Micromechanical parameters from macromechanical measurements on glass reinforced polypropylene (2001, methodology): “However, we have estimated the magnitude and fibre content dependence of σR in glass reinforced PP using three different models and fixed room temperature values of the required input parameters (31-33).”
Durability issues of FRP rebars in reinforced concrete members (2006, background): “0% for GFRP at the same conditions above described [20,33,43].”
Evaluation of mechanical and thermal properties of banana-flax based natural fibre composite (2014, background): “However, the chemical treatment of the composite material leads to undesirable effects such as loss of mechanical performances, restructuration through strong swelling, or surface degradation [22–27].”
Multifunctional polypropylene composites produced by incorporation of exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (2007, background): “This underlines the potential in using platelet-type reinforcements which when oriented properly can stiffen the composite in two directions rather than in one as in the case of aligned fibers [14].”
