Since the creation of first man-made plastic, the global production and consumption of
plastics have been continuously increasing. However, because plastic materials are durable …

Polymer composites have become indispensable in modern engineering applications,
presenting a unique blend of qualities, including lightweight design, high strength, and …

The formation of microscopic cavities and microfibrils at stress hotspots in polymers is
typically undesirable and is a contributor to material failure. This type of stress crazing is …

The developments leading from the Hildebrand solubility parameter (1950) to the Hansen
solubility parameters (HSP)(1967) are discussed in the context of usage in coatings. Future …

The fabrication of metal halide perovskite films using the solvent-engineering method is
increasingly common. In this method, the crystallisation of the perovskite layer is triggered by …

Environmental stress failure of polymers (specifically glassy thermoplastics) is a major
failure mode in application end use. The environmental stress failure discussion will …

The advancement of polymer nano-composites has been motivated by the need for
materials with a specific combination of mechanical properties beyond those achieved from …
