The hydrophilic amide groups and nano-space confinement of PBs create layers with strong Donnan effect that trap five-fold more intermediate water (IW) than bulk water.

The rheological properties of different STF systems and their effects on the stab resistance of composites were studied, and the effects of doped nanowire MWCNT and ANF on the shear-thickening performance and stab resistance were compared. The results show that the STF doped with nanowires can significantly enhance the stab resistance. MWCNT can substantially improve the rigid load-bearing capacity of composite fabrics through strong interfacial bonding and high modulus. At the same time, ANF can enhance the energy-absorbing capacity and the toughness by physical entanglement.

Here, we focus on the adhesion of a natural rubber matrix to a single metal wire, characterized using the Rubber Cord Adhesion Inflation Test. This protocol allows for the observation of a stable steady-state crack propagation under an axisymmetric configuration. An experimental protocol is proposed that utilizes a pre-load sequence to achieve a controlled softening of the rubber sheath surrounding the wire. Quantification is carried out through numerical simulations and subsequent material characterization. The adhesion results indicate that the pre-loading sequence reduces the specimen’s overall resistance to decohesion. A more detailed analysis reveals that the critical SERR value is also lower.
