Nowadays, pultruded glass fiber-reinforced polymer composite (PGFRPC) structures have been used widely for cross-arms in high transmission towers. These composite structures have replaced cross-arms of conventional materials like wood due to several factors, such as better strength, superior resistance to environmental degradation, reduced weight, and comparatively cheaper maintenance. However, lately, several performance failures have been found on existing cross-arm members, caused by moisture, temperature changes in the atmosphere, and other environmental factors, which may lead to a complete failure or reduced service life. As a potential solution for this problem, enhancing PGFRPC with honeycomb-filled composite structures will become a possible alternative that can sustain a longer service life compared to that of existing cross-arms. This is due to the new composite structures’ superior performance under mechanical duress in providing better stiffness, excellence in flexural characteristics, good energy absorption, and increased load-carrying capacity. Although there has been a lack of previous research done on the enhancement of existing composite cross-arms in applications for high transmission towers, several studies on the enhancement of hollow beams and tubes have been done. This paper provides a state-of-the-art review study on the mechanical efficiency of both PGFRPC structures and honeycomb-filled composite sandwich structures in experimental and analytical terms.

“…Essentially, if the change in fibre diameter over time (due to swelling) was measured, fitted curves could be used to then predict the evolution of the porosity and permeability with time. Then, if the evolution of the pressure gradient as a function of time was known, Equation (10), which is derived by resolving Darcy's law (Equation ( 6)) with the continuity equation (Equation ( 8)), could be used to predict the evolution of the flow front.…”

A Review of Permeability and Flow Simulation for Liquid Composite Moulding of Plant Fibre Composites

et al. 2020

Liquid composite moulding (LCM) of plant fibre composites has gained much attention for the development of structural biobased composites. To produce quality composites, better understanding of the resin impregnation process and flow behaviour in plant fibre reinforcements is vital. By reviewing the literature, we aim to identify key plant fibre reinforcement-specific factors that influence, if not govern, the mould filling stage during LCM of plant fibre composites. In particular, the differences in structure (physical and biochemical) for plant and synthetic fibres, their semi-products (i.e., yarns and rovings), and their mats and textiles are shown to have a perceptible effect on their compaction, in-plane permeability, and processing via LCM. In addition to examining the effects of dual-scale flow, resin absorption, (subsequent) fibre swelling, capillarity, and time-dependent saturated and unsaturated permeability that are specific to plant fibre reinforcements, we also review the various models utilised to predict and simulate resin impregnation during LCM of plant fibre composites.

“…The past three decades have seen expeditious advances in applications of polymer materials (Wang et al 2019c) such as their extensive use in electronic devices (Sadasivuni et al 2020), photonic technologies (Kumi Barimah et al 2020), packings (Batista et al 2019), insulations (Zhou et al 2017), structural applications (Chaudhary and Ahmad 2020), paints (Weimer et al 2020), glues (Wang et al 2020c), lubricants (AlMaadeed et al 2020, elastomers (Cummings et al 2020), rubbers (Lai et al 2020), coatings (Acosta et al 2020), medical applications (Romero et al 2020), personal health care, hygiene and in separation technologies (Yong and Zhang 2020). Both synthetic and natural polymers are so essential and ubiquitous that now it is unimaginable to think life without them.…”

Nano-structured dynamic Schiff base cues as robust self-healing polymers for biomedical and tissue engineering applications: a review

et al. 2021

Polymer materials are vulnerable to damages, failures, and degradations, making them economically unreliable. Self-healing polymers, on the other hand, are multifunctional materials with superior properties of autonomic recovery from physical damages. These materials are suitable for biomedical and tissue engineering in terms of cost and durability. Schiff base linkages-based polymer materials are one of the robust techniques owing to their simple self-healing mechanism. These are dynamic reversible covalent bonds, easy to fabricate at mild conditions, and can self-reintegrate after network disruption at physiological conditions making them distinguished. Here we review self-healing polymer materials based on Schiff base bonds. We discuss the Schiff base bond formation between polymeric networks, which explains the self-healing phenomenon. These bonds have induced 100% recovery in optimal cases.
