  • An ABAQUS™ plug-in for the geometry generation of Representative Volume Elements with randomly distributed fibers and interphases
    31 January 2019

    [Riaño, L.; Joliff, Y. An Abaqus™ Plug-in for the Geometry Generation of Representative Volume Elements with Randomly Distributed Fibers and Interphases. Composite Structures 2019, 209, 644–651. >https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2018.10.096]
    Abstract : This paper proposes a plug-in called RVE for composites for the commercial software ABAQUS™. This tool generates 2D as well as 3D multi-fiber microstructure geometries for unidirectional composites with random distributions. Its (…)

  • Comparative effects of humid tropical weathering and artificial ageing on a model composite properties from nano- to macro-scale
    2 November 2015, by webmaster

    Belec, L.; Nguyen, T. H.; Nguyen, D. L.; Chailan, J. F. Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing 2015, 68, 235–241
    Abstract :
    The effects of humid tropical conditions and artificial ageing tests on a UD glass-fibre/epoxy composite are compared at different scales. A modified network of 500 nm width around each fibre is identified by AFM force measurements. The evolution of this interphase is correlated to the composite embrittlement observed in transverse bending tests (…)

  • Electroactive polyacrylates bearing linear conjugated systems based on EDOT moieties
    15 October 2018

    Faye, D.; Duong, T. H.; Vieitez, I.; Gohier, F.; Brisset, H.; Frère, P.; Briand, J.-F.; Leriche, P.; Bressy, C. Electroactive Polyacrylates Bearing Linear Conjugated Systems Based on EDOT Moieties. Polymer 2017, 117, 17–24 Abstract :
    New polyacrylates bearing an electropolymerizable bi or terthiophene group have been synthesized via classical radical polymerization and via RAFT process. Polymerizations can be controlled if thiophene moieties have protected a positions; otherwise (…)

  • Screening of bromotyramine analogues as antifouling compounds against marine bacteria
