Aeronautics research has continually sought to achieve the adaptability and morphing performance of avian wings, but in practice, wings of all scales continue to use the same hinged control-surface embodiment. Recent research into compliant…
Delamination is one of the major concerns for carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites. Improving fracture toughness reduces delamination and allows for the creation of multifunctional CFRP. In this study, polyaniline (PANI) coated…
In the quest to increase battery performance, nanostructuring battery electrodes gives access to architectures with electrical conductivity and solid-state diffusion regimes not accessible with traditional electrodes based on aggregated…
Layer-by-Layer (LbL) assembly was attractive as a versatile tool to address the flammability of cotton, while the washing fastness of LbL coating stayed an issue. Aiming to tackle this issue, LbL layers consisted of phenylphosphonic acid…
In this paper, the impact behaviour of composite laminates is investigated, and their potential for ballistic protection assessed, as a function of the reinforcing materials and structures for three representative fibre-reinforced epoxy…
Daytime radiative cooling has attracted considerable attention recently due to its tremendous potential for passively exploiting the coldness of deep-sky as clean and renewable energy. Many advanced materials with novel photonic…
The introduction of graphene-related materials (GRMs) in carbon fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRP) has been proved to enhance their mechanical and electrical properties. However, methodologies to produce the 3-phase materials (multiscale…
Energy absorbing materials, like foams used in protective equipment, are able to undergo large deformations under low stresses, reducing the incoming stress wave below an injury or damage threshold. They are typically effective in absorbing…
Polymer composites were manufactured using biocarbon particles as a reinforcing filler to improve the mechanical and thermal properties. However, a detailed examination of dispersion and agglomeration of filler is essential to correlate the…

Polymer matrix composites exhibit remarkable lightweight and high strength properties that make them attractive for aerospace applications. Constituents' materials such as advanced polymers and fibers or fillers with their hierarchical…
Stereolithography (SLA) and Tailored Fiber Placement (TFP) were combined to fabricate shape memory alloy hybrid composites (SMAHC) featuring a three-layer structure and exhibiting out of plane bending deformation when activated, in a fully…
With the ever-increasing threat of ballistic impact, it is crucial to provide a solution that is not only effective but also economical. A majority of studies contribute toward alternatives to monolithic structures by incorporating…
The compressive strength of unidirectional fiber composites in the form of Kevlar yarn with a thin outer layer of graphene was investigated and modeled. Such fiber structure may be fabricated by using a strong chemical bond between Kevlar…
We present experimental evidence for an anomalous decrease in stiffness in a fiber-reinforced polymer composite because of the embedded fiber. A shell with carbon fiber showed about 20% less stiffness and 100% more strength under…
The reliable power system operation is a major goal for electric utilities, which requires the accurate reliability forecasting to minimize the duration of power interruptions. Since weather conditions are usually the leading causes for…
Surface plasmons have attracted growing interest from the photonics community due to their inherent ability to controllably confine light below the diffraction limit and their direct application in trapping and transporting matter at the…
Over the ages, efforts have been made to use composite design to reinforce metals and alloys in order to increase their strength and modulus. On the other hand, nature herself improves the strength, ductility, stiffness and toughness of…
