Functionally graded multi-material thermoplastic architectures provide a promising route for tailoring viscoelastic energy dissipation through controlled phase contrast and interfacial interactions. However, rational selection of optimal material com...
Agricultural residues and agro-waste are increasingly recognized as valuable reinforcements for sustainable composite materials. Natural fibers derived from these biomasses offer biodegradability, low density, renewability, and potential environmenta...
In this study, the structure and mechanical properties of composites fabricated by polyetherimide film and powder lamination of carbon fabrics, as well as their impregnation with a polyetherimide/N-methylpyrrolidone solution at different contents, we...
Despite being fundamental to modern infrastructure, the cement and concrete industry is a major contributor to global carbon emissions, necessitating urgent decarbonisation strategies to mitigate climate change and achieve net-zero targets by 2050. T...
This work reveals the interlaminar fracture behavior and failure modes of carbon nanotube (CNT) film toughening composite laminates under Mode I and Mode II fractures. Experiment results display that the Mode I fracture toughness increases to its max...
Bone tissue plays a vital role in the human body and possesses intrinsic self-repair mechanisms; however, large defects or pathological fractures may exceed its natural healing capacity. Bone tissue engineering provides promising strategies to restor...
Electrically conductive photopolymers enable the fabrication of functional 3D-printed components with customized electrical properties, expanding additive manufacturing applications beyond traditional structural uses. This study reports the formulati...
Hybrid composite laminates combining pseudo-woven meso-architectured composite (MAC) and unidirectional (UD) sub-laminates manufactured via automated fiber (AFP) placement are attractive as they combine the increased toughness of MAC and higher stiff...
The global construction sector, a major consumer of virgin raw materials, is under increasing pressure to transition from a linear to a circular economy model. Marble waste, generated in large quantities during quarrying, cutting, and polishing opera...
A ternary CdS–MoS2–rGO photocathode was developed to enhance visible light-driven hydrogen evolution through interfacial heterostructure engineering. The composite was fabricated via a solution-based deposition method followed by thermal...
This study investigates the development of high-strength biofiber cement boards with enhanced thermal insulation properties by utilizing recycled biofibers derived from cement packaging bags, combined with a water-based adhesive to enhance the curing...
