    Abstract : Polymer nanocomposites are promising materials for dielectrical use in high voltage applications and insulations. This work presents a study of nanocomposites based on poly(ethylene-co-butyl acrylate) with two different comonomer compositions and two different aluminium oxide nanoparticles. READ MORE

  5. 3. Long-term performance of water repellants on rendered autoclaved aerated concrete

    Author : Hülya Kus; KTH; []
    Keywords : water repellants; renderings; autoclaved aerated concrete; surface treatments; long-term performance; degradation; natural weathering; artificial weathering; moisture monitoring;

    Abstract : Many failures of external walls made of porous buildingmaterials are caused by excessive moisture content,particularly after driving rain and under long duration ofmoist conditions. Lack of sufficient protection againstexposure conditions is one of the reasons for external wallsprematurely demonstrating failures, i.e. READ MORE

  6. 4. On the long-term behaviour of tension loaded piles in natural soft soils

    Author : Jorge Yannie; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; soft clay; piles; creep rupture; rate dependent; tension load; long-term; field test; numerical model; uplift; creep of piles; installation;

    Abstract : The complexity and scale of new infrastructure projects have challenged the current geotechnical design practice. Urban areas are growing at a fast pace in the horizontal and vertical direction, with taller buildings and deeper underground constructions in already densely populated areas. READ MORE

  7. 5. Long-term Properties of Sustainable Polymeric Materials : Mechanical Recycling and Use of Renewable Resources

    Author : Emma Strömberg; Sigbritt Karlsson; Amparo Ribes-Greus; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sustainable materials; mechanical recycling; polyolefin; reprocessing; accelerated ageing; chromatography; biofilm; microenvironment chamber; environmental degradation; biocomposite; nanocomposite; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

    Abstract : New strategies for management of the accumulating amounts of plastic waste are required, to achieve a sustainable development in terms of material production and use. After service life, the materials should be recovered and recycled efficiently to provide a valuable resource for future applications. READ MORE
