Chen, Wei (author), Liu, Xu (author), Hu, D. (author), Liu, X. (author), Zhu, Xi (author), Fan, Xuejun (author), Zhang, Kouchi (author), Fan, J. (author)During operation in environments containing hydrogen sulfide (H<sub>2</sub>S), such as in offshore and coastal environments, sintered nanoCu in power electronics is susceptible to degradation caused by corrosion. In this study, experimental and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation analyses were conducted to investigate the evolution and...journal article 2024

Ren, Jie (author), Zhang, Lihai (author), Zhu, Yingcan (author), Li, Z. (author), San Nicolas, Rackel (author)This study compares the degradation behavior of the alkali-activated slag/fly ash (AASF) and ordinary Portland cement (OPC) mortars exposed to phosphoric acid with different pH values. The experimental results show that AASF mortars exhibit better resistance than OPC mortars against surface damage, although both systems get white deposits on the...journal article 2022

Wang, H. (author), Apostolidis, P. (author), Zhu, Jiqing (author), Liu, X. (author), Scarpas, Athanasios (author), Erkens, S. (author)Waste tire rubber has been incorporated into asphalt modification for decades due to its various benefits. There are two main mechanisms during bitumen–rubber interaction: rubber swelling and chemical degradation. This study surveys these two processes from the viewpoint of polymer science. The kinetics of rubber dissolution and...journal article 2020

Zhu, G. (author), Xiao, Y. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Wang, J. (author), Sun, B. (author), Boom, R. (author)GLARE (glass fibre/epoxy reinforced aluminum laminate) is a member of the fiber metal laminate (FML) family, and is built up of alternating metal and fiber layers. About 500m2 GLARE is employed in each Airbus A380 because of the superior mechanical properties over the monolithic aluminum alloys, such as weight reduction, improved damage...journal article 2012
