Surface Modified Abaca Fibers: Physico-Mechanical, Morphological and Degradation Properties Evaluation
Abstract: Lignocellulosic fibers are used as cost-cutting fillers in plastics factories. Amid several factors, the ultimate performance of composite ingredients depends on the bond between the matrix resin and the filler, and hence on the quality of the interface. To acquire optimal performance of the end product, adequate interaction between the matrix and the lignocellulosic ingredient is preferred. This is often acquired through surface modification of the matrix or filler. Abaca …

Strengthening of RC Structures Using CFRP-Near Surface Mounted Technique
Abstract: This study reviews the literature on fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) and their applications in near-surface mounted (NSM) applications. Since fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites outperform many conventional steel reinforcing methods in terms of quality, they are nearly entirely dependent on advanced concrete technology. Many structures that will still be in use two decades from now have already been constructed. A portion of these structures must undergo enhancements or be replaced, as they …
