Recyclable flame retardant phosphonated epoxy based thermosets enabled via a reactive approach

Véronique Michaud, Valentin Rougier

The development of reusable fire-safe polymers with a prolonged lifetime heralds the switch for a transition towards circular economy. In this framework, we report a novel phosphonated thermoset which is composed of networked phosphonate esters containing ...

Development and Characterization of Rice Husk and Recycled Polypropylene Composite Filaments for 3D Printing

Véronique Michaud

Nowadays the use of natural fiber composites has gained significant interest due to their low density, high availability, and low cost. The present study explores the development of sustainable 3D printing filaments based on rice husk (RH), an agricultural ...

Electronic Multi-material Fibers and Textiles: Novel Designs and Applications

Chaoqun Dong

Flexible electronics and particularly soft fibers and textiles are becoming key components in rapidly developing fields such as robotics, health and personal care, sensing, or implantable and wearable devices. Thus far however, the ability to impart soft a ...

Mechanical properties of natural fiber composites produced using dynamic sheet former

Arttu Ilari Miettinen

Composites formed from wood fibers and man-made cellulosic fibers in PLA (polylactic acid) matrix, manufactured using sheet forming technique and hot pressing, are studied. The composites have very low density (due to high porosity) and rather good elastic ...

Microstructured biodegradable fibers for advanced controlled release

Shahrzad Shadman Yazdi

Biodegradable polymers are increasingly at the heart of therapeutic devices. Particularly in the form of thin and elongated fibers, they offer an effective strategy for controlled-release in a variety of biomedical configurations such as sutures, scaffolds ...

Dynamically reconfigurable DEAs incorporating shape memory polymer fibers

Herbert Shea, Bekir Aksoy

We present variable stiffness dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs), combining a single DEA actuator with embedded shape memory polymer (SMP) fibers, which can be electrically addressed to locally reduce the stiffness by a factor of 100. The device accommo ...

Impedance spectroscopy study of carbon nanotube–glass microfiber composites

Thomas Maeder

The method of fabricating composites composed of a glass micro ber matrix and the conductive nano bers is proposed. The nano bers incorporating single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and an organic material are spread over the surface of glass micro bers ...

A Review of HEMP Activities in Europe (1970-1995)

Michel Ianoz

This paper presents a review of the high altitude EMP (HEMP) activities in European countries between 1970 and 1995. HEMP simulators built in different countries are presented together with measurements performed under them and calculation methods develope ...

Ag-surfaces sputtered by DC and pulsed DC-magnetron sputtering effective in bacterial inactivation: Testing and characterization

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Rosendo Sanjines, Cristina del Socorro Lonfat

This study addresses the deposition of active, uniform nanoparticulate Ag-thin films on polyester textiles by DC-magnetron sputtering (DC) and pulsed DC-magnetron sputtering (DCP). The deposition of Ag on the polyester fiber was observed to be the function ...

Graded glass mat reinforced polypropylene

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Véronique Michaud, Joëlle Wolfrath

In the impregnation process, when pressure is applied, the dry fiber preform is first compressed and then unloads as the matrix flows within the pores. It has been shown earlier that for glass mat-reinforced thermoplastic (GMT) materials, the time to provi ...
