In the context of sustainable development, building insulation represents a major concern as a means of increasing energy efficiency. In order to comply with new norms such as the Passive House standard, locations where load-bearing components must penetra ...
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC), introduced by O'Regan and Grätzel in 1991, are a low cost alternative to conventional silicon photovoltaic cells, the latter requiring extremely pure starting materials and sophisticated production procedures. DSC's, based ...
This paper presents experimental studies on the fire behavior of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite laminates and unloaded cellular FRP components with internal liquid cooling. The experiments were conducted to verify the objective of liquid cooling ...
Temperature-dependent material properties of glass fiber-reinforced polymer composites were derived from tests performed on the material itself, from references concerned with similar polymer materials and from observations during full-scale fire experimen ...
A new model is proposed to estimate the post-fire stiffness of FRP composites after different fire-exposure times. The model considers the E-modulus recovery of the material if cooled down from temperatures between glass transition and decomposition during ...
The present work is aimed at assessing the feasibility of integrating thermoplastic polypropylene nanocomposite matrices into conventional fiber-reinforced composites based on hybrid textiles that incorporate both the matrix and glass-fiber yarns, in order ...
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 ...
glass fibre composites were successfully prepared. A specific processing method was developed for consolidated composites exhibiting different fibre concentration gradients. As the conditions to prepare PLA polymer foams with specific porosity morphology w ...
The present study investigates the origin of voids in sheet molding compounds (SMCs) sheets and their transport during the manufacturing steps. Paste mixing, impregnation, thickening, and molding have been performed with five different SMC sheets, one with ...
This paper presents an experimental study on the fire behavior of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) load- carrying slabs for building and bridge applications. Fire experiments were performed on cellular full-scale slabs with and without internal liquid ...
