Microsphere Autolithography—A Scalable Approach for Arbitrary Patterning of Dielectric Spheres
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.MicroSphere Autolithography (µSAL) enables scalable fabrication of patchy particles with customizable surface motifs. Focusing light through dielectric microspheres creates well defined, tunable patches via a conformal poly(dopamine) photoresist. Nearly arbitrary surface patterns can be achieved, with the resolution set by the index contrast between ...

Effect of glass-fiber rods on the ductile behaviour of reinforced concrete beams
Alexandria Engineering Journal, 2018 Ductility can be defined as the “ability of material to undergo large deformations without rupture before failure”. The use of Glass-fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars instead of steel in reinforcing concrete structures is currently encouraged by many ...

Fatigue behavior of glass fiber reinforced polymer dowels
, 2020 An experimental investigation was carried out to evaluate the fatigue performance of two different glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) dowel systems. The diameter and spacing of the first GFRP dowel system was based on the current design standard for steel dowels and consisted of 1.5-inch diameter GFRP dowels spaced at 12 inches on center. The second
