Linear‐Nonlinear‐Linear Sandwich‐Structured Polymer Composites With Metal‐Organic Framework (MOF)‐Enhanced Insulating Layers and Horizontally Oriented Nanotube‐Filled Polarization Layer for High Energy Storage Performance

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A linear‐nonlinear‐linear (LNL) sandwich dielectric film was rationally designed for high energy storage. Its outer linear layers are MOF (ZIF‐8)‐enhanced PEI composites (EZ), and the middle nonlinear layer is an electrospun‐hot‐pressed P(VDF‐HFP)/TNTs composite (PT) with horizontally oriented TNTs.

Tuning the Electronic Structure and Photocatalytic Properties in Polar Two‐Dimensional Gallium Oxide Through Interlayer Stacking and Sulfur Doping

Electron, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates that site‐selective sulfur doping effectively narrows the bandgap of polar 2D Ga2O3 monolayer while preserving the built‐in electric field, enabling efficient carrier separation and enhanced visible‐light absorption for photocatalytic water splitting.

Determination of Mechanical Moduli of Polymeric Materials by Biaxial Tensile Testing

Journal of the Society of Materials Science, Japan, 1969
Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus are two important material constants for isotropic elastic materials, but there are usually very difficult problems regarding Poisson's ratio since high accuracy is required for its measurement. And also, for orthotropic elastic materials it is required that these material constants will be determined in line with ...

Shaking Table Tests and Numerical Analysis of Rocking Vault‐Shaped Segmental Piers Equipped With an Annular Double Sliding System

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To enhance the structural robustness of bridges, a rocking arch‐shaped segmental pier with a double sliding system was previously proposed as a low‐cost solution to protect bridges in developing countries. The rocking behavior is triggered by halting the sliding motion, which increases the horizontal load‐bearing capacity and limits ...

Mechanical Behaviour of Vacuum‐Infused GFRP Composites at Elevated Temperatures—Influence of Fibre Architecture

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study addresses the influence of fibre architecture on the mechanical properties of vacuum‐infused glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites at elevated temperatures (ET). Laminates with three different fibre configurations—unidirectional (UD), bidirectional 0°/90° cross‐ply (BD), and ±45° off‐axis angle‐ply (OA) – were tested in ...

Anisotropic Initial Damage and Its Effect on Tensile Response of Plain Concrete

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Damage is often described as isotropic, implying that a scalar value describes its initial state. However, the prior micro‐cracking pattern at points of an existing building, that is, the initial damage, may be oriented by a preload. The degradation of the Volume Element due to oriented preloads shall be described as anisotropic and ...
