Recently, two of our papers in BioFibers project have been published. Please check them out! One paper is on numerical analysis on the fracture response of BioFibers reinforced concrete, which has been published in the International Journal of Solids and Structures, and the other is on the development of BioFibers for self-healing purposes. These studies were collaborations between Dr. Farnam‘s lab (Advanced Infrastructure Lab, Drexel University), Dr. Sales‘s lab (Sales Lab, Drexel University), Dr. Shauer‘s lab (Natural materials and Polymer Processing, Drexel University), and our lab (MCMB Lab, Drexel University). Graduate and Undergraduate students, including Amir Sadighi and Mohammad Houshmand, were leading our effort. You can access the article through the link below.
