Cement-based thermoelectric materials are gaining popularity among materials scientists due to their robust mechanical characteristics and suitability for thermal energy harvesting in building applications. However, despite advancements in the develo...

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites are exposed to severe environmental conditions throughout their intended lifespan. It is essential to investigate how they age when exposed to cold and hot water to increase the durability of fiber-reinforced polym...

Using the Bridgman technique, GaSe single crystals were obtained which were mechanically split into plane-parallel plates with a wide range of thicknesses. By heat treatment in air at 820 °C and 900 °C, for 30 min and 6 h, micro- and nanocomp...

Heavy metal contamination of water is a critical environmental problem due to its toxicity and persistence in ecosystems. In this study, magnetic hydrogel spheres composed of carboxymethylated starch modified with poly(1-vinylimidazole) (CMS-g-PVI) a...

This study provides insights into the stabilization effects of certain oxides (CeO2, Cr2O3, Cd2O3, In2O3, MnO2, MgO, Nd2O3, and Pr2O3) in styrene–isoprene–styrene triblock copolymers with respect to neat materials. This study was performe...

This study presents the development of a composite film based on low-pressure polyethylene (LPPE) and sunflower husk. The sunflower husk was pretreated with a 4% NaOH solution. Composite films with a thickness of 200 ± 0.20 µm were obtai...

Metallic thin-walled porous tubes have been widely applied in energy absorption fields due to their unique mechanical properties. Inspired by foam-filled structures, liquid crystal elastomers as a new category of metamaterials were filled in metallic...

Probiotics have gained prominence and consumer appreciation due to their potential health benefits. However, maintaining their viability and stability during gastric transit remains a challenge. This study aims to enhance the viability of microencaps...

In this study, the effects of exposure to seawater on the material properties of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) and carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) samples were investigated. The samples were stored in seawater with a salinity of 3.3&nd...

This study examines the intrinsic optical enhancements of carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) achieved through the integration of magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles, as well as Mg/MgO and titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin films onto carbon fibers. I...
