Assessment of solvent capsule-based healing for woven E-glass fibre-reinforced polymers

Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades, Inès Richard, Erica Manfredi

Vacuum Assisted Resin Infusion Molding (VARIM) with low vacuum pressure difference was used to manufacture woven glass fibre-reinforced epoxy resin plates, with a fibre volume fraction of approx. 50 vol% and containing ethyl phenylacetate (EPA)-filled caps ...

Electrically conductive self-healing polymer composite coatings

Véronique Michaud, Yves Leterrier, Brennan Margaret Bailey

The goal of the research described herein is the fabrication and assessment of electrically conductive partially-cured epoxy coatings which, upon cracking, autonomously restore barrier, mechanical and electrical properties via a microcapsule based healing ...

Performance in Transverse Direction of Fiber‐Reinforced Polymer Bridge Decks

Thomas Keller, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest, Sonia Yanes Armas

Pultruded glass fiber‐reinforced polymer (GFRP) bridge decks distribute punctual vehicular loads to the underlying superstructure and can also act as the upper chord of hybrid main girders. The deck’s structural performance in both cases is influenced by i ...

Adhesively bonded connections between composite sandwich floor panels for building rehabilitation

Thomas Keller, Mário Alexandre De Jesus Garrido

A connection system between adjacent sandwich panels for use in building floor rehabilitation, consisting of an adhesively (epoxy) bonded Z-joint, is proposed and studied. Experimental and numerical investigations were carried out to assess the joints' beh ...

Stress reduction mechanisms during photopolymerization of functionally graded polymer nanocomposite coatings

Véronique Michaud, Yves Leterrier, Tommaso Nardi, Florian Dujonc, Michael Hausmann

From the experimental analysis of the photocuring process in terms of reaction kinetics as well as modulus and shrinkage build-up, the residual stresses arising during the photopolymerization of functionally graded composite coatings based on an acrylate m ...

Direct growth of carbon nanotubes on carbon fibers: Effect of the CVD parameters on the degradation of mechanical properties of carbon fibers

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Jin Won Seo

Grafting carbon nanotubes (CNTs) directly on carbon fibers represents a promising approach in order to strengthen the weak interface between carbon fibers and polymer matrix in carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites (CFRCs). We have carried out direct ...

Novel concept of performance enhancing hybrid adhesive connections in glass structures

Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero

Adhesive connections are increasingly used as an alternative to bolted connections for façade elements and structural glass components. The disadvantages of mechanical connections, such as damage induced by drilling holes and local stress intensification a ...

Preliminary studies on the mechanical behaviour of thick embedded laminated connections

Pieter Christian Louter, Manuel Santarsiero

Laminated glass components are usually realized bonding glass plates by means of interlayer polymers that develop adhesion forces during lamination. Recently, these adhesion forces have been used also to realize adhesive connections for structural glass co ...
