Abstract: Abstract Gypsum is the most widely used material as interior lining in buildings due to its low cost and good habitability conditions. The use of fibres as randomly distributed reinforcement of quasibrittle matrices, such as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.polymer.2017.09.052
Abstract: Abstract Torsional actuation of twisted polymer fibres is the basis for high performance tensile actuation when these fibres are formed into coils. The thermally-induced torsional actuation of twisted polyamide-6 fibres can be predicted by a… read more here.
