Investigating Crack Resistance Behavior of Polypropylene Using J integral, J‐R Curve and Fractographic Analysis

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, the fracture response of polypropylene (PP) was assessed using J‐integral evaluation, J‐R curve construction, and fractography examination. J‐R and load–displacement curves were analyzed to determine critical loads and estimate J‐integral values based on standards established for polymer fracture testing, which led to the ...

Template‐Assisted 3D‐PVDF Nanonetworks for Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling

Nanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 13, 13 July 2026.
Three‐dimensional polyvinylidene fluoride (3D‐PVDF) nanostructures were fabricated by infiltrating the polymer into 3D anodic aluminum oxide (3D‐AAO) templates. Due to their high solar reflectance (82.4%) and infrared emissivity (96.7% between 8 and 13 µm), they are an ideal candidate for radiative cooling.

Characterization of Macro/Microstructure and Corrosion Resistance of Austenitic Gas Tungsten Arc Welding Cladding

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 11, 3 June 2026.
Cladding is a proven method that boosts the surface qualities of mechanical parts by applying a layer of more durable material over a base substrate. This work responds to the needs of offshore and pressure vessels sectors by focusing on cladding a super austenitic steel onto low‐carbon steel through gas tungsten arc welding.
