Mithapelli, Nitesh (author)Conventional construction techniques are unsustainable and expensive due to longer construction time, labour-intensive work, and the use of formwork. 3D concrete printing is seen as a potential substitute to overcome these issues. However, extrusion-based 3D printed structures exhibit a weak interlayer bond, and researchers have tried to address...master thesis 2023

Quan, D. (author), Wang, Guilong (author), Zhao, Guoqun (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author)The exceptional mechanical properties of Polyether-ether-ketone(PEEK) polymers make them ideal candidates for interlayer toughening of carbon fibre/epoxy composites. Herein, ultra-thin PEEK films with a thickness of 8μm, 18μm and 25μm were used for interlayer toughening of an aerospace-grade carbon fibre/epoxy composite. The mode-I and mode...journal article 2023

(author), Isaeva, Anna (author), Schall, Peter (author)Rhenium disulfide, a member of the transition metal dichalcogenide family of semiconducting materials, is unique among 2D van der Waals materials due to its anisotropy and, albeit weak, interlayer interactions, confining excitons within single atomic layers and leading to monolayer-like excitonic properties even in bulk crystals. While recent...journal article 2023

Sonar, Anurag (author)Glass has been widely used in the construction industry since the early nineteenth century. It was most commonly used in the form of a window, which is a flat glass panel. Glass has natural optical properties and is resistant to weather, making it ideal for use as a facade material. Glass’s novel applications in the built environment have led us...master thesis 2022

Chen, Y. (author), Chang, Z. (author), He, S. (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author), Šavija, B. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)A good bond between the layers of 3D printed cementitious materials is a prerequisite for having high structural rigidity for the printed elements. However, the influence of printing process on an interlayer bond is still not well understood. This study investigates the influence of curing methods (i.e., air curing, plastic film covering, wet...journal article 2022

Dimas, M. (author), Oikonomopoulou, F. (author), Bilow, M. (author)Interlocking cast glass assemblies are a promising solution for architectural cast-glass applications aiming for high transparency and a reversible structure that allows the reuse of the glass components (Oikonomopoulou et al.,2018; Oikonomopoulou,2019b). In such a system, an interlayer material between the glass elements is essential, to assist...conference paper 2022

Chen, Y. (author), Copuroglu, Oguzhan (author), Romero Rodriguez, C. (author), França de Mendonça Filho, F. (author), Schlangen, E. (author)For many 3D printed cementitious materials, air voids may play a dominant role in the interlayer bond strength. However, to date, far too little attention has been paid to reveal the air void characteristics in 3D printed cementitious materials. Therefore, to fill this gap, this study attempts to provide an example of systematically...journal article 2021

Quan, D. (author), Deegan, Brian (author), Alderliesten, R.C. (author), Dransfeld, C.A. (author), Murphy, Neal (author), Ivanković, Alojz (author), Benedictus, R. (author)The compatibility between the majority of thermoplastic veils (TPVs) and epoxies is typically poor, owing to the inherently low surface energies of thermoplastics. This tends to largely affect the toughening performance of TPVs as interlayer materials of carbon fibre/epoxy composites. The traditional methods for surface activation of...journal article 2020

(author), Garcia-Hernandez, Mar (author), van der Zant, H.S.J. (author)Franckeite is a naturally occurring layered mineral with a structure composed of alternating stacks of SnS2-like and PbS-like layers. Although this superlattice is composed of a sequence of isotropic two-dimensional layers, it exhibits a spontaneous rippling that makes the material structurally anisotropic. We demonstrate that this rippling...journal article 2020
