High‐strength composites by thiocracking of high‐polypropylene‐content mixed waste

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Mixed plastic waste made up of polystyrene and polypropylene was reacted with elemental sulfur to give high‐strength composites. Abstract Mixed‐material municipal waste poses a persistent end‐of‐life management challenge because the heterogeneous composition limits efficient separation and recycling. After disposal, mixed‐material waste often fragments

Performance evaluation of thick carbon fiber‐reinforced laminates manufactured using six‐magnetron microwave system

Polymer International, EarlyView.
IM7/Cycom 5320‐1 unidirectional prepreg has been used to fabricate 64‐layer laminated composites. A custom‐built six‐magnetron microwave applicator and an autoclave were employed to manufacture the composite panels. Mechanical performance of the microwave‐cured composites has been juxtaposed to autoclave‐cured composites in terms of uniaxial tensile ...

In Situ Curing‐Enabled 3D Printing of Continuous Fiber‐Reinforced Thermosetting Composites

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
In situ curing‐enabled the 3D printing of continuous fiber/thermoset composites, which were reviewed. Particularly, four types of in situ curing, were discussed, including Radiation‐induced curing, photothermal curing, electrothermal curing, and frontal polymerization. AI‐integrated printing was also analyzed.
