Archipel de Résistance. Projet de rénovation et transformation de péniches de type Freycinet et de barges à Paris

Le regard que nous avons porté sur la ville et ses moyens de production dans l’énoncé théorique, Habiter, la nouvelle résistance, nous a montré qu’il n’existe pas de ville type ou de solution urbaine normalisée. Ces processus ont pour but de permettre le c ...

Fire performance evaluation of GFRP-balsa sandwich bridge decks

Niloufar Vahedi

Bridges are a critical component of national infrastructures and economies. A significant percentage of bridges built all around the world are made of reinforced concrete which according to building codes have a life span between 80-100 years. However, str ...

Two-dimensional analytical stress distribution model for unbalanced FRP composite single-lap joints

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Zhengwen Jiang

A two-dimensional analytical stress distribution model taking into account the effects of large deformation, bending-tension coupling and interfacial compliance on the quasi-static behavior of unbalanced FRP composite single-lap joints (SLJs) under tension ...

Adhesion of surgical sealants used in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery

Yves Leterrier, Yann Barrandon

Surgical sealants are widely used in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery essentially for hemostasis and sealing. Their adhesive properties have mainly been studied by clinical experiments. The objective of this study is to measure adhesion of the three mai ...

Mixed-Mode Static and Fatigue Failure Criteria for Adhesively-Bonded FRP Joints

Moslem Shahverdi

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are increasingly used in many load-bearing structures. Joints are the most critical structural elements as they often become the weak links in engineering structures. Bonding and bolting are two of the main joini ...

Sliding-induced adhesion of stiff polymer microfiber arrays. II. Microscale behaviour

Bryan Edward Schubert

The adhesive pads of geckos provide control of normal adhesive force by controlling the applied shear force. This frictional adhesion effect is one of the key principles used for rapid detachment in animals running up vertical surfaces. We developed polypr ...

Water-soluble, unimolecular containers based on amphiphilic multiarm star block copolymers

Harm-Anton Klok, John Christopher Plummer, Céline Ternat

A new class of water-soluble, amphiphilic star block copolymers with a large number of arms was prepared by sequential atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of n-butyl methacrylate (BMA) and poly-(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEGMA). A ...

Blocking adhesion to cell and tissue surfaces by the chemisorption of a poly-L-lysine-graft-(poly(ethylene glycol); phenylboronic acid) copolymer

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

A family of graft copolymers that can sterically inhibit interactions between biological surfaces was developed. These copolymers contained phenylboronic acid (PBA) groups as saccharide-binding moieties on a poly-(L-lysine) backbone and poly(ethylene glyco ...
