Impact injuries and fire risks generally coexist simultaneously in extreme environments. In
this context, it is of great necessity to design impact resistant materials with both flame …

Abstract The use of Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) systems to reinforce
existing masonry and concrete structures is nowadays a well-established practice. The …

Silica and alumina particles were loaded in the rigid polyurethane foam composite as hybrid
fillers. After the successful addition of silica and alumina as fillers, various properties of the …

Blending technique is applied to prepare nitrile rubber/short carbon fiber (NBR/SCF)
composite. The friction and wear properties of NBR and NBR/SCF are investigated by wear …

Low cost and environment friendly fly ash particles and silica particles were used as
additives in the rigid polyurethane foam composite. The usage of fly ash will decrease the …

With the increase in tanker oil transportation and expansion of the oil transmission lines from
the seas, numerous irreparable environmental damages would be caused by accidents and …

Polyurethanes (PU) are versatile polymers which can be molded to any shape. Reinforcing
suitable micro and nano particles in the PU foam enhances its comfort, warmth and …

Polyurethane elastomers (PUE), with superior mechanical properties and excellent
corrosion resistance, are applied widely to the protective capability of structures under low …

The aim of this research is to investigate, through the Digital Image Correlation (DIC)
technique, the mechanical performance of a new type of earth masonry, built with extruded …
