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...

This study reports the preparation and characterization of composites with recycled poly(vinyl butyral) (PVB) and residue of rigid polyurethane foam (PUr), with PUr contents of 20, 35 and 50 wt %, using an extruder equipped with a Maillefer single screw and injection molding. The components of the composites were thermally characterized using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogr...

The important characteristics of polymer/clay nanocomposites are stability, barrier properties and in the case of polyvinyl chloride also plasticizer migration into other materials. Therefore, the permeation properties of polymer/clay nanocomposites are discussed in this paper. The attention was focused to the polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Natural type of montmorillonite MMTNa...

Our long-term goal is to develop a hybrid cellulose-copper nanoparticle material as a functional nanofiller to be incorporated in thermoplastic resins for efficiently improving their antimicrobial properties. In this study, copper nanoparticles were first synthesized through chemical reduction of cupric ions on TEMPO nanofibrillated cellulose (TNFC) template using borohydride as a copper reduci...
