Advances in Materials Science Research : Volume 30

This book provides readers with the latest developments in materials science research. In Chapter One, with regard to the reinforcement elements transfer from gas to liquid, various models more or less complex were proposed according to the simplifying assumptions that were made. Chapter Two provides the main classification and characteristics of composite materials with metal matrix. Analysed are the composites with metal matrix, specifically regarding to the matrix type, and type, the size and shape of reinforcements. Chapter Three reports on the research project on the effectiveness of geocell reinforced pavement, which included theoretical work with analytical solutions, numerical analyses with parametric study and experimental analyses with laboratory experimental tests and test field experiments. Chapter Four studies conditions for necking in neat polymers of different type and composites on their basis. Measurements have been made on polyethylene, which is a classical model polymer with simple molecular structure. Chapter Five reports on a method of modifying the polyester material to produce ion exchange fibre sorbents.
