Engineered Interpenetrating MXene Networks in Aramid Layered Films for Antioxidant and Broadband Electromagnetic Interference Shielding

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 18, 27 March 2026.
This study introduces an innovative interpenetrating layered structure, comprising alternating aramid nanofiber (ANF) layers and MXene layers, fabricated through a directional freeze–thaw intercalation–gel‐film formation strategy. Unlike traditional homogeneous layered films, this unique layered structure features mutually embedded conductive and ...

Work in Progress: Use of Wood‐Based Inserts in Injection Molding

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
The study investigates the suitability of wood‐based mold inserts for the production of small series in polymer injection molding, showing that specially modified materials like laminated beech and compressed bamboo are more promising than natural woods. The results indicate that reproducible components can be produced with these tools. ABSTRACT In the

Interfacial Chemistry Behind Damage Monitoring in Glass Fiber‐Reinforced Composites: Attempts and Perspectives

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 2925-2954, 20 February 2026.
Role of the modifications at the interface in glass fiber reinforced composites for damage monitoring. ABSTRACT Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymers (GFRPs) are widely used in structural applications but degrade over time due to internal damage. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) enables early damage detection, improving reliability and reducing maintenance
