Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Polymer composites have been rapidly developed and widely used in various fields with advantages of high strength, light weight, corrosion resistance, heat insulation, insulation and so on. Looking at the higher requirements for the performances of polymer composites year by year, this Special Issue is intended to collect the most recent research studies as well as in-depth reviews on the recent progress and future trends of polymer composites including design, fabrication, characterization and applications. 

Topics include but are not limited to:

  • All the functional and structural polymer composites
  • Short, long or continuous fibers reinforced polymer composites
  • Particles or sheets reinforced polymer composites
  • Multiscale polymer composites from nanoscale to macroscale
  • Composites with specific internal structures such as orientation, lamination, porous, etc.
  • Fabrication and processing of polymer composites
  • Microstructural Characterization of polymer composites
  • Measurement of mechanical, electrical, thermal, chemical and other performances
  • Polymer composites for various application such as aerospace, biomedicine, energy, additive manufacturing, etc.
  • Polymer composites for complicated and extreme environments.

Abstract
We report on the formation of the field-effect transistor based on a polyyne–polyene structure. Polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) drop casting and its subsequent dehydrochlorination in KOH solution allowed for the formation of porous polyyne–polyene material, which was analyzed via transmission electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared [...] Read more.
We report on the formation of the field-effect transistor based on a polyyne–polyene structure. Polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) drop casting and its subsequent dehydrochlorination in KOH solution allowed for the formation of porous polyyne–polyene material, which was analyzed via transmission electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy, revealing the presence of sp- and sp2-hybridized chained fragments in the structure. The polyyne–polyene-based field-effect transistor showed a transconductance of 3.2 nA/V and a threshold voltage of −0.3 V. The obtained results indicate that polyyne–polyene-based transistors can be used as discrete elements of molecular electronics and that subsequent studies can be aimed toward the development of selective polyyne–polyene-based gas sensors with tunable sensitivity.

This paper reviews the findings in the area of fatigue damage assessment and lifetime prediction of short fiber reinforced polymer composites (SFRPs) under cyclic loading. It is shown that the direct methods of microstructure/damage inspection are the most sensitive and informative, while micro-computed tomography (μ-CT) is more laborious and possesses limitations in sample dimensions. Although the sensitivity of the indirect methods can vary, the most common one is based on stiffness reduction. It is shown that developing models of fatigue processes is impossible without assessing the degree of damage. The latter can be determined by stiffness reduction, the development of creep, or energy dissipation. Since fatigue mechanisms can differ, the most complete information can be obtained by combining these methods. The prediction results for fatigue life models based on plastic strain development showed the greatest agreement with the experimental results in comparison with other prediction models. In addition, some tasks are highlighted as the priority directions for the development of SFRPs and non-destructive testing (NDT) methods for their monitoring under fatigue. Full article

Asphalt is widely employed in road construction due to its durability and ability to withstand heavy traffic. However, the disposal of waste polymers has emerged as a significant environmental concern. Recently, researchers have used polymer waste to modify asphalt pavements as a new approach. This approach aims to improve pavement performance and address the environmental concerns of polymer waste. Researchers have demonstrated that incorporating polymeric waste into asphalt mixtures can lead to performance improvements in asphalt pavements, particularly in mitigating common distresses including permanent deformation and thermal and fatigue cracking. The current comprehensive review aims to summarize the recent knowledge on the usage of waste polymers in asphalt mixtures, encompassing their impact on performance properties and mixture design. The review also addresses different types of waste polymers, their potential benefits, challenges, and future research directions. By analyzing various studies, this review offers insights into the feasibility, effectiveness, and limitations of incorporating waste polymers into asphalt mixtures. Ultimately, this contributes to the advancement of sustainable and environmentally friendly road construction practices. Full article
