composite materials

This article investigates the physicochemical properties of the high-entropy alloy MoNbTaVW and its potential application in strain gauge sensors for structural health monitoring of composite constructions, particularly wind turbines. The material’s suitability for accurate mechanical tension measurements is analyzed, taking into account its high thermal stability, resistance to corrosion, and tolerance to radiation exposure. It is demonstrated that MoNbTaVW maintains structural integrity at elevated temperatures, outperforming conventional metals commonly used in sensing systems.

This article presents a study of the use of composite materials in strengthening building structures. Materials consisting of two or more components or phases are called composite. Now modern composite materials open up new opportunities for design in all areas of production. The construction industry is no exception. Laminates, canvases, nets, rebars and ropes made of high-strength fibers of various origins are among the most widely used in construction at the moment.

The article examines studies on the reinforcement of reinforced concrete elements of cement -based fibro -based fibro systems (FRC) and polymers reinforcement fibro (FRP). Nowadays, the world economy, and with it, the construction industry is developing at a rapid pace. New materials, mechanization, construction equipment are emerging on the market. Due to this, modern structures impress with their shapes, scale and complexity of structures. The state of construction production in the country can be judged on the state of the economy of this country as a whole.

Ukraine's transition to an energy-efficient economy as part of its overall transformation to EU standards is a difficult but crucial challenge. The country's post-war recovery will involve modernizing the entire infrastructure in line with EU sustainable development standards.

The need for strengthening of existing structures has recently become topical. Composite materials due to their remarkable properties, possibility to adaptation to the design requirements and facilitation of restoration measures are widely used for strengthening. This article is focused on review of restoration approaches with the use of composite materials and specific features of their behavior under various impacts. Study includes analysis of recent studies in the area, identifying gaps of knowledge and perspectives for further research.

The main structures of modern buildings are using a RC constructions. Timely work on strengthening and restoration of building structures is very important in practice. There are many accumulations with many different ways and constructive methods of strengthening RC constructions in different conditions of application. This article describes the modern methods and innovative materials for the strengthening and repairing of RC structures.

The contact non-equilibrium low-temperature plasma technique is used to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) employing polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as a capping agent. Influences of PVP concentration on the formation efficiency of silver nanoparticle, their average size and stability have been studied. The synthesized silver nanoparticles had a significant antibacterial activity against two strains of Gram bacteria. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)-alginate composite beads with different PVP concentration were synthesized as materials for water purification.

 The properties of the filled polymer compositions largely depend on the nature and surface properties of the fillers- basalt fiber. The possibility of modifying the surface of the basalt fiber with commercial polyhexamethyleneguanidinehydrochloride and non-commercial polydiethyleneaminoguanidine - appretes, were demonstrated for the first time.
