring a real piece of art: the Virgen de los Desamparados sculpture (1954) by the Valencian sculptor Silvestre d'Edeta (Valencia, Spain). This sculpture ...
