Coverage‐based rarefaction fails to quantify relative species richness

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Coverage‐based rarefaction (CBR) is a high‐profile tool for assessing biodiversity that provides relative species richness estimates by leveraging the Good‐Turing index u to interpolate. In contrast to alternatives such as the Shannon and Simpson indices, CBR's main appeal is providing values in units of species. CBR is tested against a series of other

Quantitative Evaluation of Surface Whitening Mitigation via Thermal Annealing in Carbon Fiber/Polyphenylene Sulphide Thermoplastic Composite Laminates

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Mitigation of surface whitening in CF/PPS laminates via thermal annealing and quantitative image‐based assessment. ABSTRACT Surface whitening is a manufacturing‐induced surface defect in thermoplastic composites, resulting from non‐uniform shrinkage and near‐surface resin instability during cooling.

Structural Performance of Hybrid Fiber–Metal Laminates Reinforced With Natural and Synthetic Fibers: Tensile, Dynamic–Mechanical, and Residual Stress Behavior

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Hybrid fiber‐metal laminates combining aluminum with carbon, glass, and sisal/epoxy layers. Sisal fibers maintained strength, improved strain and thermal stability, and reduced residual stresses with less synthetic fiber. ABSTRACT This work studied how hybridization between natural and synthetic fibers influences the structural tensile performance ...

Radiation Shielding Performance of B4C‐Reinforced Ultra‐High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Composites Against Low‐Energy X‐Rays: Experimental and Computational Analysis

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Radiation shielding behavior of B4C‐reinforced UHMWPE composites. ABSTRACT The present study investigates the radiation shielding performance of ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) composites reinforced with varying boron carbide (B4C) contents against low‐energy X‐rays through combined experimental and computational approaches.

Recycling of Thermoplastic Unidirectional Tapes: An Image‐Analysis Method for Measuring Residual Glass‐Fiber Length in Convoluted Fiber Clusters

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Development of a rapid, low‐cost method for measuring residual glass fibre length: samples are collected by tweezers, prepared via submersion, imaged with a flatbed scanner as a cost‐effective alternative to microscopy, and analyzed for fibre length independently of image acquisition.
