In recent years, Ultra High-Performance Fiber-Reinforced Concretes (UHPFRCs) have gained significant attention for their applications in structural components, particularly for improving impact resistance and post-cracking behavior. This study explor...
Interface shear transfer (IST) is a critical mechanism governing composite action in reinforced concrete (RC) structures. While the IST behavior in steel-RC is well established, its application to glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP)-RC remains unce...
The demand for lower-impact materials in mobility has increased interest in the lightweight composite structures for electric vehicles (EVs). This study presents an extended and revised dataset for biaxial non-crimp fabric (NCF) composite laminates i...
The journal retracts the article titled “Enhancing the Thermal Comfort of Woven Fabrics and Mechanical Properties of Fiber-Reinforced Composites Using Multiple Weave Structures” [...]
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a powerful tool for machine-learning-based forecasting from available data. This study evaluates several artificial neural network (ANN) architectures and the traditional multiple linear regression (MLR) method...
There is growing concern about the ubiquitous presence of microfibers in waterways, atmosphere, and soil. Thus, the study of microfibers is of interest. Presently, there is no standard method for quantifying microfibers, so the objective of the curre...
Cashmere is recognized as one of the most valuable natural fibers due to its softness, fineness, and valuable properties. However, the production of fine cashmere yarns remains technically challenging due to the intrinsic variability of fiber charact...
The limited regenerative capacity of articular cartilage (AC) following injury has led to a high prevalence of degenerative AC-related disorders, including osteoarthritis (OA). Current clinical treatments for OA have failed to halt disease progressio...
The demand for materials that can operate reliably in extreme environments, including rocket nozzles, re-entry heat shields, sharp leading edges, high-velocity impact, and high-temperature energy systems, continue to drive advances in thermal–s...
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) remain a significant global challenge, affecting approximately 7% of patients in developed countries and over 10% in developing regions, according to the World Health Organization. Medical textiles, particularl...
Non-textile application of silk fiber is the major focus of the present scientific communities. Characteristics, i.e., structural, mechanical, are the key advantages of silk protein to make it promising candidates for its variable application. Keepin...
This study explores the influence of anion hydrogen-bond basicity, quantified by the Kamlet–Taft β parameter, on cellulose dissolution in imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs). A series of ILs sharing the common cation 1-benzyl-3-methylimi...
This research aims to study the compressive behavior of concrete with partial replacement of fine aggregate by recycled rubber. In addition, the mechanical capacity of these concretes will be analyzed when reinforced by carbon fibers (CFRP) and basal...
Natural fibers are among the most extensively exploited bio-based materials in industry due to their abundance, affordability, and biodegradability. However, their intrinsic properties often require improvement through chemical, mechanical, or enzyma...
Polyester resin biocomposites containing biochar have attracted attention for improving mechanical strength and thermal stability while promoting sustainability. The pyrolysis temperature of biochar and its proportion in the polymer matrix are key fa...
Fibre properties significantly influence paper quality. This study investigates fibre property development along an industrial pulp production line, analysing morphological distributions and rheological behaviour to enhance refining performance indic...
The global expansion of wind energy increases the need for sustainable recycling strategies for glass fiber-reinforced plastic (GFRP) from end-of-life wind turbine blades (WTB). Mechanical recycling is currently the most economically and ecologically...
Fuel vapor can be ignited by lightning through various means, particularly through hot spot formation on fuel tank skins. The wing fuel tank cover and its surrounding outer plates together form part of the aerodynamic shape of an aircraft. The lightn...
The paper deals with the concept of how to regulate structure formation in the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between the Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) matrix and basalt to ensure the durability of basalt fiber-reinforced concretes. It has been d...
