TL;DR: In this article, the effect of water absorption on the mechanical and physical properties of reinforced cellulose fiber reinforced epoxy composites was investigated and the results showed that flexural strength, flexural modulus, fracture toughness and impact strength increased as the fibre content increased.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of water absorption on the mechanical and physical properties of CF reinforced geopolymer composites is investigated, and it is shown that the magnitude of maximum water uptake and diffusion coefficient is increased with an increase in fibre content.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the effect of water absorption on the mechanical properties of nano-filler reinforced epoxy nanocomposites as well as to study the influence of different types of nanofillers such as nano-clay platelets, halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) and nano-silicon carbide (n-SiC) particles on the water absorption behavior of epoxy based nanocom composites.

TL;DR: In this paper, the physical, mechanical and fracture behaviour of fly-ash based geopolymer reinforced with cotton fibres (0.3-1.0 ) was described, and it was shown that the appropriate addition of cotton fiber can improve the mechanical properties of the composite.

TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of deformation and microfracture damage below Hertzian contacts in a coarse-grained Ti3SiC2 is studied, showing that the deformation response deviates strongly from linearity beyond a well-defined maximum, with pronounced strain.
