In an article recently published in the journal Materials, researchers experimentally showed that the high-viscosity new generation bulk-fill resins are more resistant to mechanical damage after artificial aging and treatment with water and ethanol, compared to low-viscosity bulk-fill resins.
A study recently published in the journal Cement and Concrete Composites demonstrated the effectiveness of reinforcing carbon fiber in geopolymer matrix composites in order to improve the mechanical properties of the composites.
Insulation helps to reduce the heat loss from buildings and, consequently, improve energy usage, playing a role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Compared to their traditional battery counterparts, solid-state batteries have higher energy potential and are safer, making them key to advancing electric vehicle development and use. Penn State researchers have proposed an improved method of solid-state battery production that enables multi-material integration for better batteries: cold sintering.
Natural Fiber Reinforced Composites (FRC) have piqued the interest of researchers; particularly, natural Jute FRC is a reliable, eco-friendly, sustainable, and cost-efficient alternative to synthetic FRC according to the latest research published in iScience.
In a recent study published in the journal Nano-Micro Letters, researchers from China developed a polymer-based hierarchically multifunctional polyimide composite film comprising of layers of 61.0 weight% graphene oxide/expanded graphite, 23.8 weight% ferric oxide/polyimide, and polyimide fibers to be used as a flexible, heat-dissipating, and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding film for electronic devices.
Polymer biocomposites are gaining research focus as sustainable, biodegradable alternatives to traditional plastic packaging.
In a recent study published in the journal Electrochimica Acta, researchers from China developed a 3D carbon-coated stable silicon/graphene/CNT composite to overcome the limitation of volume expansion of silicon lithium-ion batteries during the charge-discharge process to a certain extent.
A new copper surface that kills bacteria more than 100 times faster and more effectively than standard copper could help combat the growing threat of antibiotic-resistant superbugs.
Many industries increasingly require materials that possess high specific strength and low density. To this end, various advanced materials have been explored and developed by researchers in recent years, with magnesium/eggshell composites proving particularly attractive.
