Self-healing polyurethane elastomers have been extensively studied; however, developing an eco-friendly self-healable waterborne polyurethane (WPU) with exceptional mechanical properties remains a great challenge. Herein, we report healable, and highly tough...

The different influencing regular of fly-ash fractiontype of fibre (steel fibre and polypropylene fibre) and fibre fraction on the mechanical property and fracture behavior of Reactive Powder Concrete (PRC) are studied. Fracture mechanical properties of RPC is researched in double-K fracture model and fracture energy release rate G . Test results show that the crack propagation of RPC with steel fibers is limited. Its fracture toughness and pre-critical crack length is largely enhanced. Double-K fracture model and fracture energy release rate G are consistent with describing the fracture behavior of RPC.

The following paper presents a simple, inexpensive and scalable method of production of carbon nanotube-polyurethane elastomer composite. The new method enables the formation of fibers with 40% w/w of nanotubes in a polymer. Thanks to the 8 times higher content of nanotubes than previously reported for such composites, over an order of magnitude higher electrical conductivity is also observed. The composite fibers are highly elastic and both their electrical and mechanical properties may be easily controlled by changing the nanotubes content in the composite. It is shown that these composite fibers may be easily integrated with traditional textiles by sewing or ironing. However, taking into account their light-weight, high conductivity, flexibility and easiness of molding it may be expected that their potential applications are not limited to the smart textiles industry.

AbstractThis study has determined the fracture mechanical properties of 9 types of rock, namely fine-, medium- and coarse-grained granites, gneiss, quartzite, diabase, gabbro, and fine- and coarse-grained limestones. Test results show among other things that quartzite has the highest compressive strength and fracture energy, while diabase has the highest splitting tensile strength and modulus of elasticity. Furthermore, the strength and fracture energy of the interfacial zone between the rocks and 6 different mortars have been determined. The results showed that, in this investigation, the mortar/rock interfaces are in most cases weaker than both mortars and rocks.
