Thermophysical properties of a carbon-reinforced epoxy composite laminate (T700/M21 composite for aircraft structures) were evaluated using different innovative characterisation methods. Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Simultaneous Thermal analysis (STA), Laser Flash analysis (LFA), and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis were used for measuring the thermal decomposition, the specific heat capacity, the anisotropic thermal conductivity of the composite, the heats of decomposition and the specific heat capacity of released gases. It permits to get input data to feed a three-dimensional (3D) model given the temperature profile and the mass loss obtained during well-defined fire scenarios (model presented in Part II of this paper). The measurements were optimised to get accurate data. The data also permit to create a public database on an aeronautical carbon fibre/epoxy composite for fire safety engineering.

Exposure to mid-energy radiation poses significant health risks, necessitating the development of effective shielding materials. Traditional lead-based shields, while effective, have significant drawbacks including toxicity and environmental concerns. This study investigates the potential of lead-free epoxy resin nanocomposites, incorporating bismuth oxide, nickel oxide, and cerium oxide, for mid-energy radiation protection.

The anisotropic behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer composites, coupled with their susceptibility to various failure modes, poses challenges for their structural health monitoring (SHM) during service life. To address this, non-destructive testing techniques have been employed, but they often suffer from drawbacks such as high costs and suboptimal resolutions. Moreover, routine inspections fail to disclose incidents or failures occurring between successive assessments.

The impact of light radiation, a predominant energy release mechanism in nuclear explosions, on material properties is of critical importance. This investigation employed an artificial light source to replicate the effects of nuclear explosion radiation and utilized a physical information neural network (PINN) to examine the temperature evolution and corresponding changes in the mechanical properties of carbon fiber/epoxy composites (CFEC). A light source simulating nuclear explosion's light radiation was built to irradiate the CFEC, then measure the reflection spectrum and temperature of samples.

As three-dimensional (3D) printing has emerged as a new manufacturing technology, the demand for high-performance 3D printable materials has increased to ensure broad applicability in various load-bearing structures. In particular, the thixotropic properties of materials, which allow them to flow under applied external forces but resist flowing otherwise, have been reported to enable rapid and high-resolution printing owing to their self-standing and easily processable characteristics. In this context, graphene nanosheets exhibit unique π-π stacking interactions between neighboring sheets, likely imparting self-standing capability to low-viscosity inks.

Pitting corrosion caused by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) significantly shortens the lifespan of metallic pipelines. Antibacterial coatings containing S-responsive drug-loaded nanocontainers represent a promising method to mitigate SRB corrosion. However, the challenge of balancing rapid bactericide release with continuous antibacterial effect limits their practical application.
