Piezoelectric properties of zinc oxide/iron oxide filled polyvinylidene fluoride nanocomposite fibers by Abdulrahman Mohmmed AlAhzm (14151183)

“…Both these studies show respective enhancement of 3.79 and 2.16% in the β-phase crystallinity values of PVDF-ZnO/FeO 3 wt% composite. Higher dielectric constant value obtained for the same composite (three times higher than the neat PVDF) confirms the increased energy storage efficiency as well. …”

3D printing of circular materials: Comparative environmental analysis of materials and construction techniques by Shoukat Alim Khan (14778226)

“…The main environmental "hot spot" identified for the geopolymer-based 3D printed construction process was the amount of electrical energy required for the mechanical processing of waste materials, which was more than 61% of the total GWP impact. In addition to decreasing solid CDW, the developed approach has significant potential for improvement by using more sustainable energy sources and reducing the amount of solid CDW generated.…”

Impact of CNTs' treatment, length and weight fraction on ordinary concrete mechanical properties by Mohamed O. Mohsen (17115667)

“…The results were then analyzed using statistical t-tests to evaluate the significance of adding CNTs to concrete. The results showed that 0.03% long-treated CNTs increased compressive, flexural, and tensile strengths of ordinary concrete by 23, 29 and 20%, respectively. …”

SYSTEM DYNAMICS APPROACH FOR WHOLE LIFE CYCLE COST MODELLING OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PROJECTS IN UNITED ARAB EMIRATES by Sadek, Ahmed

“…This is achieved by applying adjusting risks on project's initial cost at the preconstruction stage with respect to cost and risk behaviours at each time step. Cost impact is following an increasing S-Curve behaviour during CAPEX time and risk impact is following a decreasing S-Curve behaviour during CAPEX lifetime. …”
