In this study, we systematically study the efficient production method and electrochemical characteristics of activated carbons (AC) derived from rice husk (RH) and walnut shell (WS). In particular, the effectiveness of physical activation using carb...

Natural and synthetic fibers offer a multitude of advantages within the automotive sector, primarily due to their lightweight properties, including appealing characteristics such as adequate mechanical strength, low density, improved acoustic–t...

This study used finite element analysis (FEA) to model the effects of adhesive Z-connections on the thickness swelling of laminated wood composites exposed to water. We hypothesized that the area density, diameter, and spatial distribution of adhesiv...

Off-road racing vehicles require protection on the underside of their chassis in order to protect vital components from impact damage. The use of composites in thin laminate form to achieve this protection is widespread, although failure due to impac...

Carbon nanomaterials are an emerging class of nano-reinforcements to substitute for metal-based nanomaterials in polymer matrices. These metal-free nano-reinforcement materials exhibit a high surface area, thermal stability, and a sustainable nature....

Because of the expensive nature of sensors used to detect heavy metals and the severe health risks associated with certain heavy metals, there is a pressing need to develop cost-effective materials that are highly efficient in detecting these metals....

An estimate of the effect of initial damage, such as delamination in the area of a structural hole, on the static and fatigue strength of polymer composite material (PCM) based on computational mechanics methods is presented. Calculation for durabili...

The development of novel embedded sensors for structural health monitoring (SHM) is crucial to provide real-time assessments of composite structures, ensuring safety, and prolonging their service life. Early damage diagnostics through advanced sensor...

The oxidation states of atoms in CuCr1-xLaxS2 (x = 0–0.03) solid solutions were determined using the analysis of Cu2p, Cr2p, S2p, and La3d core level binding energy. The cationic substitution did not significantly affect the charge distribution...

UV-light-assisted additive manufacturing (AM) technologies require bio-based resins that can compete with commercial petroleum-based ones to enable a more sustainable future. This research proposes a significantly improved vegetable oil-based resin r...
