Supramolecular Modifications of Semicrystalline Polymers

Michael Alan Giffin

Supramolecular interactions play an important role in defining the structure and the resulting mechanical properties of materials. For instance, interchain hydrogen-bonding in PAs gives them superior strength and stiffness in engineering materials, while t ...

Cyclic Behaviour of Unidirectional Hybrid Interlayer Glass/Carbon and Carbon/Carbon Composites

Anastasios Vassilopoulos

The lack of ductility is a major drawback of fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) materials. As it is known, these materials are stiff and strong, but brittle with little or no warning before final failure. In the last decades, some solutions have been proposed ...

Capillary Effects in Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite Processing: A Review

Véronique Michaud, Baris Çaglar, Jacobus Gerardus Rudolph Staal, Helena Luisa Teixido Pedarros

Capillarity plays a crucial role in many natural and engineered systems, ranging from nutrient delivery in plants to functional textiles for wear comfort or thermal heat pipes for heat dissipation. Unlike nano- or microfluidic systems with well-defined por ...

Dielectric properties of 3-3 flexible composites by infiltration of elastomers into porous ceramic structures using cellulose scaffold

Frank Nüesch, Thomas Geiger

Elastomer composites are prepared by infiltrating polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) into a porous ceramic structure of nanoparticles. This method differs from the conventional approach, where particles are dispersed into the polymer matrix, since here, the polym ...

Isogeometric Kirchhoff-Love shell patches in free and forced vibration of sinusoidally corrugated FG carbon nanotube-reinforced composite panels

Anastasios Vassilopoulos

Application of the isogeometric method is illustrated for free and forced vibration analyzes of sinusoidally corrugated functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) thin panels. These panels can be used as a potential structure for m ...

A Novel Method to Quantify Self-Healing Capabilities of Fiber-Reinforced Polymers

Cecilia Scazzoli, Véronique Michaud, Amaël Maximilien Cohades, Robin Samuel Trigueira

The present work investigates a novel and practical method to evaluate the healing efficiency of carbon-reinforced polymer composites. The method should be representative of damage occurring during the lifetime of a composite part, should tend to damage th ...

Extraction and controlled functionalization of lignin for materials applications

Stefania Bertella

Lignin is a renewable aromatic polymer that due to its abundance and unique chemical structure is a promising candidate to replace aromatic materials that are currently sourced from fossil oil. The same structure of lignin poses however drawbacks for its v ...

Sustainable polyesters via direct functionalization of lignocellulosic sugars

Maxime Alexandre Clément Hedou, François Maréchal, Véronique Michaud, Yves Leterrier, Harm-Anton Klok, Jeremy Luterbacher, Adrien Julien Demongeot, Graham Reid Dick

The development of sustainable plastics from abundant renewable feedstocks has been limited by the complexity and efficiency of their production, as well as their lack of competitive material properties. Here we demonstrate the direct transformation of the ...

Hydro-processing of biomass using novel metal-organic framework (MOF)/polymer composite catalysts

Vikram Vinayak Karve

Generating value, in the form of functional chemicals, from biomass is a critical need of today. It is expected that replacing petroleum with biomass as the source of many commodity and fine chemicals can lead the transition away from a fossil-fuel based e ...
