An approach for the formation of intermetallic coatings on the titanium surface based on titanium aluminides is proposed. The approach involves producing a layered steel-aluminum-titanium metal composite via explosive welding, followed by heat treatm...

This study investigates the cracking behavior of high-performance calcium oxide-activated concrete incorporating basalt and synthetic macro fibers under compressive and flexural loading. Acoustic emission (AE) monitoring was employed to capture real-...

Despite the strength and ductility of steel reinforcing bars, their susceptibility to corrosion can limit the long-term durability of reinforced concrete structures. Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing bars made with a thermosetting matrix off...

This research work focused on the development of an adsorbent biocomposite material based on polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and cellulose acetate derived from sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) fibre, through cellulose acetylation. The resulting material r...

The report of the first room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconductivity in copper-doped lead apatite Pb10−xCux(PO4)6O has attracted lots of attention. However, subsequent studies revealed the presence of numerous impurity phases in the pol...

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is a widely used polymer known for its excellent mechanical properties and chemical resistance. This study investigated the impact of incorporating varying percentages of nano-graphene particles (NGP) into HDPE on its...

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) have attracted significant interest as hybrid reinforcements in epoxy (Ep) composites for enhancing mechanical performance in structural applications, such as aerospace and automotive. These 1...

Polyimide (PI), owing to its high heat resistance and low density, is often employed as a substitute for metallic materials in high-temperature environments, such as aircraft engines, bearings, and gears. However, the relatively high friction coeffic...

This study aimed to optimize the performance of pervious concrete (PC) while promoting sustainability using recycled concrete aggregates (RCAs), styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) waste, and silica fume (SF). The mixtures were developed using the Taguchi...

In this work, a finite element modelling methodology is presented for the prediction of the bending behaviour of a glass fibre-reinforced elastomer composite with embedded shape memory alloy (SMA) wire actuators. Three configurations of a multi-layer...
