This review summarizes recent work on manufacturing of different types of composites.
There is a great need to engineer multi-phase (ie, composite) materials that combine the …

Three-dimensional (3D) Printing with liquid crystalline polymers (LCP) enables the
production of high-strength parts, whereby the mechanical properties can be tailored to a …

In this study, multifilament fibers based on neat poly (lactic acid)(PLA), PLA/cellulose
nanowhiskers (CNW s), and PLA/cellulose microcrystalline (MCC) loaded at 1 and 3 wt …

We report the influences of aramid nanofiber (ANF) on the thermal stability and long-term
mechanical performance of thermotropic polyarylate (TPAR) nanocomposites. For this …

Additive manufacturing allows for the production of complex components using various
types of materials such as plastics, metals and ceramics without the need for molding tools …

Instrumental techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) constitute
well-studied methodologies for polymer characterization, including polymeric fibers …

Enhancing thermal conductivity coefficient (λ) of liquid crystal polyesters would further widen
their application in electronics and electricals. In this work, a kind of biphenyl-based …

Vectran® is a liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) with remarkable specific properties in its
commercial microfiber form. Even though it has been widely studied in the last few decades …

In this work liquid-crystalline polymer (LCP) nanocomposites reinforced with in-situ reduced
graphene oxide are investigated. Graphene oxide (GO) was first synthesized by the …

This study investigates the influence of three critical 3D‐printing parameters—layer height,
print speed, and extrusion temperature—on the mechanical properties of liquid crystalline …
