Strong Lead‐Free Bioinspired Piezoceramics for Durable Energy Transducers
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We fabricated brick‐and‐mortar lead‐free piezoceramics with Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3 monocrystal platelets as bricks and amorphous silica as mortar. The alignment of the bricks and the presence of the amorphous silica led to anisotropic residual stresses. These residual stresses increase the samples toughness, strength and durability while the brick alignment ...

Water exposure, tensile and fatigue properties of treated hemp reinforced vinyl ester composites
, 2018 Recently, due to the safety issue, the incorporation of fire retardant in natural fibre composites is becoming necessary. Nevertheless, since it is potentially utilised as low load bearing material, less work has been done on the fatigue properties and ...

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Adhesion of Wet Snow to Different Cable Surfaces [PDF]
Cohesion of snow and its adhesion to cable surfaces are the decisive factors for wet-snow shedding from power-line cables. Knowing the adhesive strength of snow is essential to predict when snow will shed and what consequences it will have on the ...

Bone‐Inspired Recyclable Composites for Damage‐Tolerant Circular Materials
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bone‐inspired architected composites are developed by combining osteon‐like reinforcements with a recyclable Elium thermoplastic matrix. The hierarchical architecture redirects cracks and promotes energy dissipation, while enabling recovery of intact, aligned, load‐bearing reinforcement units that retain their original stiffness, revealing a route ...
