Thin-walled cellular structures of continuous fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites (CFRTPCs) have received much attention from both academics and industry due to their superior properties. Additive manufacturing provides an efficient solution fo...

In the present study, alginate–silver nanoparticle (Alg-AgNP) nanocomposite hydrogels possessing antibacterial activity were synthesized via an innovative route. A task-specific designed Natural Deep Eutectic Solvent (NADES), composed of glucos...

Composite fiber membranes fabricated via rotational-force spinning have become widely applied in biomedicine, energy, and environmental fields owing to their excellent properties. Improving their functional performance and fabrication quality has the...

High-viscosity aramid copolymer solutions are widely used in fiber manufacturing and advanced composite applications, but their elevated viscosity poses significant challenges for mixing and agitation processes. This study employs computational fluid...

Increasing concerns about environmental issues have recently intensified the search for sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics that minimize ecological impacts. This study evaluates the biodegradability, compostability, and ecotoxicity of...

Biomaterials are either cross-linked ionically, chemically, or physically, or they can be functionalized with amino acids to overcome inherent biocompatibility and stability limitations. Hydrogels for scaffold fabrication have been effectively utiliz...

To meet the requirement of thermal management of modern electronic devices, polymer composites with high thermal conductivity (TC) and dielectric performance are nowadays in urgent demand. Herein, a highly ordered continuous network of boron nitride...

The mechanical properties of palm leaf manuscripts, a unique organic cultural heritage material, are strongly influenced by environmental conditions that directly determine their physical stability and long-term preservation. This study systematicall...

A 3D printing filament was fabricated from poly(lactic acid) (PLA), cassava pulp (CP), and epoxy using a twin-screw extruder. Several bio-composites were synthesized by varying the amount of epoxy (0.5, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0, and 10.0 wt.%). The size of the...

Tissue engineering offers a promising solution by developing scaffolds that mimic the extracellular matrix and guide cellular growth and differentiation. Recent evidence suggests that scaffolds must provide not only biocompatibility and appropriate m...
