The construction industry’s environmental impact has become a growing concern, largely due to the energy-intensive production of conventional building materials. This paper explores the potential of wood–cement composites as a more sustai...
This research addresses a gap in the literature by exploring the combined use of hemp and hemp hurds in composites, presenting a novel approach to bio-composite development. We report on the mechanical properties of epoxy resin composites reinforced...
This paper presents a modified finite element analysis (FEA) model for predicting the axial compression strength of large-diameter concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) stub columns, addressing the gap in research that has often focused on smaller dia...
Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP), noted for its outstanding properties including high specific strength and superior fatigue resistance, is increasingly employed in aerospace and other demanding applications. This study investigates the interac...
The objective of the experimental analysis was to assess the impact of the reuse of technological waste (recyclate) on the selected performance properties of the fibrous polymer composite used to produce components for the automotive industry by inje...
Nanocrystalline mullite was synthetized by annealing a highly porous 3D structure consisting of nanofibrous aluminum oxyhydroxides treated with ethoxysilanes. The chemical, structural, and phase transformations in the aluminosilicate nanosystem were...
The adoption of prefabricated elements and systems (PBES) in accelerating bridge construction (ABC) and rapidly replacing aging infrastructure has attracted considerable attention from bridge authorities. These prefabricated components facilitate qui...
Piezoresistive sensors composed of nickel nanostrands, nickel-coated carbon fibers, and silicone can be used to measure large physical deflections but exhibit viscoelastic properties and creep, leading to a complex and nonlinear electrical response t...
Carbon-reinforced polymer composites form an important category of advanced materials, and there is an increasing demand to enhance their performance using more convenient and scalable processes at low costs. In the present study, graphitic flakes we...
In this study, a “green composite” material made from 60% tree bark and 40% polylactic acid (PLA) was fabricated and evaluated according to its mechanical properties and biodegradability. Biodegradation tests were performed in compost, si...
