Experimental evidence shows that some nanocomposites with special matrices and filler
materials may achieve significant and simultaneous improvements in stiffness, fracture …

This review summarizes recent work on the polymer-assisted fabrication of well-defined
inorganic and organic nanoparticles with controlled shape, size, and functional properties …

We have proposed in 1992 that nanoparticles of layered compounds will be unstable
against folding and close into fullerene-like structures and nanotubes (IF). Nanotubes and …

Polyetherketones, PEKs, are an important family of high-performance thermoplastic
materials that display a unique combination of toughness, stiffness, thermooxidative stability …

The mechanical properties of materials and particularly the strength are greatly affected by
the presence of defects; therefore, the theoretical strength (≈ 10% of the Young's modulus) …

We report a simple and mass-scalable approach for thin MoS2 films via RF sputtering
combined with the post-deposition annealing process. We have prepared as-sputtered film …

Modern military operations, technology-driven war tactics, and current on-street weapons
and ammunition necessitate the development of advanced ballistic protection body armor …

Emerging two-dimensional (2D) materials such as transition metal dichalcogenides offer
unique and hitherto unavailable opportunities to tailor the mechanical, thermal, electronic …

Polymer/inorganic nanoparticle nanocomposites have garnered considerable academic and
industrial interest over recent decades in the development of advanced materials for a wide …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) materials are promising candidates in wide applications
