Summary: The study demonstrates that ionic liquid can improve the dispersion of cellulosic nanofillers and enhance the mechanical strength of vulcanizates. As the concentration of cellulosic nanofillers and ionic liquid increases, the viscoelastic rheological behavior of the vulcanizates is also affected.

Summary: The study found that crump rubber reinforced epoxy composites exhibit high energy absorption and higher strain capacity, but their compression modulus and strength values are lower than pure epoxy. By increasing the crump rubber content, the energy absorption of the composite can be significantly improved.

Summary: The presented research focuses on the mechanochemical modification of a snap-cure epoxy resin with the addition of cellulose for the production of a controlled-degradation material with potential application in rail transport. Various tests were conducted to evaluate the properties and performance of the cellulose-filled epoxy resin composites. The results showed that the addition of cellulose did not significantly affect the properties of the composites. This research aligns with the industry's pursuit of eco-friendly solutions and materials with a positive impact on the environment.

Summary: This experiment investigated the impact of adding Vitis vinifera stalk cellulose (VSC) to Bambusa vulgaris fiber (BVF) reinforced epoxy resin composites. The study focused on the mechanical, dynamic mechanical (DMA), and fatigue properties of the composites. For a composite with 5.0 vol.% BVF and 50 vol.% bamboo fiber, there was a significant increase in tensile strength, modulus, flexural strength, modulus, Izod impact, and hardness. The addition of BVF also enhanced the storage modulus, loss factor, and fatigue life of the epoxy+bamboo composite.

Summary: This work presents a method for iron removal in aqueous solutions and organic white wines using mechanically prepared filters composed of vegetable fibers and fibrillated cellulose. The addition of cellulose improved the thermal performance and compressive strength of the filters. The results showed that filters with 15% cellulose had improved iron retention performance. The study also demonstrated the potential of these natural fibers in the demetallization of organic wines.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of current injection modes, probing depth, and preform structure on the electric potential distributions in carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites. A linear anisotropic conductivity model was established to show the variations in electric potential distributions. The findings indicate that fiber tow waviness and bridging regions in plain-woven laminates affect the electric conductivities in different directions.

Summary: This study examined the erosion of rubber particle-reinforced epoxy composites by angular silicon carbide particles, finding that the erosion rates were significantly lower than neat epoxy. By incorporating a new mixture rule based on reinforcement areal coverage, the erosion rates could be predicted within a small margin of error. The methodology developed in this study may be useful in predicting the erosion rate of other composites with elastomeric reinforcements.
