    • Interesting Remarks on the Comparison of Organomodified Nanomontmorillonites in Fibre-Cement Nanohybrids 

      Papatzani, Styliani; Grammatikos, Sotirios; Paine, Kevin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      This paper presents the effects of the addition of (i) the organomodified nanomontmorillonite (nMt) dispersion, nC2, produced for the scope of the FP7 project name FIBCEM and of (ii) the powder, undispersed organomodified ...
    • Is Hygrothermal Aging of Construction Polymer Composites a Reversible Process? 

      Grammatikos, Sotirios; Papatzani, Styliani; Evernden, Mark (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      This paper presents the effects of wet/dry cycling loading on the moisture uptake behavior of a Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite used in the civil engineering sector. FRP samples of various dimensions were cut from ...
