High-pressure laminates (HPLs) are widely utilized in interior applications but may have potential as exterior building facade coatings if suitably enhanced for weatherability. Nanoparticle additives are a promising approach to improving the durability and functionality of HPLs. This study aims to evaluate titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) and silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) nanoparticles incorporated into HPLs to determine if they impart properties for durable, functional exterior facades. Methods: HPLs were fabricated with 3.75 wt % TiO 2 and SiO 2 nanoparticles in the surface overlay. Industry-standard EN 438 tests characterized the quality, optical properties, and accelerated aging, including UV radiation, weathering, and thermal shocks. Properties were measured before and after aging to compare versus a standard HPL without nanoparticles. Nanoparticles not only increased initial solar reflectance but also caused color changes. After aging tests, nanoparticles did not sufficiently enhance durability compared to the standard HPL. While initial reflectance improved with nanoparticles, overall weatherability did not, indicating a need to optimize fabrication and nanoparticle selection. Although TiO 2 and SiO 2 nanoparticles increased initial HPL reflectance, the feasibility of durable facade coatings was not conclusively demonstrated. Further research should focus on ideal fabrication methods, nanoparticle types and concentrations, and performance in real-world conditions to facilitate adoption in building facade applications.

“…This microstructure includes the arrangement, distribution, and properties of both the matrix material and the filler particles. By analyzing the behavior of the RVE, one can derive effective macroscopic properties of the composite material, such as its elastic modulus, density, and other mechanical properties [49]. Ansys Material Designer ® was used to develop the RVE unit cells for each of the compositions and obtain the orthotropic properties.…”

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the use of natural fibers as reinforcements in composites. This trend is mainly driven by their eco-friendly nature and wide availability. The objective of this research is to explore the extensive potential of combining Banana Fiber with Tyre Rubber Particles (TRP) as elastomeric fillers in natural fiber composites, focusing primarily on their applications in the automotive and aeronautical industries, particularly in terms of acoustic response. To thoroughly investigate the acoustic properties of these innovative composites, numerical simulations were conducted using the Ansys harmonic acoustic analysis module. Experimental testing was also carried out using an impedance tube. A meticulous approach was taken to develop an orthotropic material model using the advanced Ansys 2022 R1\textsuperscript{\tiny\textregistered} Material Designer Module, enabling accurate predictions of the composites' behavior when subjected to various acoustic stimuli which is quite novel. The results obtained from the impedance tube experiments align remarkably well with the numerical simulation outputs, demonstrating the reliability of the numerical model in estimating the transmission loss of composite laminates—a crucial parameter for evaluating acoustic performance. The composite with 15 wt. \% of TRP content displayed the maximum transmission loss.

“…But its anti-penetration capacity for fragments and projectiles is relatively weak due to its porous structure and low density. Metallic [8], ceramic [9,10], and fiberreinforced composite materials [11] with high strength and toughness are more widely used for impact protection from projectiles and fragments. However, studies on composite structures containing both energy absorption layers and anti-penetration layers are still lacking due to the complex matching mechanisms of strength, stiffness, energy absorption, and anti-penetration performance between different layers.…”

A composite structure containing a metallic skeleton and polyurea elastomer interpenetrating phase was fabricated, and its anti-penetration performance for low-velocity large mass fragments was experimentally studied. The protection capacity of three polyurea was compared based on the penetration resistance force measurement. Results show that the polyurea coating layer at the backside improves the performance of the polyurea-filled spherical cell porous aluminum (SCPA) plate due to its backside support effect and phase transition effect, which are accompanied by a large amount of energy absorption. The frontal-side-coated polyurea layer failed to shear and provided a very limited strengthening effect on the penetration resistance of the interpenetrating phase composite panel. The filling polyurea in SCPA increased the damage area and formed a compression cone for the backside coating layer, leading to a significant stress diffusion effect. The anti-penetration performance was synergistically improved by the plug block effect of the interpenetrating phase composite and the backside support effect of the PU coating layer. Compared with SCPA, the initial impact failure strength and the average resistance force of the composite plate were improved by 120–200% and 108–274%, respectively.
