Architectural Tailoring and Reinforcement Strategies for Improved Bearing Strength in Thick Carbon Fiber/Epoxy Laminates

open access: yesPolymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 20, Page 18791-18811, 20 October 2026.
Schematic overview of the investigated laminate architectures and reinforcement strategies used to evaluate their effects on the bearing performance and failure behaviour of thick carbon fibre/epoxy laminates. ABSTRACT This study provides a unified experimental comparison of 11 joint configurations in thick (7–12 mm) vacuum‐infused CFRP laminates ...

Cooling Holes in Polymer Spur Gears: A Critical Analysis of Heat Dissipation Benefits and Mesh Stiffness Penalties

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 38, October 10, 2026.
Cooling holes provide a simple passive cooling strategy for polymer spur gears, reducing maximum operating temperature by up to 9.39% while introducing a measurable gear mesh stiffness penalty. A validated response‐surface model reveals how hole size and location govern this thermal–mechanical trade‐off, enabling design optimization for thermally and ...

Superlubricity and Corrosion Inhibition Properties of Solvate Ionic Liquids in Hybrid Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic–Steel Interfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 19, 7 October 2026.
Solvate ionic liquids lubrication reduced the coefficient of friction by ∼60% compared to dry sliding, reaching steady‐state values as low as 0.04–0.05. Corrosion weight‐loss measurements in 1 M HCl further demonstrated significant inhibition behavior, with only 100 ppm of [Li(G3)][TFSI] (∼68.5 μL/L) reducing corrosion‐product weight loss by 63 ...

Friction of Polymer/Steel Gear Pairs

open access: yes, 2008
Engineering plastics are often applied in tribological systems, where moving parts are subjected to severe friction and wear processes. Compared to metals engineering plastics are used because of their good friction and wear properties together with ...

Assessment of Human Exposure Risk From Microplastic Contamination in Commercially Important Fish Species Sold in Local Markets of Mawlamyine, Myanmar

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) contamination was investigated in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and gills of 238 fish representing eight commercially important species collected from retail markets in Mawlamyine, Myanmar. MPs were detected in the GIT and/or gills of all examined fish, corresponding to a prevalence of 100%.
