With the development of ordnance technology, the survival and safety of individual
combatants in high-tech warfare are under serious threat, and the Personal Protective …

Structural health monitoring (SHM) of safety-critical composite components is essential to
ensure mechanical stasis and detect local damage before it can produce global failure. SHM …

An experimental study is performed to explore the low‐velocity impact (LVI) and self‐healing
behavior of carbon‐fiber‐reinforced‐polymer (CFRP) laminates reinforced by thermoplastic …

Interlaminar delamination in fiber-reinforced composites limits structural capacity and
service life. Delaminations, which occur subsurface and can lead to catastrophic failures, are …

Structural composites with smart functionalities of self-healing and self-sensing are of
particular interest in the fields of aerospace, automotive, and renewable energy. However …

We describe a simple and scalable method for incorporating thermoplastic agents into fiber
reinforced polymers (FRPs). Poly (ethylene-co-methacrylic acid)(EMAA) nanoparticles were …

Among the strategies to produce healable thermosetting systems is their modification by the
addition of thermoplastic particles. This work investigates the influence of poly (ethylene-co …

Self-healing materials, which can increase the lifespan of various types of products, have
been researched quite intensively in recent decades. In general, self-healing polymers and …

Self-healing materials offer a potential solution to the problem of damage to fibre-reinforced
plastics (FRPs) by allowing for the in-service repair of composite materials at a lower cost, in …

The recent developments in pseudo-ductility demonstrated the possibility of making
composites safe and suitable for high-performance applications. Repairing damage in …
