Polypropylene (PP) is a versatile polymer with numerous applications that has undergone substantial changes in recent years, focusing on the demand for next-generation polymers. This article provides a comprehensive review of recent research in PP and its advanced functional applications. The chronological development and fundamentals of PP are mentioned. Notably, the incorporation of nanomaterial like graphene, MXene, nano-clay, borophane, silver nanoparticles, etc., with PP for advanced applications has been tabulated with their key features and challenges. The article also conducts a detailed analysis of advancements and research gaps within three key forms of PP: fiber, membrane, and matrix. The versatile applications of PP across sectors like biomedical, automotive, aerospace, and air/water filtration are highlighted. However, challenges such as limited UV resistance, bonding issues, and flammability are noted. The study emphasizes the promising potential of PP while addressing unresolved concerns, with the goal of guiding future research and promoting innovation in polymer applications. Graphical Abstract

E‐glass/epoxy prepregs are undisputedly a great advancement in processing and fabrication technology. They offer immense advantages over conventional composite manufacturing processes in terms of waste reduction and efficient manufacturing times. These prepregs are used in several industries including but not limited to automobile, construction, defense and aerospace. Their versatility and wide applicability however is shadowed by intricate storage and handling requirements. Prepregs usually need to be stored at below freezing temperatures and hence lose their chemical integrity during transportation if not handled properly leading to a lot of wastage and scrap generation. Therefore, it is essential to develop a rigorous regime in order to determine the shelf‐life and usability of these prepregs. Hereby, we report an extensive experimental design for assessing shelf‐life of commercially available prepregs using techniques like DSC and IR and corelating the findings with mechanical data. The degree of pre‐cure increased to 30% as a result of exposure to moisture over prolonged time and a substantial decrease in mechanical strength was observed. The shelf‐life was found to be about 7 weeks and a strong agreement between analytical and mechanical data was observed.Highlights Analysis of prepreg aging under ambient and accelerated storage conditions.

Prediction of composite materials failure is a valuable resource for ensuring structural integrity of aerospace structures. For the experimental part of the study, the sandwich specimens were fabricated using two aluminum cores, a Nomex core sandwiched between tool-facing and bag-facing sheets. A damaged slot was introduced and thereafter repaired with filler and repaired plies on the tool-facing sheet. The bonded-repaired sandwich composite facing sheet specimens were tested using a four-point bending setup under static loading conditions. A Multiscale Modelling (MSM) approach was developed to characterize the failure of a bonded-repaired sandwich composite tool-facing sheet. The MSM approach bridged three different length scales such as micro, meso and macro scales. The data processing and information transfer between the scales was facilitated by Visual Basic Applications scripts. Comparisons of micro, meso and micro-scale results were presented for both MSM and experimentation to validate the proposed MSM failure characterization approach. Numerical and fractographical results from MSM and experimentation matched very well for all three scales. In conclusion, the MSM failure characterization approach performed well against the experiment. It presents an opportunity to use an alternative composite materials failure characterization method for future research.
