Abstract Cryo-compressed hydrogen (CcH 2) storage has significant advantages such as
long dormancy, high safety factor, and rapid filling; thus, it is suitable for the energy supply of …

Adding nanoparticles as the second phase to epoxy can achieve a good toughening effect.
The aim of this paper is to simulate the toughening behavior of epoxy resin by different …

The waste sugarcane dry leaves were utilized as the reinforcement with the epoxy matrix to
prepare the sugarcane dry leaves reinforced polymer composites (SDLRPCs). The tensile …

The natural fiber-reinforced composites (NFCs) are used to make sustainable eco-friendly
products with properties comparable to synthetic materials. However, NFCs are susceptible …

In this study, the effect of hybrid reinforcement comprising silica nanoparticles (SNPs) and a
blend of equal percentages of acrylamide-modified waste tire powder and polyethylene …

The cured epoxy has poor toughness owing to highly cross-linked nature. The present work
reports inclusion of ZrO 2 nanoparticles with epoxy via ultrasonic mixing process for …

The use of natural fiber composites in the fatigue prone structures is limited due to the lower
strength and durability when compared to the carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites …

The performance of the bonding materials of colorful anti-slip pavements is a critical factor
influencing their service life. To obtain a bonding material with good flexibility and durability …

This chapter elaborates on the modification of epoxies by different approaches to improve
their performance. Toughening is an important means of improving the impact energies of …

The objectives of present work include finding the low-cost alternative of environmentally-
unsafe carbon fiber composites and disposing of the waste cow-dung productively. An …
