Study of High-Strength Concrete Reinforced with Bamboo Fibers

Soto H., Marrero R., Benítez F., Medina C., University of Puerto Rico, PR

Concrete is the most used construction material worldwide and, as a consequence, has a significant environmental impact. Cement fabrication accounts for 5 to 10% of the global carbon emission. This has driven scientists to create [...]

Thermal Analysis of Polyimide-Cobalt Ferrite Nanocomposites

Mazuera D., Perales-Perez O., Singh S.P., Suarez O.M., University of Puerto Rico-Mayagüez, PR

Thermal stability and thermomechanical behavior of new polymer-based nanocomposite was investigated to assess the viability of the fabrication process. The nanocomposite film consisted of a polyimide (PI) matrix and nanodispersoids of a recently developed high-coercivity [...]
