3D spacers enhance flow kinetics in resin transfer molding with woven fabrics

Véronique Michaud, Damiano Salvatori, Baris Çaglar

Impregnation time in Resin Transfer Molding (RTM) is directly proportional to resin viscosity and inversely proportional to fabric permeability, limiting the use of high-viscosity resins with conventional reinforcements. In this study, we show how to reduc ...

Strategies for faster impregnation in melt thermoplastic resin transfer molding process

Damiano Salvatori

Continuous fiber thermoplastic composites are potential substitutes of steel in structural automotive components, since they combine fiber strength and rigidity with ductility, potential recyclability and low density of the thermoplastic (TP) matrix. Resin ...

Flexible fabric-based wearable solid-state supercapacitor

Jürgen Brugger, Xiao Sheng Zhang, Bo Meng

In this paper, we present a novel wearable flexible supercapacitor with the conductive carbon-nanotube (CNT)/fabric electrode and PVA/H3PO4 solid-state electrolyte, which is cost-effective and can be easily mass produced. Two kinds of fabric as the electro ...

Microstructure tailoring of selenium-core multimaterial optoelectronic fibers

Cyril Cayron, Fabien Sorin, Wei Yan, Alexis Gérald Page, Yunpeng Qu, Dang Tùng Nguyen, Tapajyoti Dasgupta

The integration of semiconducting materials within thermally drawn multi-material polymer fibers is emerging as a versatile platform for flexible optoelectronics and advanced fabrics. Developing a deeper control over the microstructure of the electrically ...

Annual glare evaluation for fabrics

Marilyne Andersen, Jan Wienold

Although fabrics are widely used as shading devices, reliable simulation models are rather rare and therefore the choice of a fabric with appropriate material characteristics is difficult. This paper presents a simulation model, which can be applied to mos ...

TimeRank: A dynamic approach to rate scholars using citations

Giovanni Colavizza, Massimo Franceschet

Rating has become a common practice of modern science. No rating system can be considered as final, but instead several approaches can be taken, which magnify different aspects of the fabric of science. We introduce an approach for rating scholars which us ...

Water retention behaviour and microstructural evolution of MX-80 granular bentonite during wetting and drying cycles

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Ali Seiphoori

MX-80 bentonite used in engineered barrier systems would be subjected to wetting and drying cycles. To assess the response of the material under such circumstances, a comprehensive experimental characterisation of the water retention behaviour of compacted ...

Structure-aware Synthesis for Predictive Woven Fabric Appearance

Wenzel Alban Jakob, Shuang Zhao

Woven fabrics have a wide range of appearance determined by their small-scale 3D structure. Accurately modeling this structural detail can produce highly realistic renderings of fabrics and is critical for predictive rendering of fabric appearance. But bui ...
