Functional composites with damage control and repair

Amaël Maximilien Cohades

Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite structures are subjected during service to low energy impacts or unexpected loads, leading to damage. Microcracks are generally first formed in the matrix and can reach up to several hundred microns in thickness. In ...

Equilibrium and Out-of-Equilibrium Adherence of Hydrogels against Polymer Brushes

Costantino Creton, Jennifer Mary Adrienne Alice Macron

At low pH, underwater adherence between poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) hydrogels and poly(acrylic acid) brushes is due to the formation of multiple hydrogen bonds. The effect of the key parameters controlling the formation of these interactions (contact time ...
