  Kevlar broken samples from dynamic stabbing zoomed-in! Research project "Dynamic/quasi-static stab-resistance andmechanical properties of soft body armourcomposites constructed from Kevlar fabrics andshear thickening fluids" published by Jianbin Qin, Guangcheng Zhang, Lisheng Zhou, Jiantong Li and Xuetao Shi, investigated how different quantities of shear thickening fluid (STF) affect the knife-stabbing resistance and the quasi-static mechanical properties of kevlar composite samples. This collage shows photographs and SEM images of broken samples from the dynamic stabbing tests. (a), (d), (g) and (j) are theneat Kevlar fabric; (b), (e), (h) and (k) are the composite with 36.23 wt% STF; (c), (f), (i) and (l) are the composite with 103.79 wt% STF. The results show that the shear thickneing fluid positively influenced the properties of the samples! Source:managing composites #composites #kevlar #project #reinforcedplastics

The researchers converted light energy into chemical fuel. A team of scientists from the University of South Carolina (UofSC) and Florida State University (FSU) have discovered a way to convert light energy into chemical fuel in a lab, successfully producing hydrogen fuel by mimicking photosynthesis. The researchers pursued the idea of using simple molecules to mimic photosynthesis. In their study, the scientists combined two molecules. One was a photoredox catalyst, for instance a catalyst that can move electrons with light. The other was naphthol, which is a fluorescent organic compound. These combined molecules were exposed to light and each molecule absorbed a photon and then worked together to produce hydrogen fuel. They did this by mimicking a process that is referred to as the Z-Scheme in natural photosynthesis. Florida State University Associate Professor of Chemistry Ken Hanson and University of South Carolina Associate Professor of Chemistry Aaron Vannucci both participated i

In a three-year agreement, South Korean car giant Hyundai Motor Group will provide more than 1,000 hydrogen fuel-cell systems to a German manufacturer of environmentally friendly vehicles. According to the agreement, Hyundai Motor Group will provide 1,100 hydrogen fuel-cell systems for environmentally friendly trash and transport trucks to be made by Enginius, a division of German automaker Faun Group, the firm said in a statement. According to Faun Group, the second half of 2023 will see the installation of Hyundai’s 90-kilowatt hydrogen fuel-cell systems in its Bluepower garbage and Citypower cargo vehicles. Hyundai unveiled a brand for its fuel cell technology in January 2021. Its name is HTWO, which is an acronym for the hydrogen molecule H2. The company started constructing the HTWO Gwangzhou hydrogen fuel-cell systems plant in March of last year with the intention of starting production of 6,500 units annually in 2023. The Korean automobile conglomerate will be the sole owner of
