In this paper, we investigate the effect of hygrothermal aging in different media on the
mechanical behaviour of mixed short fibre/woven composite laminates. We study composite …

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 …

Safe mining is the premise and guarantee of sustainable development of coal energy. Due
to the combination of excellent properties of polymers and traditional soft matters, polymer …

This study investigates moisture uptake and diffusion mechanisms in thermoset particle-
filled composites for anchor applications. Two epoxy-based with low inorganic filler content …

The curing reaction of thermosetting resins is associated with chemical shrinkage which is
overlapped with thermal expansion as a result of the exothermal enthalpy. Final material …

Thermoset polymers are widely used in the civil engineering field, especially as adhesives,
coatings, and matrices for composite materials. During the in-situ application of these …

In recent years, cheaply available cementitious materials (CMs) are increasingly finding
useful applications in construction engineering. This manuscript focused on the …

Due to the considerable increasing applications of nanoparticle base polymer
nanocomposites, herein, the thermo-mechanical properties of polystyrene (PS) based …

Structural adhesives characterized a turning point in the post-connection of structural
elements due to their excellent performances and ability to transfer stress without losing their …

Motivated by tunnel accidents in the recent past, several investigations into the sustained
load behavior of adhesive anchors have been initiated. Nevertheless, the reliable lifetime …
