New Publication: Development and Characterization of Sustainable Smart Composites

We are pleased to share that our article titled "Development and characterization of sustainable smart composites reinforced with fibrillated cellulose and nickel-titanium alloy" has been published in the prestigious journal "International Journal of Biological Macromolecules" (Q1, Impact Factor: 8.2, CiteScore: 14.5) of Elsevier, one of the world's largest and leading scientific publishers.

In this article, smart composites were developed as a result of the synergistic effect of fibrillated cellulose (FC), a sustainable biomaterial, and nickel-titanium (NiTi) alloy, a metallic material, and their effects on performance properties were investigated. In general, it is concluded that FC/NiTi-reinforced composites show significant improvements in mechanical (yield strength, modulus of elasticity, stiffness, and impact energy), electrochemical corrosion, shape-memory, and self-healing properties. These smart composites can be used in the aerospace and automotive industries.
