Abstract Polyvinyl butyral is used in safety glass interlayers, mainly car windshields. Legislative regulations require a recycling of cars after their lifetime and therefore also glass. This causes the availability recycled polyvinyl butyrate (r-PVB) originated from interlayers. Due to deteriorated optical properties, such as transparency, unknown amounts plasticizers, it challenging reuse mat...

Abstract The method of fibre optic strain measurement based on Rayleigh signal analysis enables the detection deformation behaviour laminated glass and modelling its load-bearing characteristics. system is already calibrated for surfaces by studies Chair Building Structure at Universität Siegen. In addition to discretely measuring systems, such as gauges, distributed particularly suitable deter...

Blends of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) and polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether (PEGDME) with low molecular weight ( M ¯ w ${\bar{M}}_w$ = 250 g/mol) show two calorimetric (for PEGDME content higher than 11% by weight) mechanical glass transitions. Their substantial changes the relative components are explained considering self-concentrations both polymers determined from connectivity their own chains...

Abstract Corrosion and icing are common problems in aerospace wind power fields. In order to improve the thermal hydrophobic properties of epoxy-based anticorrosive coatings expand application various working environments, modified graphene oxide (GO) was introduced into prepare GO/polyvinyl butyral/epoxy resin nanocomposite coatings. The preparation process coating optimized by response surfac...
