Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are used in a variety of applications such as aircraft, automobiles, body armors, and the sports sector owing to their ultra-strong …
In this study, a thermal de-icing/anti-icing system for aircraft surfaces was designed using flexible graphene film/paper. It was placed between two Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic …
The development of high performance self-healing composites is still at an early stage due to the difficulty to integrate self-healing mechanisms in their structure by applying current …
To obtain cluster free homogeneous dispersion of carbon nanotubes in polymer matrix, variety of strategies were applied. In the present work, we report a systematic approach to …
This paper presents a first successful attempt to obtain a conductivity mapping at nanoscale level of a new multifunctional fire retardant graphene/polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane …
This proof-of-concept study demonstrates for the first time the fabrication of a multifunctional reinforcing grid-building material within a thermoelectric element generator (TEG) …
This study investigates the effects of layer offset on the mechanical strengths of 3D-printed mortar containing milled recycled carbon fibres (rCF). Compared to previous works, the …
The development of embedded sensors based on a structural thermosetting epoxy resin reinforced with 0.3 wt% of multi-walled (MW) carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for real-time …
Reversible Hydrogen Bonds (RHB) have been explored to confer self-healing function to multifunctional nanocomposites. This study has been carried out through a sequence of …
