Direct Assembly of Through‐the‐thickness Reinforced Metal–polymer Composite Hybrid Structures
Abstract

Direct Assembly of Through‐the‐thickness Reinforced Metal–polymer Composite Hybrid Structures

Constant efforts to reduce the structural weight of transportation systems as a solution to control emission levels are currently shaping the way modern cars and airplanes are designed and manufactured.
Processing of Fiber‐reinforced Ultra‐high Temperature Ceramic Composites
Abstract

Processing of Fiber‐reinforced Ultra‐high Temperature Ceramic Composites

Ultra‐high temperature ceramics have emerged as promising materials for high‐temperature aerospace applications due to their high melting temperature and superior ablation performance. Even still, they have yet to reach their full potential due to the catastrophic brittle failure that typically accompanies the intrinsic low fracture toughness of ceramic materials.
Compression Fatigue Testing Setups for Composites
Abstract

Compression Fatigue Testing Setups for Composites

This review provides an overview of existing methods for the characterization of composites, i.e., setups for testing fiber reinforced polymer composites under compression and discusses their applicability to fatigue testing.
Reinforcing the Near Eutectic Aluminum–Silicon Alloy with Graphene: An Approach toward Self‐Lubricating Composite
Abstract

Reinforcing the Near Eutectic Aluminum–Silicon Alloy with Graphene: An Approach toward Self‐Lubricating Composite

Herein, the reinforcement of near eutectic Al–Si (ADC12) alloy with the reduced graphene oxide (rGO) is demonstrated. The structural, mechanical, metallurgical, and tribological characteristics are conducted to understand the role of rGO as a reinforcement phase.
Biodegradation of Polyurethane‐polyhydroxybutyrate Elastomeric Composite Investigated From Morphological and Structural Viewpoint
Abstract

Biodegradation of Polyurethane‐polyhydroxybutyrate Elastomeric Composite Investigated From Morphological and Structural Viewpoint

Morphological, structural, and tensile changes of polyurethane‐poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PU‐PHB) elastomeric composites were evaluated after accelerated test in standard compost media. Size of PHB particles together with their uniform dispersion in the matrix were found to be key parameters for material's resistivity against degradation media.
