Radiation shielding in medical settings has traditionally relied on fixed structural models, with thicknesses and material composition determined by their shielding effect against direct X-rays. However, clinical practice increasingly demands lightwe...

Composite structures are generally more susceptible to impact damage than non-composite structures, and early identification of damage is the primary goal of structural health monitoring (SHM). If such damage remains undetected or reaches a critical...

The recycling and reuse of thermoset composite materials present considerable challenges due to the cross-linked network formed during the curing process. The growing implementation of these materials in various industries, such as automotive and win...

Background: Soft actuation relies on materials that are lightweight, flexible, and responsive to external stimuli. In biomedical applications, miniaturization and biocompatibility are key requirements for developing smart devices. Thermoplastic polyu...

This preliminary study investigates a direct, non-delaminated route to valorize multilayer pharmaceutical sachet offcuts (comprising paper/plastic/aluminum) as partial substitutes for wood fiber in wood-based panels. Milled offcuts were incorporated...

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is a widely used polymer that accumulates in the environment due to its low degradability, requiring efficient recycling strategies. In this study, CaO filler derived from calcium carbide slag (CS) waste was used fo...

Natural resources, such as wood components (cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin) and plant oils, have drawn significant interest for the development of polymeric biocomposites. Despite some advantages of soybean hull (SH) and soybean meal (SM), such...

This study introduces a comprehensive three-dimensional micromechanical framework to capture the nonlinear mechanical behavior of diverse composite materials, including coupled elastic degradation, inelastic strain evolution, and phenomenological fai...

This study investigates the quasi-static axial crushing behaviour of carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) tubes with variations incorporating polyurethane foam (PU) and aluminium tubes. Six different composite configurations were fabricated, includ...

Injection composites based on mineral binders are widely used for soil stabilization, using jet grouting technology to solve various geotechnical problems. Cement, which contains toxic components and worsens the ecology of the environment, is typical...
