By solving the differential equations with Runge–Kutta method to get the velocity and displacement curves of particles and analyzing the delays and amplitude ratios of reflected waves, it is found that the damage quantity, fiber volume fraction, and thickness of damaged composite material plates as well as gravity have an effect on solitary waves.

The results obtained showed that the mechanical properties of the composites decreased as the processing temperature increased. Epoxy-coated leather wastes fibre-ABS (CLWABS) composite yielded better mechanical properties compared to the uncoated leather wastes-ABS composite (LWABS). These results were obtained at an optimized processing temperature of 200°C. Furthermore, the results were confirmed by the field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) studies. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies revealed that the epoxy-coated leather wastes fibres (CLW) showed higher onset and melting temperatures of 131.8 and 179.35°C than the uncoated leather wastes fibres (LW) with glass transition (Tg) and melting (Tm) temperatures of 128.2 and 169.4°C, respectively. When the LW and CLW fibres were mixed with Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), the Tg and Tm of CLWABS composite were found to be 94.9 and 269.8°C, respectively, higher than the LWABS composite with Tg and Tm of 89.1 and 261.6°C, respectively. Thus, this study has demonstrated that utilization of epoxy-coated chrome-tanned leather wastes fibres as fillers in the design of ABS-based composites will help a great deal in addressing the problem of solid waste pollutants in our environment.","PeriodicalId":10608,"journal":{"name":"Composites and Advanced Materials","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83520820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This work aims to investigate the applicability of different polymer-based nanofabrics, fabricated via electrospinning as reinforcement interlayers for multilayer-fiber-reinforced polymer composites. Three different polymers are examined; polyamide 6, polyacrylonitrile, and polyvinylidene fluoride, both plain and doped with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The effect of nanotube concentration on the properties of the resulting nanofabrics is also examined. Nine different nanofabric systems are prepared. The stress–strain behavior of the different nanofabric systems, which are eventually used as reinforcement interlayers, is investigated to assess the enhancement of the mechanical properties and to evaluate their potential as interlayer reinforcements. Scanning electron microscopy is employed to visualize the morphology and microstructure of the electrospun nanofabrics. The thermal behavior of the nanofabrics is investigated via differential scanning calorimetry to elucidate the glass and melting point of the nanofabrics, which can be used to identify optimum processing parameters at composite level. Introduction of MWCNTs appears to augment the mechanical response of the polymer nanofabrics. Examination of the mechanical performance of these interlayer reinforcements after heat treatment above the glass transition temperature reveals that morphological and microstructural changes can promote further enhancement of the mechanical response.","PeriodicalId":10608,"journal":{"name":"Composites and Advanced Materials","volume":"131 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74199539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A promising example of such complex structure is a so-called pantographic structure, which can be described as a metamaterial consisting of repeated substructure. In this substructure, two planes, which consist of two arrays of beams being orthogonally aligned to each other, are interconnected by cylinders/pivots. Different inner geometries were taken into account and additively manufactured by means of fused deposition modeling technique using polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) as filament material. To further understand the effect of different manufacturing parameters on the mechanical deformation behavior, three types of specimens have been investigated by means of displacement-controlled extension tests. Different slicing approaches were implemented to eliminate process-related problems. Small and large deformations are investigated separately. Furthermore, 2D digital image correlation was used to calculate strains on the outer surface of the metamaterial. Two finite-element simulations based on linear elastic isotropic model and linear elastic transverse isotropic model have been carried out for small deformations. Standardized extension tests have been performed on 3D-printed PETG according to ISO 527-2. Results obtained from finite-element method have been validated by experimental results of small deformations. These results are in good agreement with linear elastic transverse isotropic model (up to about ε x x = 1.2 % of axial elongation), though the response of large deformations indicates a nonlinear inelastic material behavior. Nevertheless, all samples are able to withstand outer loading conditions after the first rupture, resulting in resilience against ultimate failure.","PeriodicalId":10608,"journal":{"name":"Composites and Advanced Materials","volume":"98 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86053363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They have contributed to improving various applications in several fields. One of the areas most affected by the improvement of smart materials is nanostructures. These materials are created by basic techniques, such as arrangement manipulation.

Here, a review of the latest research on smart materials that can alter the electrical properties of nanostructures is presented. The main objective of this review is to introduce the role of smart materials in controlling the electrical performance of nanostructures. Furthermore, this review proposes an analysis of the integration and cooperation of previous research, such as the use of a piezoelectric motor in the design of structural magnetic nanodevices to control these devices. Piezoelectric actuators can also be used to develop a new method for controlling PV modulators for fabricating a single-wall nanotube. This new proposal could alter the properties of many nanoscale systems serving several medical and engineering fields. Moreover, this review proposes a novel methodology for nanocoating by introducing an antireflective coating with multiple layers.

In this study, we presented a double-layer coating technique, which consisted of a thermal-sprayed titanium (Ti) layer and a micro-arc oxidation (MAO) film on AISI 1020 steel. The effect of the composite coatings (Ti/MAO) on wear and corrosion resistance was investigated. To obtain a coating thickness from 250 µm to 450 µm, the prepared specimens were coated with Ti (99.9% pure) by arc spraying. Then, the Ti/MAO films were deposited on Ti coatings. The current density of MAO was fixed at 35 A/dm2, the voltages were 250, 300, 350, 400, and 450 V, and the duration of the MAO process was 10 min, Measurements of film thickness, microstructure, microhardness, X-ray diffractometry analysis, and scanning electron microscopic observation were performed for determining the characteristics of the composite coatings (Ti/MAO). Potentiodynamic polarization curves were used to compare the corrosion resistance of these composite coatings. A ball-on-disc wear test, using an oscillation friction wear tester, was carried out at room temperature according to the ASTM G99 standard to determine the wear resistance. Among all the specimens, Ti/MAO (400 V) had the greatest hardness, lowest friction coefficient, least weight loss, and longest sliding distance. The sliding distance of Ti/MAO (400 V) was about 1.7 times higher than those of Ti. The open-circuit potential of Ti/MAO (400 V) was about 1.7 times better than those of Ti. The corrosion currents of Ti/MAO (250 V) and Ti/MAO (400 V) were decreased by MAO about 95% and 92%, respectively. Although the corrosion current of Ti/MAO (400 V) was higher than that of Ti/MAO (250 V), Ti/MAO (400 V) had better effects in other tests. According to the results, Ti/MAO (400 V) presented the best performance among all the specimens and provided improved protection to both Ti and substrate.","PeriodicalId":10608,"journal":{"name":"Composites and Advanced Materials","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81853975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To solve this problem, a modified vertical braiding machine was made to braid composite preforms with irregular cross-section mandrels. The finite element method was used to simulate the braiding process, and an efficient method was also derived to predict the braiding angles. The results show that the predicted braiding angles are basically consistent with the actual braiding angles, and the braiding angles at distinctive locations on the braided preform recorded differences of up to 10° or more than 30%. Braiding process simulation via the finite element method can thus effectively and vividly reflect the yarn path on the preform. As such, the braiding angles on the braided preforms can be realized through projection and surface flattening with much better accuracy. It also resolves the difficult problem often faced in measuring the braiding angles at the corner of the mandrel and provides a solid basis for continued research on the performance of its composite reinforcement.","PeriodicalId":10608,"journal":{"name":"Composites and Advanced Materials","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85941466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
