Experimental Investigation on Modified Geo-Polymer Mortar

Experimental Investigation of Toughness Enhancement in Cement Mortar

This paper presents the results of investigation carried out to improve the mechanical toughness of cement mortar. Toughness is a basic parameter which has to be improved in brick walls, concrete roads, machine foundations, dams etc. Materials fails due to an impact force and vibrations resulting in minor cracks and bonding failure between bricks, it leads to failure of the structure. In order ...

Electrochemical Investigation of DNA Adsorbed on Conducting Polymer Modified Electrode

Polymer films on electrodes. 8. Investigation of charge-transport mechanisms in Nafion polymer modified electrodes

The mechanism of charge transport through Nafion polymers coated on glassy carbon electrodes and containing Cp2FeTMA+, R~(bpy),~+, and O~(bpy),~+ (where Cp2FeTMA+ is [(trimethylammonio)methyl]ferrocene, bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) is described. The apparent diffusion coefficients, Dam,, of polymer modified electrodes, as measured by conventional electrochemical methods and which can include contribu...

Preparation of Sulfur Mortar from Modified Sulfur

Mixtures of mineral aggregate and modified sulfur, wherein the modified sulfur functions as a binder, are termed sulfur concretes or sulfur mortars depending on the form of the mineral aggregate. Molten sulfur reacted with olefinic additive, at 130-140 ºC, and then mixed with preheated filler and aggregates. Sulfur mortar samples were prepared by mixing 32 % molten sulfur, 10 % filler and 5...

An Experimental Investigation on Fracture Analysis of Polymer Matrix Composite under Different Thermal Cycling Conditions

Fracture analysis of glass/epoxy composites under different thermal cycling conditions is considered. Temperature difference, stacking sequence, fiber volume fraction and number of thermal cycles are selected as the experimental design factors. The Taguchi method is implemented to design of the experiment and an apparatus is developed for automatic thermal cycling tests. The tensile tests are d...
