Nanomaterials for Clean Energy and Environmental Remediation
With the global focus on sustainability and climate resilience, the materials we use are undergoing a dramatic transformation. The most transformative of these are nanomaterials: engineered matter with dimensions between 1 and 100 nanometers. These tiny materials hold enormous potential, especially in the areas of clean energy production and storage, and environmental remediation. Their high…
What is Metal Matrix Composite (MMC)?
Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) represent a class of advanced materials composed of a metal matrix combined with a secondary phase—often ceramic fibers, particles, or whiskers—that significantly enhance the properties of the base metal. These engineered materials have garnered attention due to their ability to blend metallic ductility and toughness with the high strength, stiffness, and…
Natural Fiber Composites: A Sustainable Alternative in Material Design
As environmental concerns grow, industries around the world are seeking eco-friendly alternatives, and fibers have emerged as a viable alternative to synthetic materials. Inspired by renewable fibers such as hemp, jute, hemp, sisal, and kenaf, these hybrid fibers strike a balance between performance, sustainability, and affordability. They can reduce emissions, encourage the use of scrap…
