The Role of Cold Atmospheric Plasma in Surface Modification and Adhesion Behavior of Polypropylene/Flax Biocomposites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Effects of plasma surface treatment on adhesive bonding of PP/flax biocomposites. ABSTRACT The emphasis on environmental sustainability has accelerated the adoption of biocomposites as alternatives to synthetic composites. However, their low surface energy may limit adhesion in bonding applications.

Sensitivity of Building Loss Estimates to Major Uncertain Variables [PDF]

, 2002
This paper examines the question of which sources of uncertainty most strongly affect the repair cost of a building in a future earthquake. Uncertainties examined here include spectral acceleration, ground-motion details, mass, damping, structural force ...

Finite-Element Analysis of Flexural Strengthening Performance of Fire-Damaged RC Beams

International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials
In this study, a simplified cross-sectional approach based on finite-element analysis was developed to evaluate the flexural strengthening performance of fire-damaged RC beams using externally bonded steel plates and CFRP strips. The strength degradation

Behavior of a Novel Cyclic Olefin‐Based Hot‐Melt Adhesive in CFRP Adhesive Joints Compared to Conventional Epoxy‐Based Structural Adhesives

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Rate‐dependent performance of composite adhesive joints using thermoset and thermoplastic adhesives, in terms of toughness and fatigue behaviour. ABSTRACT A recently developed hot‐melt adhesive (HMA) based on cyclic olefin chemistry, supplied as a transparent, non‐tacky thermoplastic film with a distinctive polymer microstructure, was evaluated in this

Experimental and Numerical Investigations of Punching Shear Strengthening of Slab-Circular Column Connection Incorporating UHPC and Galvanized Threaded Steel Bolts

International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials
Punching shear failure poses a critical risk in flat slab–column structures, potentially leading to catastrophic collapses. Retrofitting methods typically involve flexural or shear strengthening.
