We describe a novel strategy for reinforcing an epoxy resin using carbon nanotubes (CNTs), in which polybenzimidazole (PBI) was used as the glue to enable effective adhesion between the epoxy matrix ...

Epoxy adhesives have an unmatched record and an extensive 30-year history of bonding experiences. They combine high mechanical strength properties with dimensional stability, chemical resistance and ...

Innovative use of 2.5 mm steel wires in RC deep beams leads to over 60 % increase in shear strength, providing a viable method for infrastructure enhancement.

The most significant challenges involved in reinforcing honeycomb composites using traditional syntactic techniques are long manufacturing times, technical performance issues and overall finished ...

Rohit Ramnath, Application Engineer at Master Bond, talks to AZoM about lap shear strength and how significant is this property for adhesives. Some of the measures of the strength for an epoxy, ...

The Norwegian Navy minesweeper uses Araldite 2015 epoxy adhesive from Huntsman Advanced Materials to bond fiberglass-reinforced polyester panels to metal substrates in the ship's hull and stiffeners.

A corrosion-free composite rebar-reinforced floor slab, based on a lab-tested glass fiber-reinforced polymer rebar-specific punching shear equation, which performs like a steel-reinforced slab at a ...

Structural designers say there is cause for concern but no reason to panic over research that indicates potential for premature failure of flat-plate concrete frames reinforced at slab-column ...
