The surface free energies, thermal stabilities, electrical properties, and fracture behaviors of
particulate composites were investigated using hollow glass microspheres lowly filled …

Epoxy molding compounds (EMCs) are widely used as encapsulation materials for
protecting the semiconductor chips of plastic encapsulated microcircuits (PEMs) against …

Structures externally rehabilitated with fiber reinforced plastics (FRP) are often exposed to
aggressive environmental conditions that dictate deterioration mechanisms and shorten …

The paper presents water uptake and tensile properties of epoxy filled with inorganic fillers
having different reactivity to water, namely Portland cement, fly ash, and calcium carbonate …

This study examined the solubility, sorption, and dimensional change of eight luting cements
in two different solutions: 50% ethanol: water and distilled water. Ten disk specimens were …

The scope of the present work is to investigate if the introduction of a small weight fraction of
multi wall carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in a polymer adhesive film can:(a) act as an effective …

This study investigated the water sorption and solubility of two light-cured resin composites
(Filtek P60 and Solitaire 2), one compomer (Compoglass F), one ormocer (Admira) and the …

This paper presents the tensile strength of glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) reinforcing
bars embedded in concrete that is exposed to tap water, saline solutions and ambient …

Objectives The aim of the study was to evaluate the mechanical stability of bisphenol A-
glycidyl methacrylate (Bis-GMA) and Ormocer-based resin composites before and after …

Fiber-reinforced composites are commonly exposed to environments associated with
moisture and solution, resulting in uptake, which causes changes in the bulk resin, the fiber …
