Formation of Cu–C composite is a difficult technological problem: carbon is practically insoluble in copper. We show that the heat treatment of the Cu–C composite leads to the formation of a thin (approximately 50 nm) ...

TiO2 nanoparticles were incorporated into hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) nanocomposites films. The nanocomposites were investigated in relation to their structural, mechanical, and surface properties using scanning ...

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/cellulose nanowhisker (CNW) nanocomposite hydrogels to be used for wound dressing were obtained by freezing–thawing technique and characterized by means of morphological, physical, thermal, mechanical, ...

The aim of this work is to assess the behavior of biocomposites (CPSs) in regard to the generation of biogenic hydroxyapatite and also their degradation depending on the concentration of cross-linker agent, pH, and ionic ...

The nano-technology construction materials is a recent line of research that is opening new possibilities for ID & IT in civil engineering applications, allowing the systematic development of new technologies and more ...

An experimental study of the dynamic response of composite aluminum epoxy resin–CNT sandwich plates subjected to blast load is presented in this paper. The sandwich plates consist of aluminum square plates with a core of ...

Due to constantly changing social demands, there is ongoing interest in construction materials innovation (e.g. functional and smart nano-materials) that would be capable of exceeding the limitations presented by currently ...
