A Concise Review of Recent Advancements in Carbon Nanotubes for Aerospace Applications.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted significant attention in the scientific community and in the industrial environment due to their unique structure and remarkable properties, including mechanical strength, thermal stability, electrical conductivity, and chemical inertness. Despite their potential, large-scale applications have been limited by challenges such as high production costs and catalyst contamination. In aerospace applications, CNTs have demonstrated considerable promise either in the form of thin layers or as reinforcements in polymer and metal matrices, where they enhance mechanical, thermal, and electromagnetic performance in lightweight composites.

Performance Restoration of Chemically Recycled Carbon Fibres Through Surface Modification with Sizing.

The recycling of Carbon Fibre-Reinforced Polymers (CFRPs) is becoming increasingly crucial due to the growing demand for sustainability in high-performance industries such as automotive and aerospace. This study investigates the impact of two chemical recycling techniques, chemically assisted solvolysis and plasma-enhanced solvolysis, on the morphology and properties of carbon fibres (CFs) recovered from end-of-life automotive parts. In addition, the effects of fibre sizing are explored to enhance the performance of the recycled carbon fibres (rCFs).

A Comprehensive Review of Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Composite Materials.

The interaction between matter and microwaves assumes critical significance due to the ubiquity of wireless communication technology. The selective shielding of microwaves represents the only way to achieve the control on crucial technological sectors. The implementation of microwave shielding ensures the proper functioning of electronic devices.

Effect of Red Mud Addition on Electrical and Magnetic Properties of Hemp-Derived-Biochar-Containing Epoxy Composites.

Waste stream valorization is a difficult task where the economic and environmental issues must be balanced. The use of complex metal-rich waste such as red mud is challenging due to the wide variety of metal oxides present such as iron, aluminum, and titanium. The simple separation of each metal is not economically feasible, so alternative routes must be implemented.

The Italian law on body donation: A position paper of the Italian College of Anatomists.

In Italy, recent legislation (Law No. 10/2020) has tuned regulations concerning the donation of one's postmortem body and tissues for study, training, and scientific research purposes. This study discusses several specific issues to optimise the applicability and effectiveness of such an important, novel regulatory setting.
