Bio and nano technologies are absent or incipient in papermaking industry and, concretely, in recycling and high-yield pulps sectors. In this sense, the present Thesis uses cellulose nanofibers (CNF), ...
Guerrero Garcia, José Manuel (Date of defense: 2020-02-07)
In this thesis, a micromechanical model for predicting the tensile failure process in hybrid and non-hybrid unidirectional composite materials under fibre tensile loading is developed. Derived from this, ...
Barzegar, Mostafa (Date of defense: 2022-09-26)
The use of Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP) composites has grown in popularity over the last few decades. They offer outstanding mechanical properties combined with a low density, making them an excellent ...
