This paper reviews the literature published since 1994 related to the behaviour of composite
materials at low and cryogenic temperatures. The material properties addressed are: tensile …

In the recent years, the research about polyurethane (PU) composites (thermoplastic,
thermoset, biobased polyurethane with synthetic fibers (glass, aramid and carbon) and …

Composites materials and structures are increasingly used to replace conventional
materials in civilian and defence-related maritime transportation and infrastructure such as …

Flexible polyurethane foam composites with enhanced stiffness and energy dissipation have
been prepared via a facile layer-by-layer assembly approach. The composite foams …

Rigid polyurethane foam (RPUF) shows great application potential in the fields of
architecture, household, and transportation due to its lightweight, durability, and excellent …

Abstract The cryogenic (− 196° C), room (25° C) and high (250° C) temperature compressive
crushing performances of recently developed metal foam matrix composites was …

In the present study, low-temperature material characteristics of polyurethane foam, glass
fiber-reinforced polyurethane foam, and polyisocyanurate foam were investigated. These …

Composite materials are now used throughout the marine industry but their susceptibility to
impact events is still an unresolved problem. The complex nature of the problem in terms of …

The polyurethane foam (PUF) is one of the most widely used composite materials in
industrial and biomedical fields. It is frequently adopted in a wide range of environmental …

Cryogenics is the science and technology of very low temperatures, typically below 120 K.
The most common applications are liquified natural gas carriers, ground-based tanks, and …
