Sevcan Barlas Özgüven is a researcher affiliated with Afyon Kocatepe University whose published work addresses cement-based materials, polymer composites, rheology, additive technologies and construction-oriented material performance. Her research record includes collaborative studies involving optical fiber reinforced polymer composites and advanced cementitious materials, providing a multidisciplinary basis for consideration within the field of fiber-reinforced polymer research.

Abstract

Sevcan Barlas Özgüven’s research profile demonstrates engagement with materials engineering and civil engineering applications, particularly the physical and mechanical characterization of polymer composites and the behavior of cement-based materials. Her recent co-authored study on optical fiber reinforced polymer composites examines physical characteristics and mechanical performance across different fiber contents and orientations. The work considers properties including water absorption, density, porosity, ultrasonic pulse velocity, tensile strength, impact behavior, compression and fracture-related performance. [1]

Keywords

Fiber-reinforced polymer; optical fiber composites; polymer composites; FRP in civil engineering; mechanical properties; cement-based materials; rheology; phase change materials; 3D printing; sustainable construction.

Introduction

Fiber-reinforced polymer systems are important engineering materials because reinforcement can modify stiffness, strength, fracture response and other functional characteristics of a polymer matrix. Özgüven’s research is relevant to this field through experimental investigation of optical fiber reinforced polymer composites, while her broader publication record connects composite materials with cementitious and construction technologies. The combination illustrates an interdisciplinary research direction spanning material characterization, structural materials and emerging construction methods.

Research Profile

The available publication record indicates a research profile centered on experimental materials evaluation. Topics represented include polymer composite performance, temperature-dependent cement mortar behavior, rheological properties of cement paste containing bio-oil additives, and extrudability of mortars developed for 3D printing. The Scopus profile supplied for the researcher lists four documents, five citations and an h-index of two.

Research Contributions

A principal contribution is the experimental investigation of optical fiber reinforced polyester composites, where fiber volume fraction and orientation are examined in relation to physical and mechanical behavior. The reported study found limited changes in selected physical properties while identifying improvements in impact strength, fracture toughness and overall mechanical performance with optical fiber incorporation. [1] Related research on nanoscale phase change materials investigated fresh and hardened mortar properties at different temperatures, linking rheological behavior with thermal effects. [2]
