Several nanocomposites were prepared by extrusion from a commercial metallocene-type isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and different amounts of two types of graphene (G) nanofibers: ones with a high specific surface, named GHS, and the others with a low...

Fiber factor strongly influences the flexural properties of fiber-reinforced composites. Theoretically, strong fiber-matrix bonds combined with long fibers can produce high composite strength, while short fibers influence the ductility of the composi...

Due to the abrasive nature of the material, the conventional machining of CFRP composites is typically characterised by high mechanical forces and poor tool life, which can have a detrimental effect on workpiece surface quality, mechanical properties...

The MgO nanolayer effect on the microstructure and magnetic characterizations added into Fe/Pt stacked films directly deposited onto MgO (001) single-crystal substrates at the reduced temperature of 380 °C using electron-beam technology was inves...

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) rods are advanced composite materials with high strength, light weight, non-corrosive properties, and superior durability properties. Under severe environmental conditions, for concrete structures, the use of glass-fibe...

A novel negative thermal expansion (NTE) material composed of Sm0.85Sr0.15MnO3-δ was synthesized using the solid-state method. By allowing Sr2+ to partially replace Sm3+ in SmMnO3, the ceramic material Sm0.85Sr0.15MnO3-δ exhibits NTE prop...

Recent research on biodegradable magnesium-based implants has been focusing on increasing their mechanical strength and controlling their corrosion rate. One promising approach to significantly improve the mechanical properties of magnesium is the ad...

The aim of this paper is to determine the heat transfer properties of biaxial carbon fabrics of different architectures, including non-crimp stitch bonded fabrics, plain, twill and satin woven fabrics. The specific heat capacity was determined via DS...

A suitable functionalization of graphene and its derivatives can further enhance the material properties of nanocomposites. In contrast to chemical functionalization methods that have been extensively researched, functionalization by plasma treatment...

Spiral steel cables feature complex deformation behavior due to their wound geometry. In applications where the cables are used to reinforce rubber components, modeling the cables is not trivial, because the cable’s outer surface must be connec...
