Technologies in additive manufacturing for fiber reinforced composite materials: a review
Publication date: June 2020Source: Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering, Volume 28Author(s): Palanikumar K., Mudhukrishnan M., Soorya Prabha P.The increase in demand and high product diversification range with reduced unit quantities leads to the innovation of flexible and digitized production. The emerging concept, like Additive Manufacturing (AM), is extensively used to make a prototype with insufficient mechanical strength. For addressing this problem, advancement in the production of Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) composites is introduced in AM. At present, the significant challenges are there in this area in exact ...

Experimental characterization of polymeric membranes for selective ion transport
Publication date: June 2020Source: Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering, Volume 28Author(s): Geoffrey M GeiseIon selective separations are becoming increasingly important in many water and energy applications. Ion exchange membranes could address these separation challenges, but advanced understanding of the structure-property relationships that connect polymer chemistry and membrane morphology to selectivity properties is needed. Membrane-based ion separations can be driven by concentration or electric field driving forces, and selectivity is generally defined as counter-ion to counter-ion selectivity or counter-ion to...

Modeling mass transport in dense polymer membranes: cooperative synergy among multiple scale approaches
Publication date: June 2020Source: Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering, Volume 28Author(s): Matteo Minelli, Giulio C SartiThe modeling description of basic transport phenomena of either liquid, gas or vapor molecules in dense polymeric membranes is of tremendous impact for the separation industry, which relies on solid models for the design of optimal process conditions, for the selection of the most suitable membrane materials as well as for the development of novel ones. Such models need to deal with several physical aspects and phenomena, spanning over broad time and length scales, thus requiring multiple approaches...

Recent progress in laser additive manufacturing of aluminum matrix composites
This article covers emerging researches on particle-reinforced AMCs fabricated by LAM techniques. The current research status is reviewed from the perspectives of powder preparation, microstructure characterization and mechanical properties. The microstructure evolution of AMCs is discussed in depth and the formation mechanism of in situ phase is analyzed. In addition, different strengthening mechanisms of AMCs are studied in detail. The last part summarizes the merits and demerits of AMCs and proposes the existing problems and future research directions.Graphical abstract (Source: Current Opinion in Chemical Engineering)
