Abstract
In this paper we mainly focus on using nanoplatelet reinforced polymers using exfoliated graphene nano platelets (XGnP) from XG-Sciences and Polyhedral Oligomeric Silsesquioxane (POSS) retrofitting masonry walls against blast loadings. The polymer used in polyurea Line-XS 350 from Protective Coatings. Nanoplatelet reinforced polymers are used because they have great potential to be low cost, high performance structural materials. It was observed that POSS enhanced polyurea significantly enhances the performance of masonry walls. On the other hand, minor improvement was observed for the case of polyurea enhanced with graphene platelets.
