Measuring Nano- to Microstructures from Relayed Dynamic Nuclear Polarization NMR

David Lyndon Emsley, Aaron James Rossini, Moreno Lelli, Arthur César Pinon, Pierrick Berruyer, Etienne Christophe Socie, Judith Schlagnitweit

We show how dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) NMR can be used in combination with models for polarization dynamics to determine the domain sizes in complex materials. By selectively doping a source component with radicals and leaving the target undoped, w ...

Self-Healing Fiber-Reinforced Composites with Tailored Supramolecular Matrices

Federica Sordo

Fiber Reinforced Composites (FRCs), due to their intrinsic heterogeneity, are generally affected by complex multi-scale failure mechanisms leading to the formation of matrix cracks that are difficult to detect and repair. FRCs with the ability to heal and ...

A Review of Non-saturated Resin Flow in Liquid Composite Moulding processes

Véronique Michaud

The fundamentals of flow in the liquid composite moulding (LCM) processes are reviewed with an emphasis on multiphase flow effects considering the dual-scale thin porous media constituted by the textiles, and the dynamic wetting effects observed with visco ...

Behaviour of composite sandwich decks at high temperatures

Structures made of FRP composites have been shown to provide efficient and economical applications in bridges and piers. They are being increasingly used due to their several advantages when compared to traditional materials, namely, the lightness, strengt ...

A Facile in Situ and UV Printing Process for Bioinspired Self-Cleaning Surfaces

Yves Leterrier, Sara Dalle Vacche, Marina Aymara González Lazo, Feyza Karasu Kiliç, Ioannis Katrantzis

A facile in situ and UV printing process was demonstrated to create self-cleaning synthetic replica of natural petals and leaves. The process relied on the spontaneous migration of a fluorinated acrylate surfactant (PFUA) within a low-shrinkage acrylated h ...

Screening method for the onset of bonding of molten polyamide resin layers to continuous fiber reinforced laminate sheets

Martyn Douglas Wakeman

Thermoplastic polymer composites (TPC) with multiple fabric layers of continuous fiber reinforcement are laminate sheets designed to be thermally stamped and overmolded leading to low cycle times and thus high volume composite parts. Injection over-molding ...

Post-wrinkling behavior of webs in GFRP cell-core sandwich structures

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Behzad Dehghan Manshadi

Similarly to the post-buckling behavior of steel girder webs, the post-wrinkling behavior of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) cell-core sandwich webs can increase their ultimate shear strength. Post wrinkling is, however, different from post-buckling ...

Aramid/glass fiber-reinforced thermal break - thermal and structural performance

Thomas Keller, Julia De Castro San Roman Fest, Kyriaki Goulouti

Energetically weak points in thermally insulated building envelopes are formed by thermal breaks that are implemented to structurally connect external balconies to internal slabs. Current thermal breaks comprise stainless steel bars that penetrate the insu ...

Thermal mending in immiscible poly(epsilon-caprolactone)/epoxy blends

Véronique Michaud, John Christopher Plummer, Amaël Maximilien Cohades, Erica Manfredi

Blends of commercial epoxy monomer with a 4,4'-diaminodiphenylsulfone hardener and poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) were evaluated for their potential as a self-healing matrix for fiber-reinforced composites, based on their room temperature toughness and s ...

Effect of hydrostatic pressure on flow and deformation in highly reinforced particulate composites

Andreas Mortensen, Ludger Weber, Maria Gabriella Tarantino

Infiltrated particle reinforced composites combine a dense matrix with particles that are in mutual contact and can therefore transfer compressive stress directly from one particle to the next. As a result, these composites may combine characteristics of t ...
