Summary: Carbon nanotubes have great potential for use in microelectronic packaging due to their excellent thermal conductivities. However, their high electroconductibility and poor radial conductivity limit their application in insulating materials. In this study, a heterostructured brushlike hybrid was prepared by anchoring amine-functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes onto insulating montmorillonite. The resulting composites exhibited improved thermal conductivity, mechanical properties, and thermal stability, providing a promising strategy for fabricating polymer composites.

Summary: Studies have shown that the fraction of the secondary filler inducing the maximum synergistic effect decreases with increasing total filler content, leading to an anti-synergistic effect at high fractions. Effective phonon transfer and high thermal conductivity can be achieved at the optimum fraction due to improved filler network formation. The Kim-Jang-Lee model was proposed for both the synergistic and anti-synergistic effects based on the ratio of fillers in the composites.

Summary: Electrothermal processes were investigated in pyroresistive composites of high-density polyethylene with carbon black and carbon fibers. The kinetic heating curves showed an exponential dependence with a heating rate constant for each composite. Equilibrium temperature was reached after a short heating time, and decreased with the presence of positive temperature coefficient of resistance (PTC) effect. The composites exhibited self-regulating capability and the equilibrium temperature depended on the applied voltage and electric power with different relationships. An application of using HDPE-CB composite as a heating element for resistance welding was demonstrated.

Summary: Spin coating is commonly used to prepare thin films with uniformity and controlled thickness. However, it has not been successful in producing free-standing thin films of polyolefins due to their insufficient strength. In this study, we have achieved free-standing thin films of polyolefins, such as polyethylene, with varying thickness. These films can be used for hydrophobic coating, filtration membranes, and oil-sorbents.

Summary: Mixed polyolefin-based waste requires immediate attention to mitigate its negative impact on the environment. The separation of these plastics is energy-intensive due to their similar densities, and they cannot be blended without compatibilizers due to their inherent incompatibility. This study presents non-wettable microporous sheets made from recycled polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), which demonstrate efficient oil-water separation and high reusability. These findings emphasize the importance of sustainable solutions for plastic recycling and mitigating oil spill problems.

Summary: This paper investigates the effect of impact damage on the fatigue behavior of CF/PEEK-titanium hybrid laminates. A fatigue life model is proposed to predict the S-N curves of the laminates based on energy dissipation approach. The energy dissipation behavior of the laminates under different experimental conditions is analyzed through post-impact fatigue tests, and the correlation between impact damage and fatigue dissipation energy is determined. The validity of the proposed model is verified through fatigue tests under different stress ratios and impact energy levels.
