Summary: Flattened carbon nanotubes (flCNTs) show potential as a form of composite material reinforcement with self-assembly and packing efficiency, and computational methods are used to drive their design through efficient polymer selection. The choice of polymer matrix is crucial for the properties at the reinforcement/polymer interface, impacting the overall performance of the composite materials. The predictions suggest that the fluorinated cyanate ester demonstrates the best overall compatibility with flCNTs, showing higher resistance to shearing and peak tension strength compared to other polymer systems.

Summary: The introduction of nanophases into the interface between fibers and matrix in fiber-reinforced polymer composites can significantly improve the interfacial bonding. Different geometric shapes of nanophases have different reinforcing efficiencies. A multiscale mechanical model is proposed to establish the relationship between nanophase geometry and the transverse tensile strength of composites. The study shows that high aspect ratio nanotubes have superior enhancing effects, but the disadvantage of their low distribution density in the interfacial region needs to be balanced for optimal performance of multiscale composites.

Summary: In this study, Ni-based metal organic frameworks (Ni-MOF) nanosheets with high specific surface area were grown on transition metals carbides (MXenes, MX) surface via vertical alignment to form MX@MOF-B, exhibiting excellent flame retardancy. The addition of 2.0 wt% MX@MOF-B resulted in reductions of 42.5%, 26.7%, 37.8%, and 54.9% in peak heat release rate, peak smoke production rate, peak CO production rate, and peak CO2 production rate, respectively, while the peak concentrations of C2H6, CH4, HCN, NO, and N2O were reduced by 91.3%, 94.3%, 89.6%, 90.3%, and 60.9%, indicating improved fire safety. Furthermore, the fire performance index was increased by 83.0% and the fire growth index was reduced by 37.2%, demonstrating enhanced fire safety. Importantly, the use of MX@MOF-B increased the char yield after combustion by 787.1%, indicating a higher degree of graphitization and better protection for the base matrix. The comparison with previous works highlights the effectiveness of MX@MOF-B in hindering heat release and toxicants emission. This study provides a new paradigm for the development of fire-safe polymer composites with low toxicity.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
