The durability of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) bars is typically evaluated using accelerated conditioning protocols (ACP), which are applied to bar samples, either directly exposed or embedded in small concrete specimens, under aggressive environme...

Bone tissue restoration requires biomaterials, which combine osteoinductivity and the capability to prevent surgical site infections. Magnesium-substituted biphasic calcium phosphate (Mg-BCP) represents a promising solution, as magnesium substitution...

Wood, as the oldest natural polymer composite material on Earth, holds significant importance in the era of carbon neutrality and serves as an irreplaceable core material in the furniture and construction industries. As a primary raw material for fur...

In the pursuit of low-impact and renewable construction materials, various by-products from agriculture, forestry, and the wood processing industry are being explored as potential bio-based infill materials for wall assemblies. This study presents an...

Polymer composites continue to redefine the boundaries of what materials can achieve [...]

The suspension polymerization process of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) production involves significant freshwater consumption alongside substantial wastewater emissions. Mass integration strategies have been used to address this problem, but only through...

This study experimentally investigates the use of stainless-steel woven wire mesh (SSWWM) as a patch material for repairing damaged glass fibre-reinforced (GFR) composite laminates. The effects of several factors on the three-point bending (3PB) beha...

Fiber-reinforced composites are widely used in aerospace and other fields due to their excellent specific strength, specific stiffness, and corrosion resistance, and further study of their failure criteria is essential to improve the accuracy and rel...

The chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC)/acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS) composite represents an important class of engineering thermoplastics, offering a strong balance of flame retardancy, chemical resistance, mechanical properti...

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become the dominant energy storage technology due to their versatility and superior performance across diverse applications. Silicon (Si) stands out as a particularly promising high-capacity anode material for next-g...
