Electrospun Nanofibres for Load‐Bearing Composite Materials—A Review of Techniques, Mechanical Properties and Durability

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 5, Page 3917-3945, 10 March 2026.
Electrospun nanofibre for load‐bearing composite materials. ABSTRACT Electrospun nanofibres are emerging nanomaterials prized for their scalability, high surface area to volume ratio and yield. Their effectiveness in improving the mechanical properties of fiber reinforced composites is widely reported. Nanofibres could activate multiscale toughness and

Energy retrofit with prefabricated timber-based façade modules: pre- and post-comparison between two identical buildings

Journal of Facade Design and Engineering, 2023
The introduction of prefabrication into the building façade retrofit market is still difficult due to many financial, economic, and social constraints, as well as technical and performance requirements that differ from those of new construction.

The dimensional stability of glass-fibre reinforced Polyamide 66 during hydrolysis conditioning [PDF]

, 2009
Injection moulded glass-fibre reinforced polyamide 66 composites based on two glass fibre products with different sizing formulations and unreinforced polymer samples have been characterised both dry as moulded and during conditioning in a water-glycol ...

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

Computational analysis of hygrothermal performance of renovation renders [PDF]

WIT Transactions on Engineering Sciences, 2010
A combined computational-experimental approach for service life estimate of surface layers of historical building made from renovation renders is presented in the paper. The experimental part is aimed at estimation of the durability of two commercial systems of double layered renovation renders in terms of their frost resistance. The computational part

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

Balancing Sustainability and Performance: Bio‐Based Epoxy Systems for Durable Flax Fiber‐Reinforced Composites

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 3154-3172, 20 February 2026.
Bio‐based epoxy systems enabling sustainable, durable, and high‐performance flax fiber composites. ABSTRACT Three bio‐based epoxy systems—Polar Bear, Green Turtle, and Plankton—featuring bio‐carbon contents of 28% to 70%, were combined with recyclable (Recyclamine R101) and non‐recyclable hardeners to produce flax fiber‐reinforced biocomposites.

Hygrothermal Analysis of Masonry Wall with Reed Boards as Interior Insulation System

Energies, 2020
When the masonry walls of buildings under heritage protection need to be restored and thermally improved, the only option is to use an interior insulation system. This is also the riskiest method of insulating walls in cold climates.
