The effects of acetone, ethanol, HEMA, and air on the stiffness of human decalcified dentin matrix
TL;DR: The results indicate that the stiffness of decalcified human dentin matrix is very low (ca. 7 MPa), if the specimens are wet with water, but as they are dehydrated, the stiffness increases 20- to 38-fold at low strains or three- to six- fold at high strains.

Epoxy-Graphene UV-cured nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this article, the preparation of functionalized graphene sheets (FGS)/epoxy coatings cured by cationic photopolymerization with enhanced mechanical properties is presented, and the reinforcement of the cured coatings by the graphene is studied by measuring the dynamic-mechanical properties and the surface hardness.

The effects of SEBS-g-maleic anhydride reaction on the morphology and properties of polypropylene/PA6/SEBS ternary blends
TL;DR: In this article, a mixture of an unreactive poly[styrene- b -(ethylene- co-butylene)- b -styrene] (SEBS) triblock copolymer and a reactive maleic anhydride-grafted SEBS- g -MA was produced via melt blending in a co-rotating twin-screw extruder.

Gradient of glass transition temperature in filled elastomers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that the temperature dependence of the modulus of filled elastomers can be explained by a long-ranged gradient of the polymer matrix glass transition temperature in the vicinity of the particles.
