Predictive Assessment of Progressive Damage in Mechanically Fastened Glass–Epoxy Composites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Progressive damage in mechanically fastened glass–epoxy composites. ABSTRACT Ensuring the structural integrity of advanced composites necessitates precise methodologies for forecasting the onset and progression of damage. This research focused on the predicting progressive damage (PD) for riveted joints composite laminates employing a combined ...

From Wind Turbine Blades to Recycled Glass Fibers: Analytical Modeling and Lab‐Scale Recycling Protocol

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Lab‐Scale Composite Dissolution Experiments were used for Prediction of Dissolution Duration. ABSTRACT Glass fiber‐reinforced thermosets are widely used in wind turbine blades. However, recycling these materials remains challenging because thermoset matrices cannot be remelted, and high‐temperature processes degrade glass fibers.

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part I Reproducibility of diet inference using different instruments

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2442-2454, September 2026.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has become a well‐established method for dietary inference and reconstruction in both extant and extinct mammals and other tetrapods. As the volume of available data continues to grow, researchers could benefit from combining published data from various studies to perform meta‐analyses.

REGENERATIVE AND BIO-BASED MATERIALS FOR SHEET MOLDING COMPOUNDS (SMC)

open access: yes, 2017
This paper deals with the replacement of conventional filler materials for Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) by bio-based filler materials. By replacing the conventional fillers, the processability of the semi-finished product could be obtained, mechanical properties were almost the same while density of the resin paste could be reduced by 18%.

Biomimetic Vascular Scaffold with Seamless Electrospun Aligned Nanofiber Conduit and 3D‐Printed Coil Reinforcement

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 30, 14 August 2026.
We introduce a new fabrication method that overcomes the current limitation of tubular gap electrospinning. We successfully fabricated a seamless hollow tube with fibers aligned along the longitudinal axis in diameters as small as 300 µm, and then reinforced it using 4‐axis 3D printing.

Spontaneous Helical Alignment of Smooth Muscle Cells to Form a Medial Layer for Engineered Microvasculature

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 27, 17 July 2026.
Spontaneous helical alignment of smooth muscle cells is induced within resistance‐vessel‐sized channels patterned within a hydrogel. The extent of the cells’ orientation angle is dependent on the presence and composition of ECM proteins lining the channel wall and cell seeding density.
