Summary: This study experimentally investigates the influence of seawater aging on the flexural and thermomechanical properties of glass fiber/epoxy composites. The results show that seawater aging significantly reduces the mechanical and thermomechanical properties of the composite laminates. However, hybrid MWCNT/GNP-GF/E composites exhibit better resistance to seawater aging, making them suitable for marine applications.

Summary: In this study, MXenes and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were directly used to modify carbon fiber (CF) fabrics with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as an organic binder. The wettability of CF fabrics was significantly improved due to the tight bonding of the two-dimensional nanomaterials. The interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) of the modified CF/EP composites was also increased. This study demonstrates a novel method for improving the interface between CFs and polymers using nanomaterials.

Summary: The multiwalled carbon nanotubes were successfully deposited onto porous silicon to form a composite, which was then used to fabricate chemiresistive gas sensors. The sensors showed p-type semiconductor behavior at room temperature, with the sensor fabricated using a 5-minute electrophoresis time demonstrating the best NO2-sensing characteristics, including high response, fast response-recovery time, good repeatability, and selectivity toward 1 ppm NO2. The gas-sensing performance was attributed to the heterostructure effect, high specific surface area, and unblocked porous structure.

Summary: In this study, the effects of two types of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the kidneys and aging were compared. It was found that pristine MWCNTs could induce inflammation, apoptosis, insufficient autophagy, and premature kidney aging, with decreased Klotho levels and increased levels of DKK-1, FGF-23, and sclerostin in the serum. This study suggests that using MWCNTs in the industrial field may have toxic effects on the kidneys, and the dispersibility of the nanotubes can affect their toxicity.

Summary: The study found that water-borne polyurethane (WPU) is more conducive to improving the interfacial bonding properties of CF/PC composites, while the addition of CNTs has a beneficial effect on the interfacial properties of composites, but an excessive amount of CNTs can cause agglomeration, which is unfavorable for performance improvement.

Summary: This study presents a systematic investigation of the perforation dynamics of single layer SBSL and multi-layer SBAPs made from UHMWPE fibers. The minimum perforation velocity is determined for both single layer SBSL and multi-layer SBAPs, with complete perforations identified as progressive perforation of individual layers. It is found that the minimum perforation velocities of multi-layer SBAPs are linearly related to the areal density.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of through-thickness stress wave propagation on damage mechanisms in plain weave composites subjected to high velocity projectile impact. The results show that damage is primarily caused by through-thickness compression and crushing, suppressing delamination cracking. Furthermore, at the perimeter of the projectile, damage is dominated by punch shear and in-plane tension. Through-thickness stress wave propagation degrades stiffness and, combined with punch shear and in-plane tension, causes mixed-mode loading of the tow-tow interface, leading to delamination and transverse cracking away from the projectile perimeter.

Summary: The present study aimed to investigate the value chain and determinants influencing fish farmers' decision making in the value addition chain of Rui, Catla, Tilapia, and Pangas fish. Primary data were collected from 200 fish farmers and 212 market actors in three districts of Bangladesh. The analysis revealed the highest value addition by retailers for Rui in Mymensingh and Jessore areas and for Catla in Dhaka, while the lowest value addition was observed for Pangas. The study highlights the importance of developing effective extension services to enhance the fish market system in Bangladesh.

Summary: Sharks and rays play important roles in coral reef ecosystems, but many populations of these species are declining and facing local extinctions. This study uses the IUCN Red List to assess the status and threats to coral reef sharks and rays worldwide, revealing that nearly two-thirds of these species are threatened with extinction. Overfishing, climate change, and habitat degradation are the main causes of this risk. Urgent action is needed, including local protections, fisheries management, and Marine Protected Areas, to prevent extinctions and the loss of critical ecosystem function provided by sharks and rays.

Summary: Learning the extent of price volatility is crucial for the economic welfare of producers and consumers. In this study, we examined the price transmission relationship among the farmgate, wholesale, and retail markets for major aquaculture products in Bangladesh. The results suggest that the retail price leads the wholesale and farmgate price, and the price transmission pattern could be both symmetric and asymmetric in the long run. These findings provide important insights into the dynamics of price transmission in the aquaculture industry.

Summary: This paper presents a novel approach to improving the structural properties and damage tolerance of fiber-reinforced polymer composite joints by using tufting with shape memory alloy (SMA) filaments. T-shaped joints made of carbon-epoxy composite material were reinforced with thin SMA (Ni-Ti nitinol) tufts. Experimental testing and finite element modeling showed that the ultimate load, ultimate displacement, and absorbed energy capacity of the T-joints increased with the areal density of SMA tufts. By using SMA tufting, improvements of over 110% in strength and 450% in absorbed energy capacity were achieved.

Summary: Structural supercapacitors have the potential to provide both structural integrity and energy storage for electric-powered vehicles and mobile robots. However, the development of mechanically strong and stiff electrodes is a challenge. In this study, we report a technique for depositing manganese dioxide uniformly onto carbon nanotube mats, resulting in multifunctional supercapacitor electrodes with enhanced mechanical and electrochemical properties. These high-performance electrodes can significantly improve the energy density of supercapacitors without compromising power density, making them promising for practical applications.
