Photocatalytic materials are being investigated as effective bactericides due to their superior ability to inactivate a broad range of dangerous microbes. In this study, the following two types of bacteria were employed for bactericidal purposes: Gra...

Combining eco-sustainability and technological efficiency is one of the “hot” topics in the current construction and architectural sectors. In this work, recycled tire rubber aggregates and acoustically effective fractal cavities were com...

The quality of the fiber orientation of injection molding simulations and the transferred fiber orientation content, due to the process–structure coupling, influence the material modeling and thus the prediction of subsequently performed struct...

In this research work, the effect of 20-day immersion of various types of reclaimed particleboards on thickness swelling and water absorption is investigated. This simple procedure has been chosen as the pretreatment to facilitate the chips’ re...

This investigation is motivated by the need for the development of polymer coatings containing inorganic flame-retardant materials (FRMs) and the replacement of toxic halogenated FRMs. A green strategy is reported for the fabrication of poly(ethyl me...

Following the rising technological advancements on composite marine structures, there is a corresponding surge in the demand for its deployment as ocean engineering applications. The push for exploration activities in deep waters necessitates the nee...

Natural fibre-reinforced cementitious composites are commonly used as outer construction materials. They usually suffer weather as a result of being expose to various types of climates. In this study, a series of experimental tests were carried out t...

Additively manufactured parts play an increasingly important role in structural applications. Fused Layer Modeling (FLM) has gained popularity due to its cost-efficiency and broad choice of materials, among them, short fibre reinforced filaments with...

The tensile properties of natural plant fibres are commonly determined by single fibre testing. The cross-sectional area used to determine the modulus and strength is usually obtained by measuring the fibre width and using this as the fibre diameter...
