Synergies and Trade‐Offs in Circular Economy and Community Development Nexus: Pathways to Local Sustainability

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent scholarship shows growing interest in the circular economy (CE) approach, which promotes resource‐efficient, community‐friendly activities. However, scientific evidence is still needed on the synergies and trade‐offs between CE and community development (CD).

Performance enhancement of nylon/Kevlar fiber composites through viscoelastically generated pre-stress [PDF]

, 2013
Kevlar-29 fibers have high strength and stiffness but nylon 6,6 fibers have greater ductility. Thus by commingling these fibers prior to molding in a resin, the resulting hybrid composite may be mechanically superior to the corresponding single fiber ...

Green ultra-high performance fiber-reinforced concrete (G-UHP-FRC)

Construction and Building Materials, 2018
Abstract This research first focused on developing a green ultra-high performance fiber-reinforced concrete (G-UHP-FRC) to reduce its cement content, and thus its carbon footprint and environmental impact. In this study, 50% of Portland cement by weight was replaced by 25% fly ash (FA) class F and 25% ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS).
