Poly(L‐Lactide‐Co‐ε‐Caprolactone)/glass Fiber Composites: Toward Improved Mechanical Properties of Polylactide‐Based Composites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Enhanced impact strength in PLLA‐based composites via ε‐caprolactone incorporation in the matrix. ABSTRACT Inherent brittleness and limited toughness of polylactide (PLA) restrict its use in high‐performance applications. To overcome these limitations, poly(L‐lactide) (PLLA) is often blended with more ductile thermoplastics or chemically modified ...

Prediction of Cure‐Induced Wrinkles Aimed at the Manufacturing of Large Wind Turbine Blades

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
The step‐wise progression of the development of cure‐induced wrinkles. Before curing, at room temperature the laminate is resting at the mould face. In the next step, the wrinkle is developing due to thermal gradients. At the end of curing, the composite has cooled down and the undulation is left in, byt the increase in resin stiffness across the ...

On the Origins of Out‐of‐Plane Auxetic Response in Paper

open access: yesphysica status solidi (b), EarlyView.
Paper can be auxetic! Paper can exhibit a range of out‐of‐plane Poisson's ratio (PR) values. Examining handsheets made from hardwood (HW) and softwood (SW) fibers, of a variety of weights (1, 3, or 5 g) and refining degrees (none, R, or R+), showed that the sign and magnitude of PR can be finely controlled by modifying network parameters.

On the Damage Tolerance of Diffusion Bonded Titanium–Aluminum Phase Biomimetic Composites

open access: yesRare Metals, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The biomimetic design principles of natural structures involve the strategic integration of stiff and compliant phases to synergistically enhance strength and toughness. Its evolutionary refined natural armor, characterized by a specialized microarchitecture, enables superior damage tolerance.
