However, traditional composite materials are often made from petroleum-based plastic reinforced with either carbon or glass fiber, (2,3) which are nonrenewable and nonsustainable. In addition, in the ...

Aluminium - glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRP) sandwich panels are hybrid laminates consisting of GFRP bonded with thin aluminum sheets on either side. Such sandwich materials are increasingly ...

The mechanical performance of mixed plastic waste from shredder residue is hindered by brittleness and catastrophic failure, limiting its potential applications. In this study, the mechanical ...

If you're buying or building your own fiberglass car, here's how you can keep it looking good for years to come.

“Implementing natural fiber-reinforced zeolite-polyester composites in solar panels not only addresses environmental concerns but also provides a pathway for developing high-performance, durable ...

The current research work aims to analyze and model the mechanical properties of coconut fiber-reinforced polymeric composites. The influence of the proportions of coconut fibers on the composite’s ...

For example, dryer sheets can remove soap scum and hard water stains from bathroom and kitchen fixtures, wipe up problematic spills, and eliminate pet hair, dust, and lint.

A basalt fiber-reinforced asphalt mixture can improve the engineering properties of asphalt pavement and prolong the service life of the road. However, few studies have systematically examined the ...
