Food packaging plays an imperative role in the food processing sector by safeguarding foods from their point of harvesting until the moment of consumption. In recent years, biopolymers have attracted the attention of the scientific community as an al...

Carbon fibers (CFs) have received tremendous attention since their discovery in the 1860s due to their unique properties, including outstanding mechanical properties, low density, excellent chemical resistance, good thermal conductivity, etc [...]

The potential of electrically conductive graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs)/epoxy, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNCTs)/epoxy and hybrid GNPs-MWCNTs/epoxy nanocomposites as adhesives for out-of-autoclave (OoA) and in-the-field CFRP repair via Joule heat...

Biocomposite materials are widely implemented in various applications in clinical dentistry and orthopedics since it is possible to combine multiple materials by relying on their compatibility. Ceramic-based materials have osteogenic and osteoconduct...

To reduce car body weight, multi-material structures with lightweight materials such as carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRPs) and aluminum alloys (Als) are used to replace parts of steel components, and joining technologies for such dissimilar mat...

A multidisciplinary design optimisation (MDO) study of a hybrid rocket launcher is presented, with a focus on quantifying the impact of using composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) as the oxidiser tank. The rocket hybrid propulsion system (RH...

In order to address the anti-ablation of carbon/carbon (C/C) composites, SiC nanowires (SiCnws) network-modified C/C-ZrB2-ZrC-SiC composites were prepared through the one-step precursor conversion method. With an optimized B-Si-Zr sol-precursor, unif...

This research centered on enhancing the mechanical properties of sustainable composite materials made from short flax fibers. Challenges associated with fiber–matrix adhesion and moisture absorption were systematically addressed. A water–...

This article presents a concept, materials, and methods to devise a Bond Quality Index (BQI) for assessing composite bond quality, approximately correlating to the respective bond strength. Interface bonding is the common mechanism to join two compos...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the moisture and flammability characteristics of lightweight concrete with different aggregates and different amounts of cement according to different criteria. The moisture properties of the specimens were e...
