“…The application of UHMWPE in concrete repair is a topic of interest due to its potential to enhance the mechanical properties of concrete. Many researchers explored the use of UHMWPE in concrete and found that it can improve the workability, strength, and durability of the concrete [200][201][202][203][204]. Osman et al [205] demonstrated that fiber concrete reinforced with UHMWPE had better flexural behavior than that reinforced with PVA.…”

This review explores the use of Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber cloth as an innovative solution for the repair and reinforcement of concrete structures. UHMWPE is a polymer formed from a very large number of repeated ethylene (C2H4) units with higher molecular weight and long-chain crystallization than normal high-density polyethylene. With its superior tensile strength, elongation, and energy absorption capabilities, UHMWPE emerges as a promising alternative to traditional reinforcement materials like glass and carbon fibers. The paper reviews existing literature on fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) applications in concrete repair in general, highlighting the unique benefits and potential of UHMWPE fiber cloth compared to other commonly used methods of strengthening concrete structures, such as enlarging concrete sections, near-surface embedded reinforcement, and externally bonded steel plate or other FRPs. Despite the scarcity of experimental data on UHMWPE for concrete repair, this review underscores its feasibility and calls for further research to fully harness its capabilities in civil engineering applications.

Over the past few years, significant research and development in the manufacturing industry related to the medical field has been done. The aim has been to improve existing biomaterials and bioimplants by exploring new methods and strategies. Beta titanium alloys, known for their exceptional strength-to-modulus ratio, corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and ease of shaping, are expected to play a crucial role in manufacturing the next generation of biomedical equipment. To meet the specific requirements of human bone, researchers have employed key techniques like compositional design and thermomechanical processing routes to advance biomaterial development. These materials find extensive applications in orthopedic, orthodontic, and cardiovascular biomedical implants. Several studies have shown that precise material composition, with appropriate heat treatment and suitable mechanical approaches, can yield the desired mechanical properties for bone implants. In this review article, we explore the evolution of alloys at different stages, with a particular focus on their preparation for use in biomedical implants. The primary focus is on designing low-modulus β Ti alloy compositions and employing processing techniques to achieve high strength while maintaining a low young modulus suitable for biomedical applications.

Cyanate (CE) resin and ultrahigh‐molecular‐weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber are respectively important matrix and reinforcing material for lightweight and high wave‐transparent composites. However, the preparation and application of the composites is limited by the mismatch of molding temperature between CE resin and UHMWPE fiber. The best method to solve this problem is to catalyze the CE resin curing reaction and reduce its molding temperature from 270 to 135°C, which is the upper heat‐resistance temperature of UHMWPE fiber. In this study, the polysulfide catalyst (PSC) was used to catalyze CE resin curing reaction, reduce the curing reaction activation energy and the molding temperature. The apparent activation energy of the CE‐PSC resin decreases from 107.2 to 60.7 kJ mol−1, and the glass transition temperature of the CE‐PSC resin is 257.2°C, flexural strength and tensile strength are 120.2 and 60.8 MPa, respectively. As a result, the CE‐PSC/UHMWPE fiber composites, which are molded at the matching temperature of 135°C, have low density of 1.05 g cm−3, low dielectric constant of 2.4, low dielectric loss of 0.006, and high wave transmittance of 92.2%. Therefore, the CE‐PSC/UHMWPE fiber composites have wide application prospect in the field of light weight and high wave‐transparent composites.Highlights A novel catalytic CE resin can be cured at 135°C with low dielectric properties. The processing temperature mismatch between CE and UHMWPE fiber was solved. Catalytic CE/UHMWPE composites have lightweight and high wave‐transparent properties.
