Summary: This study aims to investigate the mechanical properties of basalt fiber reinforced polymers (BFRPs) with the incorporation of different structured nanoclays, and to improve their interfacial bonding through experimental methods. The results show that a flattened nanoclay structure is more effective for enhancing the modulus, and the inclusion of different structured nanoclays also improves the interlaminar strength and toughness of BFRPs.

Summary: Hierarchical structures play a significant role in determining the mechanical properties of polymer materials. This study successfully fabricated in-situ nanofibrillar high-density polyethylene/polytetrafluoroethylene composites with a highly ordered and compacted nanohybrid shish-kebab structure. The synergistic effect of oscillatory push-pull shear flow field and PTFE led to superior strength and toughness in the composites, with significant improvements in tensile strength, Young's modulus, and impact strength compared to neat HDPE. The proposed strategy shows promise for the preparation of polymer materials with enhanced mechanical properties.

Summary: This study proposed a novel method to prepare Al/Mg2Si composites, which involved the synthesis of Mg2Si particles by solid-state reactions and subsequent mechanical milling. The results showed that as the milling time increased, the size of Mg2Si particles in the composites became smaller, while the grain sizes of the Al matrix remained unchanged. The hot-extrusion process eliminated particle agglomerations and promoted size reduction and uniform dispersion of Mg2Si particles. The composites exhibited increased mechanical properties with increasing milling time, but decreased elongation. The hot-extruded Al/Mg2Si composites showed high strength and ductility compared to conventionally cast composites.

Summary: Bisphenol A dicyanate ester (BADCy) was used as the matrix, poly (p-phenylene-2, 6-benzobisoxazole) (PBO) fibers as reinforcement, and synthesized fluorine-containing linear PBO precursor (preFLPBO) as the interfacial compatibilizer to prepare PBO fibers/FLPBO-m-BADCy wave-transparent laminated composites. The introduction of fluorine groups and PBO-like structures improved dielectric properties and enhanced interfacial compatibility, leading to better mechanical properties in the composite materials.

Summary: Polydopamine hybrid zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (PDA*ZIF-8) membrane is synthesized on the surface of poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole) (PBO) fibers, resulting in PBO@PDA*ZIF-8 fibers. These fibers are used as reinforcement in the preparation of PBO@PDA*ZIF-8 fibers/BADCy wave-transparent laminated composites, which exhibit improved mechanical and dielectric properties compared to PBO fibers/BADCy composites.

Summary: Due to the multiscale structural characteristics and complex internal coupling, evaluating the mechanical properties of polymer composites based on their microstructural information is challenging. In this study, a multiscale method is proposed to predict the mechanical properties of polymer composites by considering the contributions from the polymer matrix and particle filling, as well as particle-matrix interactions.

Summary: The viability of contact dewatering of cellulose nanofibrils and lignin-containing cellulose nanofibrils was tested, and nanoscale morphology of dried fibers was achieved on wood particles. The mechanical testing of the composites incorporating these fibers showed similar or improved properties compared to spray-dried cellulose nanofibrils. Theoretical energy required for drying was considerably reduced through contact dewatering.

Summary: This paper investigates the interlaminar bond strength of laser in-situ consolidation CF/PEEK thermoplastic composites. The results show that porosity significantly affects the interlaminar shear strength, while there is no correlation between crystallinity and interlaminar shear strength. The interlaminar shear strength in the heated tool in-situ consolidation group is significantly higher than the constant pressure in-situ consolidation group.

Summary: Additive manufacturing technology has revolutionized the manufacturing process of polymer composites by enabling the construction of complex products with unique materials, functions, and structures. However, the printing of high-concentration nanocellulose structures using this technology often faces challenges related to adhesion and shape fidelity. This research presents an economical approach to fabricate structures by printing high-concentration nanocellulose layer-wise patterns. The study demonstrates the successful fabrication of two different composites and highlights the importance of optimal blend compositions and resin infusion methods in achieving high mechanical strength and interface adhesion.

Summary: The study found that gamma radiation can improve the tensile properties and dimensional stability of composites with lower RHF loadings, with the maximum enhancements observed at 40 wt% RHF with 50 kGy. However, at higher RHF loadings, only the lower dose of 25 kGy showed positive effects on tensile performance and water resistance. High dose of 150 kGy led to a failure in mechanical and thermal stability in the composites.

Summary: In this study, bioinspired web-liked multiphase composites were successfully constructed using boron-modified polysilazane polymer. The composites consisted of long TiB nanowires as 'web' and hybrid TiC and Ti3Si particles as 'nodes'. The enhanced strength of these composites was attributed to the synergistic load transfer of the hybrid reinforcements. This study provides a promising design approach for developing high-performance composites with high reinforcement content, utilizing polymer instead of traditional ceramic powder.

Summary: In this study, (TiB + TiC)/Ti6Al4V composites (TMCs) were prepared using in situ synthesis technology and hot indirect extrusion was conducted at four different temperatures. It was found that below the phase transition temperature, mechanical effects significantly influenced the microstructures of TMCs, leading to the formation of more elongated α grains. The yield strength decreased gradually with increasing extrusion temperature, while elongation initially increased and then decreased slightly.

Summary: Wood plastic composites (WPC) were made with varying wood flour (WF) content from 10 to 40%, showing significant dependence of mechanical and rheological properties on WF content. The storage modulus increased with increasing WF content, while components made from the composites exhibited a close to uniform thickness distribution.
