Polymers and their composites are widely used for designing structures in aerospace, automotive, electronic, sport industries due to lightweight, cost, processing advantages. However, the surface of polymeric materials typically exhibits intrinsic deficiencies, limiting durability functionalities, e.g., low wear resistance, thermal electrical conductivity, adhesion, bioactivity, reflectiveness, weak photochemical resistance. Polymer metallization is an emerging concept that addresses these...
Heat stress is being exacerbated by global warming, jeopardizing human and social sustainability. As a result, reliable energy-efficient cooling methods are highly sought-after. Here, we report polyacrylate film fabricated self-moisture-absorbing hygroscopic hydrogel for efficient hybrid passive cooling. Using one of the lowest-cost industrial materials (e.g., sodium polyacrylate), demonstrate radiative reducing solar heating with high reflectance (0.93) while maximizing thermal emission...
Applying thin metallic coating layers on the surface of polymeric parts or structures (metallization) that is generally performed via electroplating process aims to improve both mechanical integrity and design aesthetics. The electroplated parts, which greatly controlled by strong interfacial adhesion between metal polymer, can be measured using standardized tests, such as tape test peel test, among others. However, various factors pertaining nature these tests affect our interpretation...
Abstract Among the existing two-dimensional materials, MXenes, i.e. transition metal carbides, nitrides and/or carbonitrides, stand out for their excellent electrochemical properties. Due to high charge storage capacity, metal-like conductivity, biocompatibility as well hydrophilicity, Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene-based inks hold great potential scalable production of skin conformable electronics via direct printing methods. Herein, we develop an aqueous MXene ink and inkjet-print films on...
Producing lightweight structures can be effectively achieved using adhesive bonding that incorporates a high-performance adhesive, eliminating the mechanical joints (rivet, bolts). Here, proof-of-concept of tailoring microstructures exhibiting negative Poisson's ratio (auxetic) is investigated two single lap joint (SLJ) models developed in ABAQUS/Standard. The SLJ consist rigid adherends are bonded either homogeneous or heterogeneous produces auxetic response. In value defined part models....
The effect of circular notch has been evaluated for three different architectures three-dimensional (3D) carbon fibre woven composites (orthogonal, ORT; layer-to-layer, LTL; angle interlock, AI) through open-hole quasi-static tension and double-lap bearing strength tests in the off-axis (45°) direction. Damage characterisation is monitored using Digital Image correlation (DIC) testing X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) test. notched 3D exhibits minor reduction (less than 10 %) compared to...
