Summary: In this study, the tensile properties of graphene oxide (GO)-reinforced nylon 66 composites were simulated using molecular dynamics method. The effects of GO agglomeration on the mechanical properties of the composites were analyzed. The results showed that the aggregation of GO made it difficult to effectively bond with PA66, resulting in a decrease in the mechanical properties of the composites. Additionally, the number and type of hydrogen bonds had a significant impact on the mechanical properties of the composites. By reducing the degree of GO agglomeration, the excellent mechanical properties of GO could be effectively utilized to improve the mechanical properties of the composite.

Summary: The interaction between PB nanoparticles and PP matrix was enhanced by grafts via hydrogen bonding, leading to improved rheological properties and thermal stability of the polymer blend. Dynamic rheological analysis revealed the formation of a correlated structure due to H-bonding interaction and its impact on rheological behavior. Changes in temperature resulted in an increase in recovery ratio for the blend, indicating variations in material properties.

Summary: Metal-matrix composites of aluminium alloy 7075 containing multiwall carbon nanotubes were developed using powder metallurgy and high energy ball milling for dispersion. Characterization of the AA7075-MWCNT powder showed microstructural changes and a fine dispersion of reinforcement into the matrix. Results of mechanical tests indicated that the addition of 0.5 wt.% MWCNTs significantly improved the ductility of the composites.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of cooling rates on the crystallization, thermomechanical, and fracture properties of PPS and CF/PPS. The results showed that slow cooling rates led to high crystallinity, increasing the elastic modulus and yield stress but decreasing strength and fracture toughness. In neat resin, a transition from brittle to ductile fractures occurred between 1 and 10 degrees C/min, significantly increasing fracture toughness. However, CF/PPS fracture toughness was less affected by cooling rate and significantly lower than that of neat PPS due to weak fiber/matrix bonding.

Summary: Charged groups in pulp enhance paper tensile strength, with oxygen delignification introducing charged groups. Fiber rigidity during refining, influenced by factors like lignin content and fiber charge, affects tensile strength development. Refining also impacts fiber curl, with pulps with higher fiber charge and WRV showing greater increase in tensile strength.

Summary: The weak interfacial bonding between thermoplastic liners and carbon fiber-reinforced composites (CFRP) was addressed by optimizing atmospheric-pressure plasma process parameters. Climbing drum peel, flatwise tensile, and asymmetric double cantilever beams were used to evaluate the interfacial bonding properties. The optimized process parameters significantly improved the interfacial bonding strength compared to the untreated samples.

Summary: A novel technique was studied to enhance interfacial adhesion by adsorbing the amphiphilic biopolymer protein onto PPS/PTFE fabric surfaces. In addition, WS2@Ti3C2 nanohybrids with heterostructures were synthesized, and the hierarchical microstructure facilitated the reinforcement of fabric composites. The results showed that the decoration of BSA improved the interfacial performance, increasing the tensile and bonding strength by 35.91% and 68.51% respectively, and decreasing the wear rate by 59.3%.

Summary: The mechanism of intermolecular interaction between conjugated polymers and a polymer matrix is crucial for the development of highly sensitive fluorescent temperature-sensing materials. By combining aggregation-induced emission luminogens and hydrogen bonding, a synergistic molecular mechanism has been proposed and applied to the development of such materials. A series of highly sensitive composites, suitable for different temperature ranges and scenarios, has been prepared through molecular structure engineering.

Summary: Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were used to enhance the electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and mechanical properties of carbon fiber-reinforced polyetherketoneketone (CF/PEKK) composites. The modified composites showed improved EMI shielding effectiveness with a 142.1% enhancement in the X-band, attributed to enhanced dielectric and ohmic losses facilitated by MWCNT. Additionally, MWCNT contributed to the optimization of mechanical properties through interactions and interlocking with CF, PEKK, and MWCNT. The modified CF/PEKK composites demonstrated higher flexural strength, flexural modulus, and interlaminar shear strength compared to the unmodified composites.
