Rate‐dependent performance of composite adhesive joints using thermoset and thermoplastic adhesives, in terms of toughness and fatigue behaviour. ABSTRACT A recently developed hot‐melt adhesive (HMA) based on cyclic olefin chemistry, supplied as a transparent, non‐tacky thermoplastic film with a distinctive polymer microstructure, was evaluated in this

An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

Thin Fluoride Insulators for Improved 2D Transistors: From Deposition Methods to Recent Applications
2D materials hold significant promise for next‐generation electronic and optoelectronic devices, but suitable gate dielectrics are still a challenge. Fluoride insulators, offering inert, dangling‐bond‐free surfaces, have recently emerged as strong candidates. This review covers recent publications on high‐quality fluoride thin‐film deposition and their
