Abstract:Today, along with the conventional materials and technologies for reinforcement of building structures, structural reinforcement systems based on polymer composites are on the rise. A structural reinforcement system consists of reinforcing filler (normally, carbon fiber fabric or cloth) and adhesive binder. This paper investigated the modification of epoxy nobake adhesive binders to provide a higher thermal resistance and mechanical strength. The influence of epoxy novolac resins on the processing and physical… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
