Summary: The study demonstrates that the pre-treatment of nanofibers has a significant impact on the flow and shear behavior of lubricating oleogels. Oleogel based on chemically-prepared nanofibers is more sensitive to temperature and large shear deformations compared to oleogel based on mechanically-prepared nanofibers.

Summary: This study aimed to produce thermochromic composite filaments using poly(lactic acid) (PLA) as a matrix and two different thermochromic additives (red and yellow). By integrating different quantities of a thermochromic masterbatch into the PLA matrix through an extrusion process, thermochromic composite filaments with ratios ranging from 10 to 40 phr were produced. The physical, mechanical, thermal properties, and thermochromic behavior of the composite filaments were examined. The results showed that the thermochromic additives had minimal impact on thermal and mechanical properties, while revealing a two-phase separation between the matrix and the additives. Moreover, an increase in the ratio of thermochromic masterbatches led to more pronounced coloration and clearer color changes. The sample with 40 phr exhibited the most intense color and noticeable color change. Additionally, these thermochromic composite filaments can be used for 3D printing various prototype products.

Summary: The aim of this research is to enhance the impact strength of thermoplastic composites made from recycled carbon fiber. A novel multi-material, micro-scale hybridized and low-cost hybrid yarn was developed by blending aramid fibers with rCF and PA 6 fibers. The result showed that the inclusion of aramid fiber increased the impact strength by 70% compared to composites reinforced only with rCF.
