As plant fibres are increasingly used in technical textiles and their composites, underlying principles of wound healing in living plant fibres are relevant to product quality, and provide inspiration for biomimetic healing in synthetic materials. In this ...
The aim of this study has been to develop processing techniques for novel bioresorbable thermoplastic cellular composites, reinforced with continuous inorganic fibres, for use as biodegradable scaffolds for bone tissue engineering. As the implanted composi ...
Quasi-static axial tension experiments were performed in a laboratory environment on epoxy bonded, balanced double-lap joints composed of pultruded GFRP flat profiles. The parameters investigated were the overlap length (from 50 to 100 mm), the adhesive la ...
Quasi-static axial tension experiments were performed in a laboratory environment on epoxy bonded, balanced double-lap and single-lap joints from pultruded GFRP flat sections. Full-scale specimens were used to avoid size effects. Parameters investigated we ...
