The unconfined compressive strength and flexural strength of the inert slurry increase initially before decreasing with the clay shock volume ratio. The X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy results reveal that the alkalinity...

... composite. The thermal–mechanical behavior was investigated using thermogravimetric analysis and dynamic mechanical analysis tests. Furthermore, the surface morphology of the tested composites was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). When compared with the E-glass-reinforced GP polyester...

... structures, chemical and mineralogical contents of the samples were determined by scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray, wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WD-XRF) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. Information was obtained about the matrix, mineral phases, particle sizes...

... and double-sided patching, and graphics were created. Besides, the mechanical properties of the patch material were determined, and then Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy analyses were performed. The three-point bending strength increased up to 4.5, 9.0 and 6.5 times...
