The reinforcement potential of pulp fibres is presently not fully explored in thermoplastic composites. One of the reasons is that currently used processing methods comprise several severe thermomechanical steps inducing premature degradation of the fibres ...
The effect of different curing temperatures (from 20 to 40 °C) on the compressive strength and hydration of Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) have been investigated between 3 and 28 days, using the loss on ignition test (LOI) and th ...
The mechanical properties of continuous fibre reinforced metals (CFRMs) are known to be very sensitive to the selection and composition of the metallic matrix; for aluminium based CFRMs, commercial alloys are not suitable for this purpose. In the present s ...
Stress changes in hydrogenated phosphorous-doped fibers after Bragg grating inscription have been measured. Fibers with three different drawing tensions have been investigated. The core stress was found to increase independently of the initial stress state ...
A study of the microstructure developing at the surface of glass fibers in a poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc)/polyester blend is presented. Three different experimental methods are used: a technique based on the Wilhelmy method to measure the wettability of the ...
During reheating and post-processing of thermoplastic-based composites, deconsolidation is often observed: the volume fraction fibre decreases and the void content increases. In this article, the phenomena leading to deconsolidation are investigated, with ...
The forced compression behavior of random 3D and 2D pulp fiber networks is investigated. Existing theories are found to describe well the evolution of packing stress with fiber volume fraction for the pulp networks. It was, moreover, found that the packing ...
The evolution of morphology of reactive thermoplastic/unsaturated polyester blends at the surface of glass fibers is investigated during curing. The study focuses on two different types of thermoplastics, incompatible and compatible respectively with the p ...
Unsaturated Polyester (UP) resins are extensively used as a matrix for the production of composites due to their low cost and versatility. Their significant polymerization shrinkage has however a negative impact on the dimensional stability of the molded p ...
Electrical resistance in carbon-fiber reinforced polymers has been shown experimentally to be a sensitive measure of internal damage. To quantify the dependence of electrical resistance on mechanical fiber damage at the micromechanical level, a numerical e ...
