Carbon fiber-reinforced composite laminates are progressively appealing for several
applications in various manufacturing sectors such as aeronautical and automobile …

The orientation of fibers in polymer matrix plays a crucial role in governing the performance
of composites including friction and wear. In the present work, the effect of fiber orientation …

The increasing demand for electrical energy and the difficulties involved in installing new
transmission lines presents a global challenge. Transmission line cables need to conduct …

In the present work, scratch tests were conducted to study the surface deformation behaviour
of additively manufactured continuous carbon fibre (CF) reinforced polyamide 6 (PA6) …

To investigate the scratch behavior of short glass fiber (SGF) reinforced polybutylene
terephthalate (PBT) composites, the scratch tests with the progressively increasing normal …

The work is devoted to modification of UV-curable coatings with mixtures of POSS
functionalized with octa (methacryloxy)(8M-POSS) or octa (fluoroalkyl)(8F-POSS) …

In this paper we present a numerical and experimental study on the overlay repair of scratch
damage in carbon-fiber/epoxy composite laminates. The scratch damage severs several …

As an excellent ceramic precursor, polysilazane could be cured at low temperatures, which
provided a possibility for the preparation of thermal protective coatings for carbon fibers …

Background: Clinical success depends on the contact strength and wear resistance of
medical devices made of polymer materials. The scientific goal resulted from the problem of …

Composite structures in practice can be subjected to various types of damage such as
abrasion with sharp objects. This damage can result in gouges or damage resembling deep …
