Summary: Due to their polar character, vegetal fibers are not frequently used at industrial scale due to their incompatibility with mostly dispersive polymers. In this study, fluoration treatment was conducted to modify the surface of flax fibers, reducing the polar component and increasing the dispersive character. This treatment enables the fibers to be perfectly compatible with hydrophobic polymers.

Summary: This paper developed a multi-mechanism coupling finite element model to predict the surface recession of C/C-SiC composites based on ablation phenomena, considering temperature-dependent properties, heat convection, and radiation. The predicted ablation depth matched well with experimental results, and the trend of ablation rate was similar between simulations and experiments. Additionally, the effects of laser powers on ablation behaviors of C/C-SiC composites were investigated, revealing that low powers had minimal impact while high powers initially increased and then decreased the ablation rate.

Summary: This study investigates the sintering process of composites made of Alumix 431 powders and B4C boron carbide. Sintering temperatures of 550, 580, and 600 degrees Celsius were used. The complex nature of the sintering process of Alumix powders arises from the possibility of various reactions among its components and their interaction with boron carbide. The research includes preparing green compacts from a powder mixture with the addition of 5 wt % B4C and examining the density and microstructure of the sinters using scanning microscopy and X-ray phase analysis.

Summary: A thermal analysis method was developed for unidirectional fiber-reinforced C/SiC composites (C/SiC-UFRC) in air oxidizing environment below 1000°C, which includes a mathematical theoretical model and a finite element model. The mathematical model combines the thermal resistance network method and the oxidation kinetics theory, introducing the influence of oxidation characteristics on C/SiC-UFRC axial thermal conductivity. The finite element model constructs a representative volume element of C/SiC-UFRC and applies the numerical heat transfer method to simulate the microstructure and investigate the effects of oxidation on the micro temperature field and heat transfer behavior of C/SiC-UFRC.

Summary: In this study, a solution using nitrogen and boron co-effect flame-retardant (MB-BNNS) functionalized boron nitride nanosheets was presented to enhance the thermal conductivity and flame retardance of epoxy resin while maintaining excellent electrical insulation properties. The MB-BNNS were prepared by grafting MB onto boron nitride surfaces through a simple ball-milling and eco-friendly water scrubbing process. Epoxy composites with uniformly dispersed MB-BNNS were obtained via wet processing. The 5 vol% EP/MB-BNNS composite exhibited optimal comprehensive performance, with 108% increase in thermal conductivity, 36.44% and 32.06% decrease in peak heat release rate and total heat release rate, respectively, and a slight decrease in dielectric breakdown strength. Furthermore, the release percentages of toxic and combustible gases in the EP/MB-BNNS composite system were significantly reduced, as measured through in-situ measurement.

Summary: The deformation and failure analysis of PP/elastomer/wood flour composites reveals that various local deformation processes occur during loading, with different energy consumption. These processes can interact and even result in an antagonistic effect on impact resistance. Shear yielding of the matrix is the most energy-efficient process. The presence of wood decreases shear yielding by hindering overall deformation and initiating other local processes such as debonding. The role of debonding is controversial as it may increase or decrease plastic deformation and impact resistance. Wood fracture does not significantly contribute to impact resistance. If impact resistance is important, PP cannot be reinforced with wood flour, and other methods like adding synthetic fibers are more suitable.

Summary: This study aims to improve the compatibility between flax natural fibers and mostly dispersive polymers by grafting fluorine atoms onto the fiber surface using plasma fluorination. The covalently grafted fluorine atoms reduce the fiber polarity and make it compatible with dispersive polymers. The mechanical properties and fluorine release during fiber combustion were investigated and no negative impact was observed. This eco-friendly approach improves the wettability of the fibers and shows potential for enhancing the mechanical performance of eco-composites reinforced with fluorinated fibers.

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.
