Feasibility of elastomeric composites as alternative materials for marine applications: A compendious review on their properties and opportunities
(2022-05-18)
The term elastomer is a curtailment of two words, which are elastic and polymers. Accordingly, elastomers are polymer materials with elasticity. The significant challenges hindering the development of materials for naval ...
4D printing: Pragmatic progression in biofabrication
(2022-04-15)
Progress in three-dimensional (3D) printing of shape memory polymers (SMPs) has produced dynamic and 3Dprinted assemblies that can be shaped fast and modified for specific and multifaceted designs. Technology, biochemistry, ...
Effects of Moisture Absorption and Thickness Swelling Behaviors on Mechanical Performances of Carica Papaya Fiber Reinforced Polymeric Composites
(2022-04-04)
In this study, composite materials were made from Carica papaya fibers (CPFs), as a reinforcing element in polypropylene (PP), polyester (P) and epoxy (E) matrices, using compression molding technique. Experiments were ...
Epoxy/glass syntactic foams for structural and functional application - A review
(2022-03-29)
Composite materials have improved the fields of aerospace, marine and defence by supporting the manufacturing of several structures owing to their superior properties. The specific class of composite materials known as ...
Composites as candidate materials for photovoltaic cells
(2022-03-07)
Composites are two or more materials with different propertiesjoined together to manufacture a new material. The resulting physicaland chemical properties of each constituent new materialremain distinct with enhanced ...

(2022-01-16)
In the present work, the authors prepared nanocomposite cotton gauze cloth (NCGC) by in situ generating the nanoparticles of silver (ANPs) and copper (CuNPs) and their binary metallic nanoparticles (BMNPs) using aqueous ...
Applicability of angular orientations of gating designs to quality of sand casting components using two-cavity mould set-up.
(2021-10-28)
This study aimed to examine the integrity of two-cavity sand casting products in relation to the angular orientation of gating design. Two angular orientations of 60 and 45 were investigated experimentally and numerically ...
Recycling of composite materials
(Springer, 2021-07-01)
Usage of composite material is rising across various sectors such as automotive, wind energy and aerospace. Compared to metal matrix composites (MMCs) and ceramic matrix composites (CMCs), thermoset based polymer matrix ...
3D printing of PEEK and its composite to increase biointerfaces as a biomedical material - A review
(2021-07-01)
Poly ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) is a polymer with better lignin biocompatibility than other polymers. It is good for biomedical engineering applications. This research summarises the outcomes of an evaluation conducted on ...
Characterization and optimization of influence of MoS2 hybridization on tribological behaviours of Mg–B4C composites
(2021-06-21)
Aerospace and automobile industries are facing with challenges in developing lightweight materials with high corrosion and wear resistance. The magnesium (Mg) alloys are superior to their monolithics, as they have maximum ...
