The aim of this thesis is to assess the feasibility of integrating nanoparticles into glass fiber (GF) reinforced isotactic polypropylene (iPP) composites via existing thermoplastic processing routes, and to investigate whether this results in significant ...
For centuries, the use of glass in buildings was essentially restricted to functions such as windows and glazing. Over the last decades, continuous improvements in production and refining technologies have enabled glass elements to carry more substantial s ...
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites offer several advantages in relation to traditional materials, such as high specific strength, good corrosion resistance, low thermal conductivity and rapid component installation. Despite the great potential of th ...
Ultra-High Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) can be considered, due to its high strength and improved durability, as one of the leading recent innovations in civil engineering. Material scientists have developed a very efficient, high-tech mat ...
Ultra high performance concretes (UHPFRC) are characterized by a dense matrix and a high fibre content. These materials exhibit exceptional mechanical and durability properties making them an ideal material for rehabilitating existing structures. The prima ...
Reinforced glass beams. At the faculty of Architecture at Delft University of Technology, a research group focuses on the development of transparent structures and components with safe failure behaviour. One of the concepts currently under investigation is ...
Phosphate glass (PG) of the composition 0.46(CaO)-0.04(Na(2)O)- 0.5(P(2)O(5)) was used as filler in poly-L-lactic acid (PLA) foams developed as degradable scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. The effect of PG on PLA was assessed both in bulk and porous c ...
Researchers at the faculty of Architecture at Delft University of Technology have developed an unconventional construction method for large span structural glass beams based on two concepts: 1) glass beams are reinforced with a small stainless steel sectio ...
This paper reports on a structural concept for engineering structures composed of FRP components to provide system ductility that compensates for the lack of material ductility inherent to FRP materials. The concept includes the use of redundant structural ...
Phosphate glass (PG) of the composition 0.46(CaO)–0.04(Na2O)–0.5(P2O5) was used as filler in poly-L-lactic acid (PLA) foams developed as degradable scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. The effect of PG on PLA was assessed both in bulk and porous composit ...
