Exfoliating montmorillonite (Mt) to nanolayers is a crucial step during producing clay/polymer
nanocomposites (CPN). Only well-exfoliated and well-dispersed Mt. nanolayers in the …

Fibre-reinforced polymeric composites (FRPC), having better corrosion resistance, higher
strength-to-weight, and modulus-to-weight ratios, are widely utilised in automotive, wind …

The main focus of this work is to built an experimental database which may be helpful to the
research and development on the design and qualification of composite repairs for aircraft …

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the long-term mechanical
performance, focusing on bending and compression of GFRP pultruded structural sections …

Novolac epoxy resins, with the high glass transition temperature (T g) and excellent
mechanical strength, are widely applied in the molding and sealing compounds for the …

Natural fibers show great potential in polymer composites reinforcement, it remains
challenging to tackle the mechanical stability of the composites under moist/water condition …

Hydrothermal ageing of plant fiber reinforced composites could cause degradation of
mechanical properties due to the synergic effect of moisture and temperature. This paper …

The excellent performance of the CFRP-concrete bonding interface is a key to ensure the
reliability and effectiveness of the rehabilitation in concrete structures with external fiber …

In this paper, hydrothermal aging behavior of short-cut glass fiber reinforced polyphenylene
sulfide composites (PPS/GF) were studied. The water adsorption behavior can be well …

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 …
