Enhancing Composite Toughness Through Hierarchical Interphase Formation
Thermoplastic fibers are deposited like cobwebs on top of rigid fibers to chemically form a supportive network with a surrounding matrix, or binder substance. The composites already have many good things going for them. They are also corrosion- and fatigue-resistant and can be tailored to meet specific industrial performance requirements. By using this simple, scalable and low-cost approach, we are able to increase the strength of the composites by almost 60% and its toughness by 100%.

One study estimates that bacterial antimicrobial resistance was responsible for 1.27 million global deaths in 2019. Phage therapy relies on the use of viruses that kill bacteria. In phage therapy, bacteriophages bind to a unique bacterial receptor. These components assemble and create new viruses, which are released by lysing the bacterial cell. Once all the bacteria are lysed, they’ll stop multiplying.
