All the chemical steps of the grafting reaction were monitored by chemical analysis and FTIR spectroscopy. The ...

Some resins contain poly(amido-amine)s or poly(amido-aminoacid)s crosslinked with 1,4-diaminobutane, others contain free NH2 or oxime groups on a tightly crosslinked structure. All the resins are highly swellable in sulphuric acid solution and, except for the resin containing oxime groups, degrade in a 7–20 days period. All the resins show capacity of retention for Ni2+ in 1.53 M sulphuric acid. The resins of the first group also show some selectivity towards several metal ions in this order: . The resin containing oxime as a donor group does not show such a selectivity, but does exhibit larger retention capacity. N.m.r. spectra indicate the presence of ion pairs in H2SO4 solution containing metal ions as M(HSO4)x − nn, vis. negative species, which are retained from the positively charged resins. For the resin containing oxime groups, the retention seems to occur via a coordination mechanism.

One of the most efficient retrofitting methods is the reinforcement method with external restraints using high quality materials. Based on previous research, the use of external restraints using high quality materials can be in the form of steel wire mesh and wire rope restraints, and high-quality fiber such as CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced polymer). In this research, a study will be conducted to determine the effect of CFRP confinement reinforcement on a concrete cylinder that will be modeled with finite element software. The dimensions of the concrete cylinder used have a height of 300 mm and a diameter of 150 mm. The concrete cylinder is reinforced with CFRP with a thickness variation of 0.
