Flax fiber and its composites: An overview of water and moisture absorption impact on their performance
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2019-04)
Contemporary researchers have specified that natural flax fiber is comparable with synthetic fibers due to its unique physical and mechanical characteristics which have been recognized for decades. Flax fiber-reinforced ...
Moisture absorption effects on the thermal and mechanical properties of wood flour/linseed oil resin composites
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2007-06)
The thermal and mechanical behavior of new natural polymeric composite materials after exposure to humid environments must be well known and understood in order to predict their performance in final applications. For this ...
A mesoscale approach for modeling capillary water absorption and transport phenomena in cementitious materials
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-04)
This paper proposes a mesoscale approach for simulating moisture transport by capillary action in partly-saturated porous cementitious composites. The modeling approach explicitly accounts for moisture transport through a ...
THE ABSORPTION OF WATER BY WASHED PARCHMENT COFFEE WHEN STORED UNDER WATER
(University of Puerto Rico Mayagüez Campus Agricultural Experiment Station, 1961)
On the capillary water absorption of cement-lime mortars containing phase change materials: Experiments and simulations
(Springer, 2019-06)
Nowadays, the use of phase change materials (PCMs) represents a novel technique employed for retrofitting facades in existing buildings, mainly to fulfil temperature comfort and building energy efficiency requirements. The ...
Influence of humidity on the dielectric behaviour of BaTiO3–epoxy composites
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2020-06)
Epoxy resin and their particulate composites are widely used in different industries, as aeronautical, automotive, microelectronics and coatings. The water absorption can deteriorate the properties on these materials when ...
