Experimental Study on Shear Characteristics of Coal Samples in Different Water-Bearing States by Yang Wu, Lujun Wang, Baoyang Wu, Ze Xia

“…Additionally, scanning electron microscope analysis revealed significant changes in the microstructure of coal samples under different moisture states: as the moisture content and dry-saturation cycles increase, the microstructure of the coal samples gradually transforms from orderly and compact to disordered and murky, elucidating the mechanism by which moisture weakens the mechanical properties of the coal samples. …”

“Pillaring Effects” in Cross-Linked Cellulose Biopolymers: A Study of Structure and Properties by Inimfon A. Udoetok, Lee D. Wilson, John V. Headley

“…The attenuation of SA for CLE-0.5 may relate to surface grafting onto cellulose beyond the stoichiometric cellulose and EP ratio since ca. 30% of the hydroxyl groups of cellulose are accessible for cross-linking reaction due to its tertiary fibril nature. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results reveal the variable surface roughness and fibre domains of cellulose due to cross-linking. …”
