“…Coupling geometric features at the micro-scale with conservation equations at the macro scale shows great potential in predicting the depth and precision of material properties . Multi-scale models have been widely used in various research fields because of their advantages of inferring macroscopic properties from micro-scale structures (He et al, 2019;Tian et al, 2021). The drying of porous materials can be regarded as a phenomenon of heat and mass transfer coupled with multiple physical fields, which is very suitable for multi-scale modeling (Farid, 2019).…”

The shrinkage characteristic of porous materials is an important consideration in the drying process, as it can significantly impact the texture of the dried product and energy utilization. This phenomenon is influenced by numerous factors, including the structure of the cells, drying conditions, and the glass transition temperature. To gain a deeper understanding of the drying process, it is necessary to develop theoretical models that account for the simultaneous heat and mass transfer processes at the cellular level, as well as simulation tools to analyze the associated changes in drying morphology. In this paper, we highlight several key factors affecting shrinkage during the drying of porous materials, and also outline drying modeling, morphological simulation, and drying technology design considerations to provide guidance for improving the drying quality of porous materials as well as energy conversion efficiency.

This paper aims to explore the potential of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in enhancing the structural capability and multifunctionality of carbon fiber composites in aerospace applications, primarily by focusing on interfacial applications. The conventional method of dispersing CNTs in a matrix is not fully efficient in exploiting the mechanical and multifunctional performance of CNTs. Hence, the use of CNTs at the interface or as a coating on the surface of carbon fibers has been suggested as a means of achieving multifunctionality, in addition to enhanced mechanical performance. The paper presents an overview of the various processes for growing CNTs on carbon fiber surfaces and examines the effects of CNT geometry and growth parameters on the properties of grafted fibers and their composites. Furthermore, it discusses the potential improvements in thermal and electrical conductivity achievable by incorporating CNTs at the interface, as well as the benefits of using CNTs as a sizing layer for carbon fibers, including enhanced fracture toughness and resistance to delamination.Highlights Comprehensive study of interface engineering in carbon fibers and Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRPs) using carbon nanotubes (CNTs). Improved transverse mechanical properties and overall thermal and electrical properties. Multifunctional applications possible with the use of CNT. Both experimental and numerical studies reviewed.
