Summary: Polymer binders based on epoxy resins have unique properties that contribute to their use in many composite industries. By modifying the composition of epoxy binders and understanding the strengthening mechanisms, reinforced composite materials with desired properties can be formed. This study investigated the dissolution process of a modifying additive in an epoxyanhydride binder and its impact on the strength properties and structure. The results showed that the addition of 0.50% of the modifying additive improved the transverse bending strength, elastic modulus, tensile strength, and impact strength of the epoxyanhydride binder.

Summary: A series of novel Ni0.6Zn0.4Fe2O4/Ti3C2Tx nanocomposite modified epoxy resins with different additive content were prepared to serve as absorbing and anticorrosive coatings on cement mortar. The addition of 3% Ni0.6Zn0.4Fe2O4/Ti3C2Tx nanocomposite into epoxy resin showed the most excellent EMW absorption properties on cement mortar, with improved impermeability to water and chloride ions compared to pure epoxy resin coating. The use of Ni0.6Zn0.4Fe2O4/Ti3C2Tx nanocomposite modified epoxy resin as coatings of cement mortar provides a viable solution for electromagnetic pollution and impermeability issues.

Summary: In our previous study, we found that the incorporation of polyrotaxane (PR) into epoxy resins as an additive can enhance the mechanical toughness. In this study, we further modified PR by introducing epoxy groups (PR-E) to enable its incorporation into crosslinked epoxy networks. The chemical bonding of PR-E to the epoxy resins suppressed the mobility of the PCL graft chains and improved the mechanical properties.

Summary: In this study, a facile and green approach for preparing epoxy-terminated polyurethane (EPU)-modified epoxy resins with different EPU contents was reported. It was found that the addition of EPU significantly improved the toughness of the epoxy resin. When the EPU content was 30 wt%, the elongation at break and toughness were improved by 358.36% and 73.56%, respectively. Compared to ITPU, EPU showed better toughening effect. Moreover, the high content of EPU did not significantly decrease the glass transition temperature and had little effect on the thermal stability of the epoxy resin.

Summary: An orthogonal experimental investigation was conducted to optimize preparation parameters of repair mortar containing waterborne epoxy resin and evaluate its degradation performances under different ageing conditions: water immersion, thermal ageing, and hydro-thermal ageing. The study found that water-cement ratio and polymer-cement ratio significantly influenced the mechanical properties of the mortar, and an optimal combination was achieved with a 5% dosage of coalescing agent. Changes in residual coefficients were reversible under water immersion but almost irreversible under thermal ageing, with more complications observed under hydro-thermal ageing. Raman spectroscopy was used to characterize phase changes and chemistry evolution during ageing tests.

Summary: This study analyzes the erosion mechanisms of NaCl solution on asphalt concrete and finds that NaCl solution softens asphalt and promotes the intrusion of crystalline salt into it. Salt crystallization alters the surface roughness of aggregates, resulting in a decrease in skid resistance but an improvement in compressive strength. Additionally, the concentration of NaCl solution initially has no significant impact on the mechanical performance of asphalt concrete, but its domination gradually increases with the intensification of cyclic effects.

Summary: This paper investigates the effect of freezing and thawing cycles on the tensile behavior of cracked ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). The results show that long-term freezing and thawing action deteriorates the cracking strength, tensile strength, tensile strain, and strain energy of cracked UHPC. On the other hand, the action of water generally favors the development of tensile properties of UHPC. The crack distribution tends to be unsaturated under freezing and thawing environment, and the re-hydration reaction is hindered. The pore structure near the crack varies under different environments.

Summary: This study investigates the fatigue behavior of concrete under different stress reversal conditions. The results indicate that stress reversal generally causes more severe damage and reduces the cycles to failure compared to tensile fatigue. Additionally, adding some level of compression contributes to the energy required for failure under stress reversal fatigue. Specimens with higher concentration of fractured aggregates achieve longer fatigue lives.

The results show that both compressive and tensile properties of stones are affected by temperature changes. The tensile strength is particularly sensitive to temperature changes, requiring special attention to the components subjected to tensile stress in stone buildings. Principal component analysis was used to predict the mechanical properties of stones, providing a new method for calculating the residual mechanical properties after high temperature or fire.
