[EN] Polysorbates are non-ionic amphiphilic organic compounds, widely used as surfactants. They have a molecular weight in the 1200-1400 g mol-1 range, so they are on the borderline between monomeric and polymeric plasticizers. ...
Structural engineers usually limit the use of HSC columns to seismic active zones because of their brittle behavior in comparison with NSC, even though it presents advantages both in terms of mechanics and durability. A ...

The inclusion of ductility requirements is necessary to guarantee the safety design of any concrete structure
subjected to unexpected and/or reversal loads. It is important to outline that plastic hinges may be
developed ...
Poly(lactic acid) PLA, and poly(hydroxybutyrate) PHB, blends were processed as films and characterized for their use in food packaging. PLA was blended with PHB to enhance the crystallinity. Therefore, PHB addition strongly ...
[EN] Thanks to their excellent deformation capacity and ductility, smart materials are now being increasingly used in the construction industry, one example being superelastic Shape Memory Alloys (SMA)such as Ni-Ti, which ...
