The growing use of glass in architecture has driven research into reducing its energy consumption. Thermochromic (TC) glass technology shows promise for enhancing building energy efficiency by regulating solar heat dynamically. Although TC glass help...
Reliable ballistic armor systems are crucial to ensure the safety of humans and vehicles. Typically, these systems are constructed from various materials like fiber-reinforced polymer composites, which are utilized for a favorable weight to ballistic...
In this study, PMMA/SiO2 composites were fabricated with monodispersed SiO2 and PMMA using four distinct methods—physical blending, in situ polymerization, random copolymerization, and block copolymerization—to investigate the composites&...
Previous studies have shown that partially coating electrode surfaces with patterns of ‘islands’ of hydrophobic tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE; Teflon) may lead to more energy efficient gas generation. This occurred because the gas bubbles for...
This paper presents the results of laboratory studies for the distillation of mercury from depleted coal sorbents produced in gold recovery factories using CIP technology. The mercury content in these materials is more than 1%. The developed technolo...
Composites with continuous fiber reinforcement offer excellent fatigue properties but are tedious to characterize due to anisotropy and the interplay of fatigue properties, processing conditions, and the constituents. The global fiber volume content...
This study explores the potential for recycling natural rubber (NR) latex waste from balloon production through the devulcanization and revulcanization processes. The mechanical devulcanization of colored latex balloon waste was conducted, followed b...
Continuously reinforced thermoplastic composites are widely used in structural applications due to their toughness, light weight, and shorter process cycle. Moreover, they provide flexibility in design and material selection. Unlike thermoset composi...
Polyurethanes are the result of a reaction between an isocyanate and a polyol. The large variety of possible reagents creates many possible polyurethanes to be made, such as soft foams, rigid foams, coatings, and adhesives. This polymer is one of the...
In recent decades, composite materials have been widely used in several fields. The challenge in recent years has been to find an effective and automatable repair technique for these materials. Low-speed impact tests were carried out on panels made f...
