Glass-ceramics containing rare earth gallium garnets were obtained using glass compositions as reactional medium. This work reports on the synthesis, and structural, morphological, and optical characterizations of Er3+ and ...

This work aims to characterize the influence of hygrothermal conditioning on the mechanical and thermal behavior as well as the fractographic aspects of the interface of poly(ether imide) and glass fiber composite joints ...

Glass from computers’ LCD monitor screens were recovered, ground and used as filler for Polyamide-6. The composites contained 10 wt% of glass particles. Two particle sizes were tested: glass particles smaller than 106 μm ...

The effects of hygrothermal aging on the mechanical and viscoelastic properties of vinylester (VE)/unidirectional glass-fiber composites are reported. The studies are done by means of a dynamometer (INSTRON) and a dynamic ...

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the effect of hybridizing glass and curaua fibers on the mechanical properties of their composites. These composites were produced by hot compression molding, with distinct overall ...

The chemical resistance of fluoride glasses in aqueous solution is a very important factor concerning the technological applications of these materials. In this paper, glasses in the systems In-Ba-Mg and In-Ba-Zn-Sr-Mg ...

The present paper is concerned with Mode I and Mode II delamination tests performed on three different glass fiber reinforced epoxy composites, chosen to obtain different final structures. The effect of crosshead speed on ...
