Corrosion is a significant problem and is, to a large extent, responsible for the degradation of metallic parts. In this direction, mesoporous silica particles (MSPs) were synthesized by a sol–gel technique and had an ...

The deteriorating effect of corrosion can be controlled by applying suitable polymeric-based coatings. In this work, polyolefin based smart composite coatings containing modified halloysite nanotubes decorated with ceria ...

The existing self-healing concretes that rely on capsules require modifications to one or more traditional concrete mixing, placing, and consolidating methods. Additionally, concrete mixture designs need alterations to ...

Lithium-rich layer oxide, Li1.2Ni0.16Mn0.56Co0.08O2 (NMC), is a potential cathode candidate for high-energy density batteries. Issues such as cycling stability, rate performance, and cost are yet to be overcome before ...

This paper presents the results of a field survey carried out on three reinforced concrete (RC) structures built respectively in 1960's 1970's and 1980's to determine the main load (environmental) and resistance (concrete ...

Although recycled polymers and reinforced polymer composites have been in use for many years there is little information available on their environmental impacts. The goal of the present study is to analyze the environmental ...

The second law analysis of a gravity-driven liquid having temperature-dependent viscosity and flowing along an inclined heated plate was studied. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) package FLUENT was used to obtain the ...

Composites of palm fiber and polypropylene were compounded using a mixing device at various temperatures, mixing times, and mixing intensities. Two mixing options were utilized. Either the mixing device was mounted with a ...

This paper investigates the bond between high-strength concrete (HSC) and tensile lap-spliced basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bars. Ten large-scale BFRP-reinforced concrete beams (300 x 450 x 3900 mm) were fabricated ...

An experimental study is carried out in this paper to evaluate the corrosion performance of mild steel reinforcing bars (MS), high strength steel reinforcing bars (HS), epoxy-coated steel reinforcing bars (EC), and ...
