Optical transparency is an important property for a material, especially in certain fields like
packaging, glazing, and displays. Existing commercial transparent polymeric materials are …

The continually expanding use of plastic throughout our world, along with the considerable
increase in agricultural productivity, has resulted in a worrying increase in global waste and …

This paper presents an investigation into the use of newly pultruded glass-fibre reinforced
polypropylene (GFRPP) bars as reinforcement in concrete structures for marine applications …

There is an increasing demand for soft actuators because of their importance in soft robotics,
artificial muscles, biomimetic devices, and beyond. However, the development of soft …

Natural composites can be fabricated through reinforcing either synthetic or bio-based
polymers with hydrophilic natural fibers. Ultimate moisture absorption resistance at the fiber …

Recently, researchers and scientists are trying to overcome the environmental burden by
using biocomposites in engineering applications as far as possible. The main source of …

In this study we evaluated the tribological performance of polypropylene composites with
wood-flour fillers obtained as a by-product from the wood-processing industry, which were …

Mycelium-based composites (MBCs) are characterized as biodegradable materials derived
from fungal species. These composites can be employed across a range of industrial …

This work explores a type of composite called thermoplastic polymer-fiber-reinforced
polymers (PFRPs), often referred to as self-reinforced composites (SRCs). A representative …

Lightweight materials are becoming important in many industries, such as automotive,
