Monitoring the reduction in shrinkage cracking of mortars containing superabsorbent polymers [PDF]
, 2017 Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is characterized by a low water-to-cement ratio, leading to improved durability and mechanical properties. However, the risk for autogenous shrinkage and cracking due to restrained shrinkage increases, which may ...

Atmospheric Freeze-Impingement Drying of an Autochthonous Microencapsulated Probiotic Strain
Drying Technology, 2013 The purpose of this study was to evaluate the viability of an autochthonous lactic acid bacteria with probiotic activity (Lactobacillus acidophilus) encapsulated in alginate beads and dehydrated using atmospheric freeze-impingement drying. Different materials were used to protect the strain (lactic solids, monosodium glutamate, and sorbitol).

Removing Oxide Layers and Retaining Oxide‐Free Steel Surfaces by Polishing in Oxygen‐Free Atmosphere
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.In this study, the efficacy of wet mechanical polishing under an oxygen‐free atmosphere for deoxidation and the retention of an oxide‐free steel surface are elucidated using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The methodology proved successful; however, the results were highly dependent on the preparation of the solvents used to clean the samples after ...

Novel hybrid flax reinforced supersap composites in automotive applications [PDF]
, 2015 Flax fibre bio-epoxy composites have not found many commercial uses in structural applications on account of their lack of cost efficiency and high susceptibility to environmental changes. Non-woven flax mats were subjected to alkali, acetylation, silane

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Cladding is a proven method that boosts the surface qualities of mechanical parts by applying a layer of more durable material over a base substrate. This work responds to the needs of offshore and pressure vessels sectors by focusing on cladding a super austenitic steel onto low‐carbon steel through gas tungsten arc welding.

Field investigation of deformation characteristics and stress mobilisation of a soil slope [PDF]
, 2015 Stress mobilisation and deformation of a slope are important for engineers to carry out reliable design of retaining systems. However, most case histories reported mainly on the response of pore-water pressure (PWP), whereas knowledge about the stress ...

Wet gum labelling of wine bottles [PDF]
, 1996 It is shown that bubbling on wine bottle labels is due to absorption of water from the glue, with subsequent hygroscopic expansion. Contrary to popular belief, most of the glue's water must be lost to the atmosphere rather than to the paper.

Pattern formation and selection in quasi-static fracture
, 2000 Fracture in quasi-statically driven systems is studied by means of a discrete spring-block model. Developed from close comparison with desiccation experiments, it describes crack formation induced by friction on a substrate.
