    Abstract: Solid electrolyte and at least one of piezoelectric and thermoelectric materials are incorporated into material systems to provide them with self-healing and adaptive qualities. The piezoelectric and thermoelectric constituents convert the mechanical and thermal energy, respectively, concentrated in critical areas into electrical energy which, in turn, guides and drives electrolytic transport of mass within solid electrolyte towards and its electrodeposition at critical areas to render self-healing and adaptive effects. Material systems incorporating the solid electrolyte but not the piezoelectric and thermoelectric constituents are also amenable to healing and adaptive effects through external application of electric potential for electrolytic transport of mass towards and its electrodeposition at critical areas.

    Abstract: Pulp fibers derived from wood or non-wood plants or recycled paper products, which are about 0.1-30 mm long and about 0.001-0.1 mm in diameter with length-to-diameter ratio of about 30-3000, are dispersed in conventional concrete mixtures using conventional mixing equipment for effectively improving fresh and hardened concrete properties at relatively low cost. Dispersion is achieved by individualizing the plant pulp fibers so that they are not fully bonded to each other, and dispersing the individual fibers in concrete at relatively low dosages of about 0.3-30 kg per cubic meter. Once individualized, the affinity of plant pulp fibers for water facilitates their dispersion in conventional concrete mixtures. Fresh concrete mixtures incorporating the dispersed individualized plant pulp fibers possess desirable workability, resistance to segregation and bleeding, pumpability, finishability, and reduced rebound when pneumatically applied. Hardened concrete materials incorporating the dispersed individualized plant pulp fibers provide improved crack resistance, toughness characteristics, impact resistance, fatigue life, abrasion resistance, and other mechanical, physical and durability characteristics. Precast and cast-in-pace concrete as well as plain and reinforced concrete and shotcrete benefit from such improvements in fresh and hardened material properties rendered by dispersed plant pulp fibers.

    Abstract: Shape-memory fibers are incorporated into a metal matrix material with a level of fiber-to-matrix bonding so that upon localized failure of matrix under load, the strains in fibers debond them from the matrix to the extent that fibers do not all rupture at the location of matrix failure. The pull-out process of fibers ruptured away from the matrix failure location provides the composite material with substantially increased ductility and energy absorption capacity after localized failure of the matrix. Pre-tensioning of shape-memory fibers impose sustained stresses on matrix which enhance the strength and energy absorption capacity of the composite material. The shape-memory fibers may be incorporated into a metal matrix at their end so that fibers pull out from the matrix under load and provide an energy-absorbing assembly.

    Abstract: Pulp fibers derived from wood or non-wood plants or recycled paper products, which are 0.1-30 mm long and about 0.001-0.1 mm in equivalent diameter, are individualized by mechanical action, blended with at least one of the dry ingredients of the cement-based material and then mixed with the remaining ingredients of conventional cement-based mixtures using conventional mixing equipment for effectively improving fresh and hardened properties of cement-based materials. Dispersion is achieved by individualizing the plant pulp fibers by mechanical action, and further by blending the individualized fibers with at least one of the dry ingredients of the mix and then with the remaining ingredients of the cement-based material, with fibers added at relatively low dosages of about 0.3-30 kg per cubic meter. The affinity of plant pulp fibers for water facilitates their dispersion in conventional cement-based mixtures. Fresh mixtures of cement-based materials incorporating the dispersed individualized plant pulp fibers possess desirable workability, resistance to segregation and bleeding, pumpability, finishability, and reduced rebound when pneumatically applied. Hardened cement-based materials incorporating the dispersed individualized plant pulp fibers provide improved crack resistance, toughness characteristics, impact resistance, fatigue life, abrasion resistance, and other mechanical, physical and durability characteristics. Plain and reinforced concrete and shotcrete as well as precast and cast-in-place concrete, plaster and stucco, mortar, grout and flowable fill are examples of cement-based materials which can benefit from the improvements in fresh and hardened material properties rendered by dispersed plant pulp fibers.

    Abstract: A CO.sub.2 pre-curing period is used prior to accelerated (steam or high-pressure steam) curing of cement and concrete products in order to: (1) prepare the products to withstand the high temperature and vapor pressure in the accelerated curing environment without microcracking and damage; and (2) incorporate the advantages of carbonation reactions in terms of dimensional stability, chemical stability, increased strength and hardness, and improved abrasion resistance into cement and concrete products without substantially modifying the conventional procedures of accelerated curing. Depending on the moisture content of the product, the invention may accomplish CO.sub.2 pre-curing by first drying the product (e.g. at slightly elevated temperature) and then expose it to a carbon dioxide-rich environment. Vigorous reactions of cement paste in the presence of carbon dioxide provide the products with enhanced strength, integrity and chemical and dimensional stability in a relatively short time period. Subsequent accelerated curing, even at reduced time periods (with less energy and cost consumptions) would produce higher performance characteristics than achievable with the conventional pre-setting period followed by accelerated curing of cement and concrete products.

    Abstract: Pulp fibers derived from wood or non-wood plants or recycled paper products are individualized and dispersed in water, and mixed into cement-based mixtures using conventional mixing procedures at relatively low dosages of about 0.3-30 kg of fiber per cubic meter of concrete. Once individualized, the affinity of plant pulp fibers for water facilitates their dispersion in normal cement-based mixtures. Fresh cement-based materials incorporating the dispersed individualized plant pulp fibers provide desirable workability, resistance to segregation and bleeding, pumpability, finishability, and reduced rebound when pneumatically applied. Hardened cement-based materials incorporating the dispersed individualized plant pulp fibers provide improvements in crack resistance, toughness, impact resistance, fatigue life, abrasion resistance, and other mechanical, physical and durability characteristics.

    Abstract: Method of joining articles using microscale brazing alloy particles reinforced with slender nanomaterials is described. Surface modified graphite nanomaterials were dispersed in a medium comprised of metal alloy particles, this dispersion was introduced at the interface between the joining articles followed by heating under ultra high vacuum. The nanomaterial-to-metal alloy surface contacts were enhanced by at least one of fusion, embedment and chemical reaction phenomena under high temperature and ultra high vacuum yielding true nanocomposite at the interface. The fusion, embedment and chemical reaction phenomena enhance at least one of the mechanical, electrical, thermal, durability and functional attributes of these contact points, which translate into improved properties of the joined article. The enhanced contact points enable effective use of the distinct qualities of nanomaterials towards development of joints which offer unique balances of strength, ductility, toughness, energy absorption, thermal stability, weathering resistance and other characteristics.
