Equilibrium desorption isotherms of water, ethanol, ethyl acetate and toluene on a sodium smectite clay

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, John Christopher Plummer, Pascal Clausen

Desorption isotherms for water, ethanol, ethyl acetate and toluene from a sodium smectite clay have been determined by both dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) measurements and Knudsen thermogravimetry (KTGA), at the exception of toluene that was measured only by ...

Cohesive and adhesive properties of polycaprolactone/silica hybrid coatings on poly(methyl methacrylate) substrates

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Yves Leterrier, Bandeep Singh

Organic–inorganic hybrid materials were prepared using the sol–gel process in order to improve the scratch resistance of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) substrates. Sol–gel solutions based on tetraethoxysilane and α,ω-triethoxysilane terminated polycaprol ...

Deconsolidation in glass mat thermoplastic composites : Analysis of the mechanisms

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Véronique Michaud, Joëlle Wolfrath

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 ...

Micromechanics and damping properties of composites integrating shear thickening fluids

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Razvan Cristian Neagu

Damping is an important parameter for vibration control, noise reduction, fatigue endurance or impact resistance of composite materials. In this study, a micromechanical model was used to predict the damping of a composite material containing shear thicken ...

Carbon Fibre Reinforced Composite Waste: An Environmental Assessment Of Recycling, Energy Recovery And Landfilling

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Véronique Michaud, Christian Ludwig, Robert Andrew Witik

The environmental benefits of recycling are assessed against other end-of-life (EOL) treatments for Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) waste. Recycling via pyrolysis, incineration with energy recovery, and disposal via landfilling are compared. To acco ...

UV-intensity, temperature and dark-curing effects in cationic photo-polymerization of a cycloaliphatic epoxy resin

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Véronique Michaud, Yves Leterrier, Basile Golaz

A difunctional cycloaliphatic epoxy monomer was cationically photo-polymerized in the presence of a diaryliodonium salt photoinitiator and an isopropyl thioxanthone photosensitizer at different temperatures and UV intensities. The photo-polymerization kine ...

Prediction of the adhesive fillet size for skin to honeycomb core bonding in ultra-light sandwich structures

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Yves Leterrier

The formation of resin fillet between honeycomb core cell walls and skin in light sandwich structures was studied to gain a better understanding of the bonding process. A method was developed for tailoring the amount of adhesive between 8 and 80 g/m2. The ...

Residual stresses in diffusion barrier films on polymer substrates for flexible displays

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Yves Leterrier

A theoretical modeling framework is proposed to follow shape and residual stress evolutions of layered flexible display structures with respect to deposition, ambient temperature and relative humidity conditions. This model couples the mechanical equilibri ...

Plasticization of polylactide foams for tissue engineering

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, John Christopher Plummer, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Matthieu Cuénoud

Supercritical CO2 foaming of amorphous and semicrystalline polylactides plasticized by blending with 20 wt% polyethylene glycol has been investigated as a means of producing low-stiffness bioresorbable scaffolds for tissue engineering. For a given set of f ...

Models and Experiments of Mechanical Integrity for Flexible Displays

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Yves Leterrier

Flexible displays present a challenging problem in terms of mechanical integrity, a result of the considerable hygro-thermomechanical contrast between the inorganic, brittle device layers and the compliant polymer substrates. This paper reviews the main ap ...

Oxygen permeation, mechanical and structural properties of multilayer diffusion barrier coatings on polypropylene

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Yves Leterrier, Judith Helen Waller

To improve temperature durability for autoclaving of SiOx diffusion barrier coatings on polypropylene, plasma polymerized hexamethyldisiloxane (pp-HMDSO) is applied by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition as interlayer material and compared with resu ...

Photo-polymerization, swelling and mechanical properties of cellulose fibre reinforced poly(ethylene glycol) hydrogels

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Andreas Schmocker, Azadeh Khoushabi

The application of hydrogels as load-bearing biomedical components is often limited by their mechanical properties. Often an attempt to improve a hydrogel's stiffness is accompanied by a loss of toughness and swelling properties. In this work, we show that ...

Influence of process pressure on local facesheet instability for ultralight sandwich structures

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Yves Leterrier, Samuel Stutz

The skin wrinkling phenomenon was investigated in the case of ultra-light sandwich structures with a honeycomb core manufactured by one-shot vacuum bag processing. The interplay between process pressure and compressive strength of the skin was established. ...
