The results indicate that BFRP anchor bolts, designed based on the principle of equal strength replacement between bolt tensile strength and the bonding strength of the first interface, can meet the safety standards required for slope engineering. During the stable phase of the slope, the mechanical behavior and deformation characteristics of BFRP anchor bolts are comparable to those of steel anchor bolts, with the axial force of BFRP bolts being 1/3 to 1/4 lower than the designed value. When the slope enters the accelerated creep stage, the axial force of steel anchor bolts exceeds the designed value by 40 %, while the axial force of BFRP bolts remains at only 2/3 of that of steel bolts. The failure mechanisms of the BFRP bolt-anchorage system primarily involve shear failure at the bolt-mortar interface and pullout failure of the bolt body, which are attributed to the cumulative damage of the polymer material. Based on the experimental findings, it is recommended that the minimum tensile safety factor for BFRP bars used in temporary slope support should be set at 1.26. This study enhances the understanding of BFRP anchorage systems in clay soil environments and provides valuable insights for the design and construction of infrastructure projects in similar geological conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20628,"journal":{"name":"Polymer Testing","volume":"147 ","pages":"Article 108822"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143873517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With abundant hydroxyl groups, tannic acid (TA) is renowned for its adhesion to skin in moist environments, facilitated by coordination bonds with metal ions such as Fe<sup>3+</sup>. However, TA's radical scavenging effect complicates polymerization by UV or thermal curing, leading prior studies to adopt time-intensive, costly approaches, such as post-polymerization soaking or pre-formed polymers. Here, we used E-beam irradiation for rapid, one-pot in situ polymerization from a precursor solution of 2-Acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid sodium salt (AMPSs), TA, and Fe ions, incorporating all components in a single step. We report the successful synthesis of a multifunctional hydrogel with exceptional skin adhesion, high ionic conductivity, strong mechanical strength, excellent recovery, and self-healing properties, all achieved through a simple one-pot electron beam curing method in just 13.89 s. This remarkable curing time contrasts with the lengthy durations (1–8 h) of conventional TA-incorporating methods, eliminating the need for heat or UV initiators. The resulting P(AMPSs-TA-Fe) hydrogel exhibited high skin adhesion (154.53 N/m) due to TA-Fe coordination and excellent ionic conductivity (2.71 S/m) from AMPSs, Fe<sup>3+</sup> ions, and TA's ion-bridging effect. The reversible TA-Fe bonding also imparted strong fatigue resistance (1.32 kJ/m<sup>3</sup> at 200 % strain) and self-healing, enabling conductivity recovery within 2.4 s after damage.

Optical microscopy is used to analyse the exposed seals' morphological changes, while IR microscopy is utilised to investigate the underlying chemical degradation mechanisms of both elastomers. Findings suggest that FKM's degradation arises from dehydrofluorination of the polymer, followed by chain scission and backbone cleavage as a result of the oxidation of newly formed C=C double bonds. FFKM's degradation is primarily associated with chain scission, but there is also indication that post-curing processes may occur during material ageing. Furthermore, hardness, equilibrium compression set (CS), continuous compression stress relaxation (CSR) and leakage rate tests are used to evaluate changes in the mechanical properties and sealing performance of the elastomers. Equilibrium CS data is extrapolated using time-temperature shifts (TTS) and used to derive an end-of-life criterion of 75 % equilibrium CS, which correlates to leakage rates higher than a predetermined threshold.
