Building System

The glass fiber reinforced mineral matrix composite (GFRMMC) solutions allow designing modular structural elements made of prefabricated panels. Important research works on calcium sulphate in the beta anhydride III’ form, led in finding a mixture with increased workability capable to be cast on glass fiber reinforcement and obtaining composite elements. This paper presents the results of designing concept for a new structural system for building houses made of GFRMMC. Prototypes for elements and building system made after the design processes are summarized. Observations of structures regarding the structural behavior, thermal efficiency or indoor air quality are presented in the conclusions. The technology and the structural systems analyzed have many advantages to be considered as an alternative for traditionally building systems.

Multiscale Composites

In the present study, Buckminster Fullerene and glass fiber reinforced Polyamide 66 multiscale composites were produced using laboratory type twin screw extruder and injection molding machines, respectively. The glass fiber reinforcement was set as 30 wt % and samples A, B and C were produced with 0.1, 0.5 and 2.0 wt % Buckminster Fullerene addition besides the glass fiber reinforcement. Tensile tests were conducted and their results were compared with samples having only 30 wt % glass fiber reinforcement to investigate the effect of Buckminster Fullerene addition. The morphological structure of the multiscale composites were investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis.

The Matrix

The mechanical properties and water absorption behavior of a pure glass fiber reinforced epoxy matrix and a glass fiber reinforced epoxy filled composites immersed into a tap water were investigated. The main purpose of this experiment is addition of two different powdered fillers (CaCO3 and MoS2 ) into the epoxy matrix and comparing the properties of pure GFRP and filled GFRP. The composites specimens with fillers absorb less water when compared to pure GFRP specimens at room temperature. Water absorption curves and equilibrium moisture content were determined. The composites exhibit a positive deviation from the Fickan’s law with the addition of fillers into the matrix. The influence of water uptake has significant effect on the reduction of mechanical properties. It is observed that 3% filled MoS2 in epoxy matrix has less uptake of water and the tensile strength decreased is 3% , flexural strength decreased up to 18% and shear strength is 42% decreased when compared to CaCO3 filled composites and unfilled glass fiber reinforced polymer composite.
