The influence of carbon nanotube buckypaper/poly (ether imide) mats on the thermal properties of poly (ether imide) and poly (aryl ether ketone)/carbon fiber laminates

The use of carbon nanotube buckypapers (BP) has boosted their use in polymeric composites. However, their low permeability makes processing difficult and limits their use. This work's essential contribution is to define the best parameters to process the buckypapers through vacuum filtration technique and the use of electrospun poly (ether...

Systematic assessment of damage to buildings due to groundwater lowering-induced subsidence: Methodology for large scale application in the Netherlands

In the Netherlands, subsidence of peat and clay soils due to (artificial) lowering of the groundwater table and loading of soft soils is commonplace, causing extensive damage to exposed and vulnerable assets. Awareness of subsidence-related damage to buildings has recently increased in the Netherlands, particularly after reported damages due...
