Large volume, high-performance applications of fibers in civil engineering
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2002-01-18)
This article presents an overview of fiber applications in cementitious composites. The socio-economic considerations surrounding materials development in civil engineering in general, and fiber reinforced cementitious ...
Structural and mechanical behavior of layered zirconium phosphonate as a distributed phase in polycaprolactone
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2009-10-15)
Mixed-surface octyl/methoxyundecyl Α-zirconium phosphonates (ZrPs) were investigated as distributed nanoscale fillers, in concentrations up to 50% w/w, for the purpose of increasing the elastic modulus and yield strength ...
The effect of fiber orientation on the toughening of short fiber-reinforced polymers
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2003-12-05)
The effect of fiber orientation on the toughening of polymers by short glass fibers generally below their critical length was investigated using specimens with either well-aligned or randomly oriented fibers. The fibers ...
Mechanical properties of polyurethane/montmorillonite nanocomposite prepared by melt mixing
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-10-05)
Nanocomposites from polyurethane (PU) and montmorillonite (MMT) were prepared under melt-mixing condition, by a twin screw extruder along with a compatibilizer to enhance dispersion of MMT. MMT used in this study was ...
Fracture behavior of glass bead filled epoxies: Cleaning process of glass beads
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-02-22)
Inorganic particles are commonly cleaned with solvents such as alcohols before being incorporated into thermoset polymers as fillers or tougheners, but the role of the cleaning process has never been examined. In this ...
