The mechanical properties of unidirectional flax fibre reinforced unsaturated polyester resin composites were studied with particular emphasis on their tensile deformation behaviour. These materials displayed characteristic non-linear behaviour when... Read More about Deformation and fracture behaviour of flax fibre reinforced thermosetting polymer matrix composites..

The use of organo alkoxysilane coupling agents for wood preservation (2004)
Journal Article
Hill, C. A. S., Farahani, M. R. M., & Hale, M. D. C. (2004). The use of organo alkoxysilane coupling agents for wood preservation. Holzforschung, 58(3), 316-325. https://doi.org/10.1515/HF.2004.049

Corsican pine (Pinus nigra) sapwood was treated with methanolic solutions of two organo alkoxysilanes ([γ-(methacryloxy)propylx] trimethoxy silane (TMPS), or vinyl trimethoxy silane (VTMS)). Various treatment parameters were studied in order to deter... Read More about The use of organo alkoxysilane coupling agents for wood preservation.
