In-plane permeability distribution mapping of isotropic mats using flow front detection

Véronique Michaud, Damiano Salvatori, Baris Çaglar

In-plane permeability of textile fabrics is often characterized by one-dimensional rectilinear flow experiments, displaying limitations related to potential race-tracking effects and the need to run experiments at several fiber volume fractions. We propose ...

Building a Question-Answering Chatbot using Forum Data in the Semantic Space

Pierre Dillenbourg, Marc Laperrouza, Khalil Mrini

We build a conversational agent which knowledge base is an online forum for parents of autistic children. We collect about 35,000 threads totalling some 600,000 replies, and label 1% of them for usefulness using Amazon Mechanical Turk. We train a Random Fo ...

Permeability of textile fabrics with spherical inclusions

Véronique Michaud, Baris Çaglar

We investigated the effect of rigid spherical inclusions such as microcapsules and fillers on the permeability of fabrics by using glass beads as model inclusions. Beads with a range of diameters (40-800 mu m) and volume fractions (2.5-10%) were sieved bet ...

Low-temperature Fabrication of Highly-Efficient, Optically-Transparent (FTO-free) Graphene Cathode for Co-Mediated Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells with Acetonitrile-free Electrolyte Solution

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Paul Liska, Ladislav Kavan

Propionitrile electrolyte solutions mixed with sulfolane or with 1-ethyl 3-methyl imidazolium tetracyanoborate (ionic liquid) are optimized for Co(bpy)(3)(3+)/Co(bpy)(3)(2+)-tmediated DSCs working at low illumination intensity. Highly-active cathode cataly ...

Dynamic mechanical properties of epoxy/flax fibre composites

Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Fabien Duc

The mechanical and damping properties were measured for unidirectional, 0/90 and twill 2/2 flax fibre (FF) composites containing 40 vol% of fibres in an epoxy matrix. All composites were processed by resin transfer moulding. The influence of the impregnati ...

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 ...

Packing and permeability properties of E-glass fibre reinforcements functionalised with capsules for self-healing applications

Véronique Michaud, Erica Manfredi

In the framework of the development of capsule-based self-healing composites, this work investigates whether the capsules containing self-healing agents, dispersed on dry glass fibre reinforcements, influence their packing and longitudinal and transverse p ...

Experimental determination of the permeability of engineering textiles: Benchmark II

Véronique Michaud, Eliazar Rodriguez Garcia, Suzanne Godelieve Alphonsine Verheyden, Benoît Louis

In this second international permeability benchmark, the in-plane permeability values of a carbon fabric were studied by twelve research groups worldwide. One participant also investigated the deformation of the tested carbon fabric. The aim of this work w ...

The role of twist and crimp on the vibration behaviour of flax fibre composites

Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Fabien Duc

The damping properties of unidirectional, 0/90 and twill 2/2 flax fibre (FF) reinforced epoxy composites containing 40 vol% of fibres have been measured by vibration beam testing (VBT). The influence of the impregnation quality, the fibre/matrix adhesion, ...

Arrested fluid-fluid phase separation in depletion systems: Implications of the characteristic length on gel formation and rheology

Suliana Manley

We investigate the structural, dynamical, and rheological properties of colloid-polymer mixtures in a volume fraction range of φ=0.15-0.35. Our systems are density-matched, residual charges are screened, and the polymer-colloid size ratio is ∼0.37. For the ...
