We report the design and preparation of graphene and polyaniline (PANI) woven-fabric composite films by in situ electropolymerization. The introduction of PANI greatly improves the electrochemical properties of solid-state supercapacitors which possess capacitances as high as 23 mF cm(-2), and exhibit excellent cycling stability with ∼ 100% capacitance retention after 2000 cycles. The devices h...

The focus of this work is to make a significant contribution solid waste management by designing impact-absorbing bio-composite panels using bio-resin and denim wastes. In context, composite are produced vacuum infusion technique both epoxy acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO) based hybrid resins while wastes utilized as reinforcement materials in fiber fabric forms. Both physical (fiber den...

Abstract Transport of liquid water is one the basic producer requirements to ensure suitable physiological comfort drivers. This paper deals with investigation car seat covers’ efficiency from point view their moisture management. Two methods were used for evaluation transport in cover structures. Both them use a thermography system detection. The first method evaluates dynamic spreading cross-...

The influence of the fiber used as reinforcement in resin matrix composite materials submitted to repeated low energy impacts is analyzed. The aramid, glass and carbon fiber composites were submitted to drop weight tests from 0.5m and from 1m. The number of impact events necessary to cause failure was recorded, and the fracture characteristics of each composite were analyzed by optical microsco...

Various tissue-engineered vascular grafts have been studied in order to overcome the clinical disadvantages associated with conventional prostheses. However, previous tissue-engineered vascular grafts have possessed insufficient mechanical properties and thus have generally required either preoperative cellular manipulation or the use of bioreactors to improve their performance. In this study, ...

The present paper is concerned with modelling damage and fracture in notched woven fabric composites. Previous experimental work has shown that damage at a notch in a variety of GFRP and CFRP composites based on woven fabric reinforcement comprises matrix damage and fibre tow fracture along the plane of maximum stress. It is these experimental observations that inform the failure modelling deve...

The growing global energy demand requires solutions that improve efficiency in all sectors. civil construction sector is responsible for a large part of consumption. In this context, phase change materials (PCMs) can be incorporated into to the buildings. purpose study was incorporate PCM jute fabric, applying it as reinforcement cement matrices. order do that, method immersing fabric liquid ma...
