Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite structures are subjected during service to low energy impacts or unexpected loads, leading to damage. Microcracks are generally first formed in the matrix and can reach up to several hundred microns in thickness. In ...
The free-radical homopolymerization of 1,3-bis(N,N,N-trimethylammonium)-2-propylmethacrylate dichloride (di-M) and 1,3-bis(N,N,N-trimethylammonium)-2-propylacrylate dichloride (di-A) in aqueous solution yields cationic polyelectrolytes (PEL) with theoretic ...
Aqueous drops of a well-defined size are often used as small containers for conducting chemical and biochemical reactions, cell assays and as templates to produce microparticles. To prevent their coalescence, they must be stabilized, for example, using sur ...
