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 ...
The main objective of this innovation is to develop bituminous underlayers (sometimes called base course) with high percentage of re-use materials at low cost and with high performance. In fact, this innovation concerns the formulation and assessment of hi ...
From airplanes to sailboats to bridges, composite materials have become a significant part of our everyday structures. With increasing demand, these materials are pushed to their limits to improve structural efficiency. As a consequence, research and devel ...
The purpose of this thesis is to characterize internal strains in polymeric materials due to consolidation. In view of this, optical Fiber Bragg Grating sensors are an excellent non-destructive tool for internal strain characterization and damage detection ...
Nanostencil lithography is considered a promising emerging nanopatterning method due to its simple process flow, low cost, little restriction on materials, and high compatibility with organic or biological surfaces. The principle of shadow mask deposition ...
Al-Cu matrix composites with a high volume fraction of alumina particles (41-62%) prepared by gas-pressure infiltration are characterized in tension and chevron-notch fracture testing before and after heat-treatment. Their mechanical behaviour is shown to ...
Active materials with adaptive acoustic impedance are materials with an acoustic characteristic which can be controlled using as external source of energy and a control circuit. Controlling the acoustic impedance means controlling the transmission, reflect ...
This work contributes to the fundamental understanding of fracture properties of Particle Reinforced Metal Matrix Composites (PRMMCs), by identifying the key microstructural parameters that control fracture. To this end, PRMMCs with a high volume fraction ...
Molecular statics simulations of crack growth in fully lamellar Ti-Al are performed to elucidate the role of lamellar structure in determining deformation and fracture toughness in nanoscale structures. The lamellar boundaries are highly effective in inhib ...
The invention is concerned with an integrated process for the manufacture of polymer and/or composite products, comprising the integration of processing operations to achieve a plurality of material conversion steps, such as impregnation, consolidation and ...
