For the purpose of reducing environmental and health risks in the production of fibre-reinforced polymers, biomolecules are increasingly examined as alternative resources. For example, amino acids can serve as curing agents for epoxy resins. However,...

Polylactic acid (PLA) and its composites with hydroxyapatite (HA) have been studied in the field of bone repair applications. The objective of this study was to evaluate the biocompatibility of PLA/HA at different concentrations and to analyze early...

This study aims to evaluate the influence of glass fibre (GF) type and content on the thermal, mechanical, and morphological properties of polyethylene terephthalate (PET)-based composites containing post-consumer PET flakes, intended for mouldings e...

Recently, significant attention has been paid to the use of multirole materials in additive manufacturing (AM). Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is an ideal candidate material that has been selected for examination because of its unique characteristics...

Composite electrolytes for applications in batteries and supercapacitors, i.e., in electrochemical energy technology, are gaining growing attention. In the absence of a commonly accepted definition, binary and ternary combinations of materials, e.g.,...

Injection moulding of liquid silicone rubber (LSR) requires reliable computer-aided engineering simulations to support process optimisation, which in turn depend on accurate material data. In this study, thermo-physical and kinetic properties of a hi...

The non-degradable polymers used in daily and commercial application are generally inexpensive; however, their excessive use leads to extensive environmental damage. In light of this, the demand for bio-derived, biocompatible, and biodegradable polym...

The transition toward sustainable panel technologies is driving intensive research on binderless boards and self-bonded lignocellulosic composites. Particleboard, an engineered wood composite made by hot pressing wood particles with synthetic adhesiv...

The degradation behavior and mechanism of perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) in the acidic Standard Clean 2 (SC2) solutions were studied to facilitate their application in semiconductor Radio Corporation of America (RCA) cleaning processes. The results indica...

This study focuses on the possibility of substituting the conventional carbon black filler N339 in a rubber compound, which also contains an energy-gypsum filler obtained as an industrial by-product, with an alternative carbon filler produced by pyro...
