Due to the exceptional mechanical properties, epoxy-based composites have been widely
applied as critical aerospace components, semiconductor packaging materials, and …

The research on lightweight epoxy foams is of great significance to weight reduction for
aerospace, aviation, shipbuilding, high-speed railway, and other fields. In this study, a novel …

In this work, a novel nanocomposite of highly-dispersed MoS2 nanosheets supported on
alkali-activated halloysite nanotubes (a-HNTs) was fabricated via a simple hydrothermal …

Purpose This study aims to deal with developing composite filaments and investigating the
tribological behavior of additively manufactured syntactic foam composites. The primary …

Marine biofouling is an age-old problem with a broad impact in many marine activities. The
development of environmentally friendly and long-term marine antifouling coatings remains …

The nickel thin-walled hollow spheres (NHS) epoxy syntactic foam was fabricated by the
infiltration method. The crystal structure and grain size of the NHS were quantitatively …

Syntactic foam composite (SFC) has the potential to substitute the conventional material
used in damage-tolerance, thermal insulation, and weight-sensitive applications such as …

Abstract Poly (dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS) is an important class of elastomers with diverse
applications. However, it lacks the compressive strength required in many engineering …

In this paper, we report the effect of introducing molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nano-
platelets: a two-dimensional metal chalcogenide, on the mechanical properties of hollow …

Silica fume, a by-product obtained during the smelting process of silicon and ferrosilicon
alloys, is widely used as a filler material in concrete for construction purposes. This study …
