Due to their improved recyclability, thermoplastic composites (TPCs) are increasing their application across industries. The current work deals with the dimensioning, manufacturing, and characterisation of vacuum-infused TPCs cured at RT and made of...

The need for materials with advanced properties finds the candidates among modified polymers—for instance, polymer composites. Furthermore, the stated environmental concerns dictate the use of biodegradable polymers. This work studies the prope...

In the grinding process, acceleration signals in both the time and frequency domains are valuable for monitoring and controlling vibration patterns, as factors such as rotational speed and the grinding head design significantly influence machining qu...

Background: ceramic tile wastewater slurry contains a large amount of fine kaolinite particles acting as a matrix for mineral filler particles of quartz and mullite. Reinforcing it with natural fibers increases its compression strength. A novel appro...

The surface qualities of CAD/CAM multi-layered ceramic and hybrid ceramic materials are critical for superior aesthetics and may be impaired by the application of home bleaching. The aim of this study was to assess how home bleaching affects the surf...

Wind-turbine blades pose significant disposal challenges in the wind-energy sector due to the increasing demand for wind farms. Therefore, this study researched the revaluation of Raw-Crushed Wind-Turbine Blade (RCWTB), obtained through a non-selecti...

This study investigates the flexural behavior of three sandwich panels composed of an agglomerated cork core and skins made up of cross-ply [0,90]2 flax or glass layers with areal densities of 100 and 300 g/m2. They are designated by SF100, SF300, an...

This paper explores the fatigue behaviour and robustness of tiled web-core sandwich panels used in glass fibre-reinforced polymer bridges, which are increasingly favoured for their lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties. Fatigue tests are con...

Electromagnetic wave-absorbing materials (EMAMs) and structures are crucial in aerospace and electronic communications due to their ability to absorb electromagnetic waves. The development of materials that are lightweight, sustainable, and cost-effe...

Ultrasonic crack detection is one of the effective non-destructive methods of structural health monitoring (SHM) of buildings and structures. Despite its widespread use, crack detection in porous and heterogeneous composite building materials is an i...
