Abstract3D needle‐punched CF/PEEK composites are a kind of composites with promising applications in multiple fields, such as implant materials, but their mechanical properties in the Z‐axis and interlaminar are still weak at present. In this study, a bio‐inspired reinforcement structure based on ladybug forewing was developed to achieve directed reinforcement of 3D needle‐punched CF/PEEK composites. Carbon fiber yarns were stitched into the 3D needle‐punched CF/PEEK preforms according to the set structure, and the bio‐inspired CF/PEEK composites were obtained after hot pressing. The interlaminar and in‐plane mechanical properties of the composites were investigated at different stitch lengths. The results showed that the addition of the bio‐inspired structure greatly improved the interlaminar shear strength of the composites, reaching 111.30 MPa, an enhancement of 95.06%. The in‐plane mechanical properties, including tensile, flexural, and compression, were also significantly improved to different degrees. The “structure‐effect” relationship in the bio‐inspired CF/PEEK composites was investigated, and the effectiveness of such a bio‐inspired reinforcement structure was demonstrated. This new reinforcement strategy provides a new idea for the improvement of the mechanical properties of multi‐stage carbon fiber‐reinforced thermoplastic resin matrix composites.Highlights The in‐plane and interlaminar mechanical properties of composites were simultaneously improved. Up to 95.06% improvement in interlaminar shear strength. A novel bionic strategy of directional reinforcement was developed. The “structure‐effect” relationship in the composites was investigated.

The development of hybrid materials consisting of alternating layers of metal alloys and polymeric composites has revolutionized the engineering field. These metal‐composite laminates combine the merits of each individual component, forming advanced and promising structures which could be employed for structural applications. The low fatigue crack growth rate and high damage tolerance of these materials are particularly fascinating. When developing metal‐composite laminates with superb functional properties, the combination of several metal surface treatment techniques is a common practice to ensure optimum metal‐composite adhesion. Today, a new cutting‐edge manufacturing technique utilizing nano‐porous network film has been established to get rid of the massive infrastructure of conventional autoclave techniques and produce first‐rate materials. Even though various techniques can be adopted to manufacture metal‐composite laminates, the selection of the techniques is highly dependent on the nature of the polymer matrix. After the manufacture of the metal‐composite laminates, post‐stretching is considered a critical step to alleviate the unfavorable residual stress to ensure the optimum performance of these materials for long‐term service. When dealing with natural fibers, it is worth mentioning that the processing temperature should be limited to below 200°C regardless of manufacturing technique to avoid fiber degradation. Metal‐composite laminates consisting of synthetic/natural fibers are considered a viable option to offset the demerits of each kind of fibers. By incorporating fatigue‐resilient natural fibers in the laminates, it is expected that the overall fatigue resistance of the laminates can be apparently enhanced, which is in line with the initial goal of developing metal‐composite laminates.Highlights Fiber bridging offers fiber‐metal laminates with superior fatigue properties. Metal surface treatment is vital to ensure an optimum fiber‐bridging mechanism. A novel out‐of‐autoclave method can produce first‐grade fiber‐metal laminates. Post‐stretching is needed to lessen residual stress in fiber‐metal laminates. Hybrid fiber‐metal laminates are feasible for structural applications.

The present study investigates the indentation resistance of elastomeric nanocomposites based on natural rubber with different amounts of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) under quasi‐static indentation (QSI) and high‐velocity impact (HVI) tests. At first, the baking characteristics and hardness of the samples were checked. The results showed that with the increase in CNFs content, the hardness of the samples increases, and the optimal baking time decreases. A high‐quality final product is produced through good dispersion and acceptable physical bonding between the CNF filler and the rubber chain. Further, the results of quasi‐static indentation showed that the amount of energy absorption for optimal loading of 6 phr increased by 43% compared to a control sample (0 phr). Similarly, from the high‐speed impact results for optimal loading (6 phr), the ballistic limit and energy absorption values increased by 23.6 and 52.7%, respectively, compared to the control sample (0 phr). It was also observed for higher values (9,12 phr) that the glass transition temperature, Tg, effect significantly affected the fracture behavior of the samples due to the high‐speed impact. Finally, CNFs provide better bonding with polymer chains to improve properties through good interaction with natural rubber, making them suitable for energy absorption applications.Highlights New elastomeric nanocomposites reinforced with cellulose nanofibers were made. Increasing the amount of CNFs decreases the optimum curing temperature. The hardness of elastomeric nanocomposites is increased by cellulose nanofibers. The indentation properties of nanocomposites have increased significantly. The optimum value of 6‐phr increased the impact resistance of nanocomposites.
