Fiber metal laminates (FMLs) comprised of metal alloy and composite materials have been
extensively applied in a broad range of engineering structures in virtue of their outstanding …

Weight reduction and improved damage tolerance characteristics were the prime drivers to
develop new family of materials for the aerospace/aeronautical industry. Aiming this …

Composite materials, in most cases fiber reinforced polymers, are nowadays used in many
applications in which light weight and high specific modulus and strength are critical issues …

With the advent of high performance thermoplastic polymers, structural applications for
thermoplastic composites are increasing rapidly. Thermoplastic matrix composites possess …

This paper reviews fiber metal laminates (FMLs) with a focus on hybrid titanium composite
laminates (HTCLs). FMLs are high-performance hybrid structures based on alternating …

The use of lightweight materials has become more prevalent as transport vehicle
manufacturers strive to reduce vehicle weight to improve performance, to lower fuel and oil …

Composites can be defined as materials that consist of two or more chemically and
physically different phases separated by a distinct interface. The different systems are …

Fiber-reinforced polymer composites are often assessed by measuring void content via
thresholding of optical microscope cross-sectional images, relying on contrast to differentiate …

Abstract Polyamide-6 (PA6)/carbon fiber (CF) composites were prepared by melt-extrusion
via continuous fiber fed during extruding. The mechanical, thermal properties, and …

In this study, aceclofenac-loaded IPN nanocomposites were developed based on natural
polysaccharides namely chitosan (CS) and locust bean gum (LBG) using glutaraldehyde as …
