Summary: This paper critically analyzes different methods used for enhancing the interface in thermoplastic composites. Due to the absence of cross-linked polymer chains and chemical bonds, the interfacial adhesion between fiber reinforcements and the thermoplastic matrix is weak. Various methods, including nanoparticles, plasma etching, chemical treatment, and oxidative attack have been explored to improve the fiber/matrix bonding. The paper comprehensively discusses the fabrication steps, research progress, toughening mechanisms, and the effect of different interfacial enhancement methods on the mechanical properties of thermoplastic composites.

Summary: A glass fiber/polypropylene semi-impregnated lamina was added to improve the weldability of an epoxy laminate. Ultrasonic welding of the hybrid composite was performed with varying welding parameters, resulting in different lap-shear strengths and weld interface qualities. The welding time had a significant influence on the intermixing of the thermoplastic layer and the formation of a strong weld area, while the amplitude and pressure mainly affected the power absorption and overall welding performance.

Summary: Using biobased thermoplastic cellulose acetate (CA) as a fiber treatment can improve the impact damage resistance of flax/epoxy composites, particularly the perforation threshold energy and perforation energy. Despite slightly affecting the transverse tensile strength and in-plane tensile shear strength of the composites, CA modification helps to alter the performance of the composites in quasi-static tests.

Summary: Structural health monitoring aims to detect, locate, quantify, and predict any damage occurring during the lifetime of a structure for effective maintenance and repair. The location of structural damage can be deterministic or probabilistic, requiring the monitoring system to handle both types of events. Through optimization and integration of different sensor placement methods, a global monitoring strategy has been achieved to balance the detection of predetermined and random damage locations.

Summary: The study found that higher through-the-thickness heating in continuous ultrasonic welding is mainly caused by viscoelastic bulk heat generation, rather than thermal conduction. Interestingly, most of the vibrational energy is absorbed by the top adherend in the continuous process, in contrast to a more balanced energy share between the top and bottom adherend in the static process.

Summary: Continuous ultrasonic welding is a promising technique for joining thermoplastic composite structures, but current research shows the presence of deconsolidation voids at the welding interface, leading to reduced strength. This study aims to improve weld quality by adding a consolidation shoe to the welding setup and determines the optimal consolidation pressure, shoe size, and distance from the sonotrode through a stepwise approach. Results show that the furthest consolidation distance achieves high-quality welds with minimal porosity and high strength.

Summary: In this study, laser surface texturing (LST) was performed on the surface of 6061 aluminum alloy using a pulsed laser, and then SHF-2D zinc epoxy coating (SP) was applied. The results show that LST can effectively increase the adhesion strength, and the pattern of the spatter produced by laser irradiation determines the adhesion strength.

Summary: The paper focuses on the behavior of glued joints of wooden sections at elevated temperatures. The study found that the curing of PRF and PUR adhesives was insufficient at high temperatures. At 140℃, there was no significant reduction in strength for all tested adhesives, but a longer duration (1 day) led to a decrease in tensile shear strength. At 170℃, PRF and EPI showed a significant drop in strength, while PUR lost its strength completely after longer duration exposures.

Summary: Polyurea coated structures have garnered significant attention due to their various applications. However, there is a lack of research on delamination in polyurea coated structures. This study aims to develop a rate-dependent traction-separation model and a numerical modeling framework to simulate the rate-dependent delamination process. The proposed approach successfully reproduced the fracture mechanisms and aided in understanding the interaction between different regions during delamination.
