Laminated glass panels are often used to enhance the blast resilience of buildings by replacing inherently brittle, monolithic that has historically been in building façades. These composite ductile offer superior resistance and result reduced glass-related injuries due interlayer's ability provide residual following fracture layers retain fragments. The various analysis methods have developed ...

In construction industry, laminated glass is more and more used for transparent loadbearing building components. It is known that the residual load-carrying capacity after glass breakage of glass/PVB (polyvinyl butyral) laminates is relatively poor, mainly due to the limited stiffness and strength of PVB. For that reason, the failure behaviour of laminates composed with a stiffer and stronger i...

Fouling is a ubiquitous and longstanding challenge that causes both economic environmental problems, especially for underwater detection equipment, as fouling directly limits the normal services functions of such equipment. Therefore, it necessary to develop coatings with high transparency good antifouling performance. Herein, novel zwitterion compound was synthesized, an coating excellent comp...

In this study, three different compositions of ZnO and TiO₂ powders were cold compressed and then heated at 1250 °C for five hours. The samples were ground to powder form. The powders were mixed with 5 wt % of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) as binder and 1.5 wt % carbon black and ethylene-glyco-lmono-butyl-ether as a solvent to form screen-printed pastes. The prepared pastes were screen printed on the...
