Mechanical and durability properties of GFRP bars exposed to aggressive solution environments

Science and Engineering of Composite Materials, 2021
Two categories of GFRP specimens, in nominal diameters of 11.2 mm and 15.6 mm respectively, made of E-glass fibers and a vinylester resin were immersed in alkaline solution, saline solution and tap water solution at room temperature.

Bioinspired Regenerative Lignification Enables Ultra‐Hard and Sustainable Bamboo Structural Materials

Exploration, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
Developing strong and sustainable materials is essential for reducing reliance on metals and lowering carbon emissions. Inspired by how plants naturally harden their cell walls, we created a rapid process that transforms bamboo into an ultra‐hard structural material by rebuilding lignin‐like networks within its structure.

Reversing Fatigue Damage in Carbon Fiber–Thermoplastic Composites Using Localized Plasma Heating

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 10, Page 8990-9001, 20 May 2026.
Schematic overview of the plasma‐assisted repair strategy for fatigue‐damaged short fiber carbon fiber/ABS composites. Pristine specimens are subjected to cyclic fatigue loading inducing damage. Localized plasma heating softens the thermoplastic matrix, enabling healing and restoring mechanical performance. Tensile testing is used to quantify recovery.

Catechol Derivative‐Based Bioadhesives: Molecular Design for Precision Medical Adhesion

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 27, 13 May 2026.
This study utilizes tree‐inspired side‐chain engineering to graft five catechol derivatives onto PVA, systematically revealing how side‐chain length and substituents regulate adhesion and cohesion properties. Among them, the PVA‐CA patch demonstrates superior tissue adhesion, biocompatibility, and promotes regeneration, establishing a programmable ...
