Fatigue Performance of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Hybrid Nanocomposites Modified Using Core-Shell Rubber Particles and Nanosilica
Abstract: This study investigates the fatigue behavior of carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy composites modified with nanosilica, core-shell rubber particles, and a hybrid of both additives. Specifically, the composites were formulated with 10 wt% nanosilica, 10 wt% core-shell rubber particles, and a hybrid containing 10 wt% of each additive. The research aimed to assess how these modifications influence the mechanical performance and fatigue resistance of the composites under cyclic loading conditions. The addition …

Effect of Colloidal Nanosilica on High Strength Rice Husk Ash Concrete
Abstract: Nowadays, supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are used in concrete because it reduces CO2 emission during. The husks, which are production of cement, reduces cement contents, improve workability, increase strength and enhance durability. Pozzolanic reaction takes place when siliceous or aluminous material comes in contact with calcium hydroxide in the presence of moisture to form compounds possessing cementitious properties approximately 50 percent cellulose, 30 percent lignin and 20 percent silica, are …
