This paper evaluates the performance and core plugging capacity of novel functional polymer gels and microspheres to determine the applicability of core permeability ranges. On the heterogeneous core designed based on the reservoir characteristics of Block B oilfield, optimization was conducted separately for the formulation, dosage, and slug combinations of the polymer gel/microsphere. Finally, oil displacement experiments using polymer and microsphere combinations were conducted on vertically and planar heterogeneous cores to simulate reservoir development effects. The experimental results show the novel functional polymer gel exhibits slow gelation with high gel strength, with viscosity rapidly increasing four days after aging, ultimately reaching a gel strength of 74,500 mPa·s. The novel functional polymer gel and polymer microsphere can effectively plug cores with permeabilities below 6000 mD and 2000 mD, respectively. For heterogeneous cores with an average permeability of 1000 mD, the optimal polymer microsphere has a concentration of 4000 mg/L and a slug size of 0.3 PV; for heterogeneous cores with an average permeability of 4000 mD, the optimal functional polymer gel has a concentration of 7500 mg/L and a slug size of 0.1 PV.

This paper focuses on short-carbon-fiber-reinforced nylon (SCF/PA) composites with short-carbon-fiber contents of 15 wt%, 25 wt%, and 35 wt%, respectively.

The research results show that with the increase in the short-carbon-fiber content, the melt flow rate of the SCF/PA composites shows a downward trend. In terms of mechanical properties, when the short-carbon-fiber content is 25 wt%, the tensile strength and flexural strength of the composite reach their maximum values, which are 101.43 MPa and 173.16 MPa, respectively.

At the same time, when the short-carbon-fiber content is 35 wt%, the thermal deformation temperature of the material also shows a certain degree of slight increase.

While these variabilities minimally affect the homogenised properties, they increase the presence of highly stressed regions, especially at the interface and matrix of flax/epoxy composites. Additionally, intra-laminar hybridisation further increases local stress in these critical areas.

Their unique Si-O-Al framework supports both stabilization/solidification (S/S) and adsorption processes, making them an ideal polymeric matrix for the immobilization of hazardous heavy metals in contaminated environments. The review categorizes the heavy metal immobilization mechanisms into physical encapsulation, ion exchange, hydroxide precipitation, and chemical complexation, depending on the specific metal species and geopolymer formulation. The introduction of chemical stabilizing agents, such as dithiocarbamate, sodium sulfide, and trimercaptotriazine, significantly improves the encapsulation efficacy of geopolymers by promoting targeted reactions and stable metal complexes. These agents enable the effective S/S of metals, such as lead, cadmium, and chromium, reducing their leachability and environmental impact. In addition to solid waste management applications, geopolymers have shown promising adsorption capabilities for aqueous contaminants, with chemical modifications further increasing their affinity for specific heavy metals.

Additionally, PSI-modified PSCs demonstrated enhanced stability, retaining over 80% of their initial efficiency after 40 days of storage under ambient conditions without encapsulation.

Compared to traditional joining methods, adhesive joints offer unique advantages such as improved load distribution, reduced stress concentration, and enhanced aesthetic appeal. This study aims to enhance delamination resistance in wooden adhesive joints using a novel method involving reinforced high-toughness resin on surfaces. Additionally, a hybrid substrate approach applies a tough layer to outer plies and a densified wood core with greater fiber direction strength. Normal, toughened, and hybrid single-lap joint specimens were analyzed through both experimental and numerical methods under various loading conditions, including quasi-static and intermediate rates. The proposed method involved bio-adhesive penetration into the wood substrate, forming a reinforced surface zone. The experimentally validated results show a significant improvement in joint strength, exhibiting an approximate 2.8-fold increase for the toughened joints compared to the reference joints under intermediate-rate conditions. Furthermore, the absorbed energy of the toughened joints increased by a substantial factor of up to 4.5 times under the same conditions. The fracture surfaces analysis revealed that the toughening method changed the failure mechanism of the joints from delamination to fiber breakage, indicating that the strength of the substrate was lower than that of the joint under impact conditions. The viscoelastic behavior of the bio-adhesive also influenced the response of the joints to the changing displacement rate.

This makes them indispensable in various fields, including hygiene products and agriculture. The water absorption capacity of SAMs is influenced by the presence of hydrophilic groups and a swellable network structure. To optimize performance, one must adjust the types and concentrations of functional groups. Additionally, changes in the density and regularity of the polymer network are necessary. Significant performance improvements are limited by inherent challenges in modifying polymer chains or networks. To enhance performance, researchers focus on manipulating the components and structure of the polymer network. Effective water retention requires the network to fully expand while maintaining its strength. Incorporating nanoparticles, especially one-dimensional (1D) nanoclays, minimizes chain entanglement and prevents network collapse during drying. This approach effectively addresses the above challenges. Upon swelling, these nanoparticles improve hydrogen bonding within the polymer network, significantly boosting the performance of SAMs. Nanoclays are abundant natural silicates found in various nanostructures like nanorods, nanofibers, and nanotubes. These nanoclays contain reactive silanol groups that form strong hydrogen bonds with polymer chains. This aids in network formation and reduces costs.
