Fire Resistance of Geopolymer Concretes

Geopolymer concrete is used in applications requiring high degrees of fire resistance.

Geopolymer concrete has been proposed as an alternative to Portland cement concrete in applications requiring high degrees of fire resistance, because the intrinsic chemistry of the geopolymer binder does not require the retention of water or ...

Tomographic Electrical Resistance-Based Damage Sensing in Nano-Engineered Composite Structures

Aligned carbon nanotubes provide a means of enhancing structural performance of composite structures.

Advanced composite materials are increasingly replacing metals in the aerospace industry as they offer weight-saving improvements such as high specific strength and stiffness, while providing resistance to fatigue and corrosion. Traditional advanced composites, however, exhibit ...
