Low Velocity Impact Behavior of Fabric Reinforced Polymer Composites– A Review

Hybrid biocomposites based on polylactic acid and natural fillers from Chamaerops humilis dwarf palm and Posidonia oceanica leaves

“…Moreover, when combined with natural fillers, PLA often shows an undesired decay of tensile strength upon filler content [4][5][6][7]17]. On the other hand, hybrid composites containing two or more fillers are gaining a meaningful interest in the perspective of constructing composites having emerging properties exceeding the sum of those of single constituents [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. Indeed, polymeric composites with excellent mechanical performance can be achieved via the integration of a hybrid framework constituted by 1D/2D nanofillers, as in the case of PLA-and polyurethanebased hybrid composites, reinforced with graphene/carbon nanotubes [18,22,[34][35][36].…”

Hydroxyapatite coatings: a critical review on electrodeposition parametric variations influencing crystal facet orientation towards enhanced electrochemical sensing

“…To mitigate these mechanical and electrical restrictions, HAp is generally coupled as a composite with metallic and metal oxide substrates of Ti, Mg, and carbon-based composites to act as a backbone of sorts in enhancing its mechanical properties 9 and in providing a point of electrical contact and conduction. Nanocomposite coatings are considered an effective strategy in the fabrication of heterogeneous materials 10,11 resulting in improvement in physico-chemical properties, [12][13][14][15][16][17][18] mitigating detrimental degradation, [19][20][21] and in enhancing its applicative aspects towards increased efficacy, [22][23][24][25] in reinforcement, [26][27][28][29] and sustainability. 30 The fabrication of these nanocomposites offers a certain degree of flexibility in their respective field of application.…”

Effect of the Synthetic Approach on the Formation and Magnetic Properties of Iron-Based Nanophase in Branched Polyester Polyol Matrix

“…The design, the study of the properties, and the practical application of metal–polymer composites are some of the topical areas of advanced materials science [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. This is due to the variety of their potential applications, such as for catalysis [ 6 , 7 ], water purification [ 8 ], energy storage, and conversion elements [ 9 , 10 , 11 ]; the list of applications is endless.…”
