The results of investigation of the cement composites modified with 5% of silica-magnetite nanostructures of the core-shell type are presented in the paper. The nanoindentation method employing three-sided pyramidal Berkovich indenter was used in the research. The mechanical properties and microstructure of the modified cement composites were evaluated on the basis of the values of hardness and indentation modulus measured inside the cement matrix and in the aggregate-paste interfacial zone. The results were compared with those obtained for the reference composites without nanostructures. The positive influence of the presence of silica-magnetite nanoparticles on the tested properties was found out.

Nanowires (NWs) have been used increasingly in practice due to their outstanding mechanical, physical, and chemical properties. In this paper, we use the molecular dynamics (MD) method to investigate the mechanical properties of NWs (Si/Ge, Ge/Si) with a core-shell structure under the axial tensile strain along the <100>/{100} direction. Our results show that the strength and elastic modulus of Ge/Si and Si/Ge NWs depend on the composition and size of the core/shell crosssection. The strength and strain of Ge/Si NW decrease with increasing the size of the core crosssection because of the lattice mismatch between two layers of core/shell materials. The elastic modulus of Ge/Si NWs increases with the increasing the size of the core cross-section, while the elastic modulus of the Si/Ge NW decreases. In addition, the theoretical strength and elastic modulus of Ge/Si NWs reduce with the growth of the temperature. Furthermore, we also investigate the effect of strain rate on the mechanical properties of the Ge/Si NWs. The obtained results of the study provide the intrinsic properties of the core-shell NWs and also help in the design and fabrication of electronic and optical devices based on the Ge/Si NWs.

<p>Research work of polymer nanocomposites in high voltage insulator becomes interest nowadays. Polymer based and nanofillers are the core components in polymer nanocomposites. By adding such a big amount of nanofiller it would enhance the electrical and mechanical properties of polymers.  However as for today, a little percentage of nanofiller concentration could dramatically enhanced the properties of the polymeric material. Recent research of graphene oxide (GO) nanofiller has brought to this project interest.  This paper presents several methods that have been published to development PMMA (poly methyl methacrylate)/GO nanocomposites and a simulation of PMMA/GO in order to investigate the potential distribution. </p>

ABSTRACTThe mechanical properties of Si/Ge core-shell nanowires under a unixial tension are studied using molecular-dynamics simulation. The effects of anisotropy and the fraction of the core atoms on the Young's moduli of the core-shell nanowires are examined. The values of their Young's moduli deviate from those calculated using Vegard's law. Single atom chains are formed at the final stages of elongation of the nanowires.

The core-shell acrylic emulsion was synthesized,with P(MMA/BA) as core,and with P(2-EHA/MBA/HPA) as shell. The influence of the mass ratio of core/shell on mechanical properties was investigated in detail. The high elongation at break proved that the emulsion may have a potential application in coating industry, afforded by HPA as functional monomer. However, when the amount of HPA exceeds 1.5 wt. % to the total monomers, the emulsion will become unstable and precipitation occurs.
