In a study conducted over 10 years ago (Petkovsek and Dular, 2013)[1] we noticed that the
thin metal sheet sustains less cavitation damage when it is attached to an acrylic glass …

The limited interfacial combination between CF and polymer matrix caused by the chemical
inertness of CF surface greatly restricts the protective capability of carbon fiber reinforced …

Abstract Development of fifth‐generation technology leads to a growing demand for
materials with exceptional thermal property, mechanical strength, and low dielectric loss …

Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) coating and UHMWPE‑copper
(UHMWPE-Cu) coatings with different copper content were fabricated using a sintering …

This study investigates the efficacy of eco-friendly Bi-Sn-doped basalt fiber reinforced
polymer (BFRP) epoxy composites in seawater environments and its mechanical durability …

We herein report the influences of glass fibers (GFs) on the thermal stability and long-term

Erosion of tidal turbine blades in the marine environment is a major material challenge due
to the high thrust and torsional loading at the rotating surfaces, which limits the ability to …

Polymer materials possess low density, high strength, corrosion resistance, and excellent
cavitation erosion resistance. As a result, they are widely used in marine, water …

Morphology and development of surface damage of alumina-based materials, resulting from
cavitation erosion is studied in this paper. Two series of samples were prepared: samples …

Two types of polymer waste materials, poly (ethylene terephthalate)(PET) and
polycarbonate based Colombian Resin (CR-39), were used for the designing of fully …
