Exposure to aggressive environmental conditions and specific loads necessitate precise
material selection and manufacturing techniques. Techniques such as overlamination …

Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) combine characteristics of polymers and fibers to obtain a
material with high mechanical strength and stiffness together with low specific mass and …

In this paper, a polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK)/epoxy composite was prepared by using
PEEK microparticles as the reinforcement. The nonisothermal differential scanning …

Epoxy systems are widely used as matrix resins for fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) and,
therefore, often have to withstand harsh environmental conditions. Especially in marine and …

This paper shows how physical ageing and plasticization processes are coupled in an
amine-based epoxy. The study combines several ageing conditions including thermal …

This research aims to investigate the effects of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and
hexagonal boron carbide (hB 4 C) nanoparticles on the epoxy composites and single lap …

In this study hygrothermal aging in two particle-filled epoxy-based composites was
investigated. The filler loading of both composites was comparable but differed in the filler …

A hydrolytic kinetic model predicting chains scissions of a polyurethane elastomer (TPU)
containing an anti-hydrolysis agent (stabilization via carbodiimide) was developed. This …

Epoxy adhesives have been extensively used in the aerospace, marine, and automotive
industries to join different components. A major concern with the use of epoxy adhesives is …

The nanomechanical technique was applied to investigate quantitatively the evolution of
epoxy matrix and fiber/matrix interface in CFRPs under different hygrothermal conditions …
