High-performance fibre-reinforced polymer composites are important construction materials based not only on the specific properties of the reinforcing fibres and the flexible polymer matrix, but also on the compatible ...

Water composition during cement hydration can be changed due to migration of ions from the cement matrix to the solution. The storage of various materials together can lead to transfer of various ions and distortion of ...

This paper explores the influence of selected commercial plasticizers structure, which are based on esters of citric acid, on mechanical and thermal properties of Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)/Poly(lactic acid)/Plasticizer ...

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are hydrolyzable bio-polyesters. The possibility of utilizing lignocellulosic waste by-products and grape pomace as carbon sources for PHA biosynthesis was investigated. PHAs were biosynthesized ...

Mechanical interactions between concrete foundations of large civil engineering structures (tunnels, bridges or dams) and the asperity surfaces of rock masses represent a useful topic for investigation. It is obvious that ...

The machinability of newly developed zirconia ceramics for computer numerically controlled milling (CNC) was investigated. The zirconia blanks were prepared by the gelcasting method and tested in the green and two pre-sintered ...

Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) is a fast-growing 3D printing technology. This technology expands rapidly even in households. Most users set print parameters only according to their own experience, regardless of the final ...

The article describes the state of the art in reinforced geopolymers, taking into consideration various types of polymer fiber reinforcements, such as polypropylene, polyethylene, or polylactic acid. The description is ...

The proposed material design of BaTiO3/Al2O3/ZrO2 laminate structure predetermined for energy harvesters taking advantage of residual stresses developed during processing was prepared by electrophoretic deposition. The ...
