Controlled Catalysis Delivering High Molecular Weight Polyesters as Recyclable Alternatives to Polystyrenes

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
This work exemplifies how to make high molar mass ring opening copolymerization (ROCOP) polyesters as engineering plastics, informing upon their thermal and mechanical properties. Leading polyesters, prepared by epoxide/anhydride ROCOP, show high glass transition temperatures and tensile and flexural strengths, matching or exceeding polystyrene ...

The effect of clay on the mechanical properties of epoxy resins subjected to hygrothermal ageing [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
Epoxy polymers are an important class of material for use in various applications. Due to their hydrophilic nature, epoxy resins tend to absorb moisture. Absorption of moisture degrades the functional, structural and mechanical properties. For polymers, it is known that moisture absorption can lead to both reversible and irreversible changes.

Demonstration of Complete Recycling Processes of Reversible Epoxies Using Solar Energy Conversion

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
Photothermal heating can save time and recourse and, consequently, reduce costs to reach an elevated temperature for recycling processes. Although self‐healing or reattachment is reported, recycling of a sample as a whole is not feasible by using a point light source, e.g., laser.

Fully Bio‐Based Epoxy Thermoset Based on Epoxidized Linseed Oil and Tannic Acid

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 307, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
By using epoxidized linseed oil and tannic acid to produce a bio‐based thermoset, this work pursues the approach of replacing hazardous and petrochemical‐derived materials with nontoxic bio‐based materials while preserving the efficacy of function. Thus, good thermal‐ and mechanical properties such as a flexural modulus of 2986 MPa, Tg of 147 °C, or ...

Muti-Filler Composites Reinforced with Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes and Chopped Carbon Fibers for the Bipolar Plate of Fuel Cells

open access: yesEnergies
To improve the conductivity and flexural strength of bipolar plates for proton-exchange membrane fuel cells, multi-filler-reinforced composites were prepared using graphite, multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), chopped carbon fibers (CCFs), and ...

Multistable Composite Laminate Grids as a Design Tool for Soft Reconfigurable Multirotors

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Flexible, lightweight, stable: the reconfigurable multirotor combines stable flight in multiple shapes with low‐energy reconfiguration. Utilizing optimized multistable composites, it achieves self‐locking in open and folded configurations, cutting width‐span by 48% and allowing for safe gap traversal.

Spring and Power in Hovering Ornithopters

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Only small ornithopters can hover, longest at the hummingbird size. This article reviews the drive and power of these hovering machines, focusing on elastic energy and thrust boosters. Unlike two‐winged designs, X‐winged and multiple‐V‐winged ornithopters benefit from lower disk loading and slower, smaller wingbeats, and the clap‐and‐fling effect ...
