This study experimentally investigated the dimensional stability of SBR (styrene butadiene rubber)-modified cementitious mixtures in order to determine whether their properties are sustainable as a 3D additive construction material. Dimensional stability refers to resistance to material deformation caused by changes in internal relative humidity and temperature. Hence, drying and thermal shrinkage, which are the primary factors affecting dimensional stability, were tested. The mixing ratio of SBR-modified cementitious mixtures was determined based on a predetermined optimal flow of 70% ± 1% applicable for 3D additive construction applications. The results of this study showed that the elastic modulus, and drying shrinkage strain, excluding the coefficient of thermal expansion, all significantly improved as the SBR/cement ratio increased. In particular, drying shrinkage can be a disadvantage in 3D additive construction because drying in the printed mixtures is rapid due to the large specific exposure area of moldless construction. Consequently, mitigating drying shrinkage is very important. The elastic modulus, drying shrinkage, and coefficient of thermal expansion were all found to be associated with the dimensional stability obtained in this study. It was concluded that using SBR-modified cementitious mixtures was advantageous in terms of dimensional stability.

Ternary blends of cementitious materials are investigated. A cement replacement level of 45% is used for all ternary mixtures consisting of 15% metakaolin and 30% slag replacements. Three metakaolin and two blast furnace slag, referred to as ‘slag’ for short, products commercially available are used to compare performance in ternary blends. A mixture with a 45% fly ash replacement is included to serve as a benchmark for performance. The control mixture contains 422 kg of cement per cubic meter of concrete, and a water-to-cementitious material ratio of 0.43 is used for all mixtures with varying dosages of superplasticizer to retain workability. Mixtures are tested for mechanical properties, durability, and volumetric stability. Mechanical properties include compression, split-cylinder tension, modulus of rupture, and dynamic Young’s modulus. Durability measures are comprised of rapid chloride-ion penetrability, sulfate resistance, and alkali–silica reactivity. Finally, the measure of dimensional stability is assessed by conducting drying shrinkage and coefficient of thermal expansion tests. Results indicate that ternary mixtures including metakaolin perform similarly to the control with respect to mechanical strength. It is concluded that ternary blends perform significantly better than both control and fly ash benchmark in tests measuring durability. Furthermore, shrinkage is reduced while the coefficients of thermal expansion are slightly higher than control and the benchmark.

In the present study, Ni50Ti50 (NiTi) particle reinforced aluminum nanocomposites were fabricated using microwave sintering and subsequently hot extrusion. The effect of NiTi (0, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 vol %) content on the microstructural, mechanical, thermal, and damping properties of the extruded Al-NiTi nanocomposites was studied. Compared to the unreinforced aluminum, hardness, ultimate compression/tensile strength and yield strength increased by 105%, 46%, 45%, and 41% while elongation and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) decreased by 49% and 22%, respectively. The fabricated Al-1.5 NiTi nanocomposite exhibited significantly higher damping capacity (3.23 × 10−4) and elastic modulus (78.48 ± 0.008 GPa) when compared to pure Al.

The tensile strength (TS) and elastic modulus (ES) of non-irradiated (thermally treated) and irradiated Polypropylene (PP) - styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) composites were studied. The content of SBR (mass %) on PP and radiation dose play an important role on tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of PP-SBR composites. Tensile strength (TS) decreased markedly on increasing the SBR content on PP and even on exposing to radiation. The elastic modulus (EM) of PP-SBR composite has a tendency to increase with radiation dose and aging time but decreases with SBR loading. The water uptakes increase with SBR loading which accelerate with aging.Keywords: Polypropylene; Styrene butadiene rubber; Tensile strength; Elastic modulus.© 2011 JSR Publications.

Battery separators are thin, porous membrane of 20∼30 microns thickness. Polymer separators display a significant amount of shrinkage at elevated temperatures. It is difficult to quantitatively characterize the large shrinkage behavior with a free standing separator sample. This paper examines the use of a dynamic mechanical analyzer under tensile mode in measuring the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of three commonly used separators.

This paper examines the impacts of substitution of reused concrete sand (RCS) with sands, on the new and hardened physiognomies of concrete. the property of RCS blended concrete was examined and likened with ordinary concrete of 40 MPa compression strength. the physiognomies of RCS concrete vary from ordinary concrete arranged with characteristic sand, as an outcome of the quality of connected mortar, old cement glue, and more fines. the outcomes demonstrate that the RCS concrete demonstrations tantamount workability in contrast with ordinary concrete. the mechanical physiognomies (compressive, flexure, split tensile and elastic modulus) of concrete developed with RCS was lower in compression to ordinary concrete however worthy up to 60percentage RCS in the blend. The drying shrinkage strain of 100percentage RCC mixed concrete at twenty-eight days was watched twice in compression to controlled concrete and it demonstrated more abrasion value in that comparison and furthermore concrete developed with 100 percent RCS indicated 41percentage and 11.3percentage lower in sorption value at ahead of schedule and later age organize individually in that examination.


This paper discussed the properties of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) latex modified concrete. The latex modified concrete using SBR latex were prepared with various polymer-binderratios and tested for compressive strength, flexure strength, elastic modulus and rapid chloride penetration test. Latex contents were varied as 5, 10 and 15 percentages by mass of binder (cement and silica fume). The effect of the polymer-binder ratio on the properties of latex modified concrete was examined. It was concluded from the test results that the compressive strength and elastic modulus decrease with polymer binder ratio and flexural strength increasing with polymer binder ratio. Addition of latex reduces the chloride ion penetration due to latex film formation..

Using the previously developed method for calculating crystal properties based on the Mie–Lennard-Jones pair potential, the thermodynamic properties of the BCC and FCC phases of iron at the temperature of the polymorphic BCC-FCC phase transition are calculated. 23 properties of iron and their changes during the BCC-FCC transition are calculated. Calculations have shown that properties such as the Gruneisen parameter, the coefficient of thermal expansion, and the heat capacity practically do not change during the BCC-FCC transition. The elastic modulus, specific entropy, Poisson's ratio, and specific surface energy change in the same way as the molar volume, i.e. within 1%. The Debye temperature and its pressure derivative decrease at the BCC-FCC transition in the same way as the distance between the centers of the nearest atoms increases, i.e. within 2-3%. Based on the analysis of experimental data known from the literature, it is shown that even relatively accurately measured parameters such as the coefficient of thermal expansion and elastic modulus are measured with an error exceeding the values of jumps in these parameters at the BCC-FCC transition. It is indicated that amorphization or nanostructuring of a certain portion of iron during the BCC-FCC transition can contribute to changes in the properties of iron during this phase transition.

The indentation technique has been proven to be useful in determining mechanical properties of materials, but it is rarely applied to rubber-like materials (elastomers). It is difficult to describe accurately the mechanical properties of an elastomer by theoretical formulation due to its complex material behaviour. Indentation of a Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR-0) material by a rigid straight blade with a tip angle of 45 and 60 degrees was performed to estimate the elastic modulus. Indentation was carried out numerically by finite element analysis (FEA) and for the elastomer the hyper-elastic material model of Mooney-Rivlin is used. The estimated elastic modulus was calculated based on the contact depth. The predicted result was also verified by tensile test results. It was found that the predicted elastic modulus of the elastomer agrees with the tensile test result.
