Cigarette filter material and polypropylene fibres in concrete to control drying shrinkage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Due to a reduction in demand for cigarette filter material (North East UK), significant quantities have arisen that have little commercial value. The filter manufacturers have been looking for another outlet for their product and polypropylene fibre ...

Adjustment of Coatings Morphology and Particle Distribution of Layered Silicates by Freeze‐Drying for Improved Gas Barriers

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Freeze‐drying of layered silicate is the key to get coatings with superior gas barrier. Freeze‐drying of layered silicates modified with dodecylamine (DDA) is a highly effective technique for the preparation of barrier pigments that significantly mitigate the permeation of oxygen, water vapor, and hydrogen through polymer films containing these ...

Shrinkage properties of steel fiber reinforced concrete- A review

open access: yesApplications in Engineering Science
Cracks induced by concrete shrinkage may allow corrosive agents to penetrate steel reinforced concrete and deteriorate the reinforcement. Adding randomly distributed steel fiber to concrete can reduce shrinkage and prevent the initiation of cracking ...

Investigation of Early Age Tensile Stresses, Shrinkage Strains in Pavements and Standard Drying Shrinkage Tests [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Crack prevention is often a critical parameter in the design and construction of ground and suspended concrete slabs. Often when the degree of restraint is high, uncontrolled cracking can influence the serviceability of a structure.

Development and Preliminary In Vivo Study of 3D‐Printed Bioactive Glass Scaffolds with Trabecular Architecture

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study reports the fabrication of trabecular bioactive glass scaffolds (composition “1d”: 46.1SiO2‐28.7CaO‐8.8MgO‐6.2P2O5‐5.7CaF2‐4.5Na2O wt%) through vat photopolymerization and the relevant results from mechanical testing and in vivo implantation procedures in rabbit femora, showing great promise for bone tissue engineering applications.

Single droplet experimentation on spray drying:evaporation of sessile droplets deposited on a flat surface [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
: Individually dispensed droplets were dried on a flat surface to mimic the drying of single droplets during spray drying. A robust dispensing process is presented that generates small droplets (dp>150 µm).

Advancing Research on Biomaterials and Biological Materials with Scanning Electron Microscopy under Environmental and Low Vacuum Conditions

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Herein, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) is discussed as a powerful extension of conventional SEM for life sciences. By combining high‐resolution imaging with variable pressure and humidity, ESEM allows the analysis of untreated biological materials, supports in situ monitoring of hydration‐driven changes, and advances the functional ...

On effect of superplasticizers and mineral additives on shrinkage of hardened cement paste and concrete

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
A model describing the variation in autogenous shrinkage and drying shrinkage of portland cement concrete, depending on the volume of aggregates and the shrinkage of hardened cement paste, is presented.
