The promise of enhanced physical properties and multifunctionality has led many groups to study polymer matrix composites (PMCs) reinforced with nanoscale elements, such as nanofibers, nanowires, and nanotubes. However, the application of such material in next-generation aerospace architectures is currently limited by the geometrical constraints and high energy costs of traditional manufacturin...

Abstract Basalt fibre-reinforced polymer (BFRP) composites probably tend to replace some carbon (CFRP) applications due their excellent specific strengths and sustainability. Despite the published early promising results concerning material properties of BFRP, application is not widespread, machinability supported widely by experiences. The main aim present study experimentally investigate dril...

CFRP in various industries: construction, automotive, many others. This literature review has shown that find numerous practical applications. Improving by reinforcing them with composite is an innovative approach design. aims explore the current state of art ...

Abstract A dynamic mechanical thermal analyser (DMTA) was used to develop insight into the properties of bioinspired asymmetric helicoidal carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites as a function architecture using inter-ply stacking angles 0° (UD), 0/90° (cross-ply), 5°, 15°, 10°, 20°, 25° and 30°. Here, we show that CFRP are linearly correlated their oriented ply fractions between 45° ...

Abstract The aim of this article is to determine the effects hygrothermal ageing on tensile behaviour asymmetric discontinuous helicoidally stacked (Bouligand structured) carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) composites. Eight different Bouligand stacking sequences were manufactured using both major and minor pitch angles. angles used 90° 120° while at 5°, 10°, 15° 25° from each composites tes...

It is an effective way to improve the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) members by externally bonded carbon fiber reinforcement polymer (CFRP) laminates on the soffit of the members. However, there is little investigation on flexural performance of RC beam flexurally strengthened by side-bonded FRP laminates. To investigate the flexural behavior of RC beams side-bonded CFRP laminate...

Reinforced concrete (RC) beams may require flexural strengthening due to the corrosion of reinforcing bars or changes in design load. The near surface mounted (NSM) and externally bonded (EB) techniques, using either glass carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP CFRP) composites, are used for deficient RC beams. However, strengthened with both techniques susceptible debonding failure FRP composit...

This state-of-the-art review summarises all the recent research advancements in field of properties CFRP composites, with exclusive attention paid to experimental work. It focuses on (1) important mechanisms and physical phenomena process anisotr...

Abstract Graphene and its related materials are increasingly applied in fiber‐reinforced polymers to tailor their material properties for high performance composites. Yet, the use of graphene derivatives that underwent a plasma functionalization process is not well understood. This study uses 1.50 wt.% unfunctionalized (rGO) or plasma‐treated reduced oxide with amine‐functionalities (frGO) an e...
