With growing concerns over environmental issues, fibre reinforced composites based on renewable, biodegradable low-cost cellulosic/cellulose fibres increasingly attract interest. This paper reports on the first study to produce viscoelastically prest... Read More about Towards “green” viscoelastically prestressed composites: Cellulose fibre reinforcement.

© 2017 Elsevier Ltd By applying tensile creep to polymeric fibres, a viscoelastically prestressed polymeric matrix composite (VPPMC) can be produced by removing the creep load before the fibres are moulded into a resin matrix. The viscoelastically st... Read More about Viscoelastically prestressed polymeric matrix composites – Effects of temperature on Charpy impact behaviour.
