usually in the form of short fibres or particles, provides some stiffening but only local strengthening of the material. The matrix, on the other hand, is the main load-bearing constituent governing the mechanical properties of the material. In the case of high-performance structural composites, ...

Floppiness, rigidity, and multi-stability often represent inherently contradictory macroscopic properties in solids. Here, authors introduce an all-in-one metamaterial that capitalizes on local state transitions to harmonize these divergent properties within a single transformable architecture. ...
Structures that utilize materials such as aluminum, glass, fabric, and composites as primary structural elements are often unfamiliar to typical structural engineers, they require a specialty engineer familiar with their performance limitations and design criteria. These materials, as structural elements, ...
PLP Labs, the research arm of London-based PLP Architecture, has been experimenting with mycelium bio-composites as a sustainable alternative to traditional building materials. While fungi-based materials have been used in packaging and evento create synthetic...
To demonstrate the validity of surface chemical modification in the brick-and-mortar structure, the mechanical properties of the all-natural bioinspired structural materials are then systematically studied and compared to those of the composites without APTES pretreatment or Ca2+ crosslinking. As shown ...

and introducing active lithium storage materials within the void spaces—for example, replacing the Si nanoparticles with microsized Si in the yolk-shell-structured Si/C composites, creating much denser packing of Si anodes with the aid of the high-pressure press technique, and growing metal-oxide...
Hypocrystalline ceramic aerogels with a zig-zag architecture show high thermal stability under thermal shock and exposure to high temperature, providing a reliable material system for thermal insulation at extreme conditions. Jingran Guo ,Shubin Fu ...
velocity. During extensional flow, the polymer chains are stretched and aligned parallel to the flow direction, which results in an increase in the degree of molecular orientation in the composites; this is stretch-induced orientation. As a result, fiber shaping and orientation were dominated by ...
