Abstract Biological structures achieve remarkable material performance owing to naturally assembled that extend from the molecular macro‐scale. Synergy among constituents of various length scales yields lightweight, hierarchically structured materials with properties superior those individual components. To replicate nature's ingenuity, this work emulates cylindrical core‐shell structure found in osteons and bamboo, utilizing Halloysite Nanotubes (HNTs) Glass Fibers (GFs) a semi‐crystalline...
In this work, hybrid polypropylene (PP)-based composites reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) and glass fiber (GF) were fabricated by injection molding to elucidate how the approach can produce synergistic effects capable of achieving properties functionalities not possible in biphasic composites. Synergism between reinforcements translated improved mechanical performance, which was attributed chemically and/or electrostatically assembled hierarchical structure that facilitates load...
