Effect of Nano-Fillers on the Mechanical and Fracture Behavior of Polymer Composite Matrices: A Review
Abstract: The modification of polymer composite matrices through the incorporation of nano-scale fillers has become a prominent and highly effective strategy for enhancing mechanical performance, stiffness, and fracture resistance. Unlike conventional micro-scale reinforcements, nano-fillers possess exceptionally high surface area–to–volume ratios and unique physicochemical characteristics that significantly influence interfacial phenomena within the polymer matrix. Materials, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), nano-silica, and layered silicate nanoclays, introduce advanced toughening mechanisms …

Investigation of the Compatibility of Binary and Ternary Polymer Systems
Abstract: We have obtained mechanical strength of materials as a result not by synthesizing new polymers, but by using industrial polymers. We have developed a technology for obtaining new composite materials based on industrial multi-tonnage polymers of high-strength polyethylene (HSPE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane thermoplastic elastomer (DUTEP), butyl rubber (BR), chlorocarboxylate polyethylene (CCPE), ethylene propylene rubber (EPR). To obtain a composition from these polymers, their mixture compatibility was first determined using …

Psychological Impacts of Built Environments in Varied Office Types: A Survey–Literature Comparative Analysis
Abstract: Modern workplaces are no longer just places to sit and work – they are environments that shape how people think, feel, and perform every single day. A well-designed office can energize, calm, or motivate its users, while a poorly designed one can quietly drain their focus and well-being. This study examines how lighting, ventilation, acoustics, privacy, greenery, and spatial layout influence the psychological experience of office users. Insights from 20 …

Aromaticity-Guided Synthesis and Reactivity of Heterocyclic Compounds: Structural Insights and Applications
Abstract: The concept of aromaticity serves as a fundamental framework for understanding the structural and electronic characteristics of heterocyclic compounds, which play a crucial role in modern synthetic chemistry. Aromatic compounds, characterized by cyclic planar systems with delocalized π-electrons, follow the Hückel rule, conferring significant stability to heterocyclic structures. The incorporation of heteroatoms, such as nitrogen, oxygen, and sulphur, within these rings profoundly influences electron distribution, molecular reactivity, and synthetic pathways. …
