Carbon fiber (CF) has attained somewhat of a near-mystical appeal in consumer marketing, with it being praised for being stronger than steel while simultaneously being extremely lightweight. This ...

ABSTRACT: The aim of this work is to study the behavior of a double-lap hybrid metallic/composite bolted joint under quasi-static tension loading at room temperature (RT) and cryogenic temperature (CT ...

Abstract: A study on wettability and moisture absorption behavior of various natural fiber hybrid composites with varying weight fractions are presented in this paper. Banana, pineapple, hemp, and ...

The corrosion resistance of an epoxy resin-based coat, reinforced with 0.1 and 0.5 wt% of reduced graphene oxide (rGO), applied to AISI 1020 carbon steel was subjected to immersion tests on a 3.0 wt% ...

Epoxy resin formulations can be cured using a variety of curing agent (hardener) chemistries, each offering distinct advantages. Common options include amines, anhydrides, dicyandiamides, dihydrazides ...

Epoxy resins are coatings and adhesives used in a broad range of familiar applications, such as construction, engineering and manufacturing. However, they often present a challenge to recycle or ...

This Shangri-La-style “safe house” in New York’s Hudson Valley, which has steel-reinforced walls, 4-inch-thick concrete floors, secret exits and a helipad for quick getaways, has hosted Middle Eastern ...

This research investigates the influence of electrochemical surface treatment on the mechanical properties of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites through systematic parameter optimization and ...
