We describe a simple and scalable method for incorporating thermoplastic agents into fiber
reinforced polymers (FRPs). Poly (ethylene-co-methacrylic acid)(EMAA) nanoparticles were …

The plastic age seems to have coincided with the new space age. While we seek to redefine
the role of plastic in global society, in this chapter we review how human's century-old affair …

Interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and compressive strength are two of the most critical
properties of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP). In this report, three types of epoxy …

Abstract PEMA [poly (ethylene-co-methacrylic acid)] ionomer is a cost-effective,
commercially important class of random copolymer of ethylene and methacrylic acid (3–15 …

In this work, a constitutive model of an intrinsically self-healing composite matrix material is
presented. The developed model comprises a micro-damage initiation and evolution model …

Studies that aim to produce flexible films of composite materials based on ionomers-PZT,
and volume fractions lower than 10% PZT, in order to monitor damage in aeronautical …

Sažetak This research is focused on development and validation of efficient numerical
methodology for modelling of intrinsically self-healing fibre reinforced composite structures …
