Fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites generally have a layered architecture and are
commonly manufactured with thermosetting resins—making them susceptible to interlaminar …

A novel hyperbranched polymeric ionic liquid (HBP-AMIM+ PF6−) was explored via a thiol-
ene click reaction using thiol-ended hyperbranched polyesters (THBP) and 1-allyl-3 …

The unremitting pursuit of high-performance and multifunctional materials has consistently
propelled modern industries forward, stimulating research and motivating progress in …

In this study, carbon fiber/epoxy (CF/EP) composites were interleaved with polyamide-6, 6
(PA 66) nonwoven veils at two different areal weight densities (17 and 50 gsm) to improve …

In this study, a phase inversion approach was employed to fabricate four different
thicknesses (20 μm to 100 μm) of polyethersulfone (PES) porous films with visible holes (1 …

Laminar carbon fibre composites with weak ply interfaces were toughened with ultra-thin
(less than 20 μm) un-bonded non-woven Short Aramid Fibre (SAF) veils in the form of home …

Continuous carbon fiber (CCF) reinforced polymeric composites have attracted significant
attention in the aeronautic and automobile industries. In this study, novel CCF/poly (ether …

The weakness of easy delamination for the laminated composites always limits their wide
application. In this work, the poly (phthalazinone ether nitrile ketone)(PPENK) multi-scale …

Interleaving heavy micro-fibre veils, commonly used to improve interlaminar fracture
toughness, severely compromises tensile and compressive properties. To reduce the trade …

To improve the damage resistance and tolerance of thin laminates manufactured with thin-
ply non-crimp-fabrics, we interleaved non-woven veils into the interlaminar regions (two …
