Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are increasingly used in the aerospace industry because of their robust mechanical properties and strength to weight ratio. A significant drawback of CFRPs is their resistance to formability when drawing conti...

Variation of light absorption, mainly the shift and shape of the absorption edge, are two promising approaches aimed at understanding the fundamental processes of optical transitions in crystalline and amorphous materials. This allows us to better un...

This research paper focuses on investigating the thermal conductivity behavior of polymer matrix composite materials, specifically those composed of PSU and BaTiO3, both experimentally and numerically. The thermal conductivity of composites has been...

In this study, carbide-forming metallic additives (W, Mo, Cr, Ti) were introduced into the copper matrix to improve the wettability of diamond particles in the copper–diamond composites. The samples were prepared by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS)...

Titanium alloys are prone to increased oxidation rates when exposed to higher temperatures during application. As a result, the components suffer mechanical failure due to the formation of the alpha-case layer at 500 °C. To improve its corrosion...

Recently, much research has investigated nanocomposites and their properties for the development of energy storage systems. Supercapacitor performance is usually enhanced by the use of porous electrode structures, which produce a larger surface area...

The continuous depletion of natural resources coupled with plastics pollution, has prompted the scientific community to explore alternative biobased and/or biodegradable polymers. Poly(ethylene succinate) (PESu) is a promising substitute due to its h...

Polymer–matrix composites (PMCs) filled with graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) are ultralightweight combined with the ability to perform a wide range of functions. These materials are interesting for many applications in space environments, includin...

Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, biomedical waste management has overwhelmed both developed and developing nations. It is now a critical issue that has to be addressed with minimal possible adverse impact on the environment. This study introduced a tech...

In the life cycle of a material, there will be either chemical or physical change due to varying environmental factors such as biological activity, light, heat, moisture, and chemical conditions. This process leads to polymer property change as perta...
