Effective Bonding Parameters for Hybrid Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT)

Creator:

Larkin, Blake

Abstract:

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a massive engineered wood product made of orthogonally bonded layers of solid-sawn lumber, and is intended for roof, floor, or wall applications. Although it was developed in Europe in the early 90s, CLT is relatively new to North America. CLT products must be certified for structural...

Development and evaluation of novel coupling agents for kenaf-fiber-reinforced unsaturated polyester composites

Creator:

Ren, Xiaofeng

Abstract:

Natural fibers are gaining popularity as reinforcement materials for thermoset resins over the last two decades. Natural fibers are inexpensive, abundant, renewable and environmentally friendly. Kenaf fibers are one of the natural fibers that can potentially be used for reinforcing unsaturated polyester (UPE). As a polymer matrix, UPE enjoys a...
