Efficient thermal management in polymers is essential for developing lightweight, high-strength materials with multifunctional capabilities.
The disclosure is directed to optimized fiber geometries for use in carbon fiber reinforced polymers with increased compressive strength per unit cost. The disclosed fiber geometries reduce the material processing costs as well as increase the compressive strength.

We tested 48 diverse homologs of SfaB and identified several enzyme variants that were more active than SfaB at synthesizing the nylon-6,6 monomer.
By engineering the Serine Integrase Assisted Genome Engineering (SAGE) genetic toolkit in an industrial strain of Aspergillus niger, we have established its proof of principle for applicability in Eukaryotes.
A novel and cost-effective process for the activation of carbon fibers was established.

V-Cr-Ti alloys have been proposed as candidate structural materials in fusion reactor blanket concepts with operation temperatures greater than that for reduced activation ferritic martensitic steels (RAFMs).
A novel method that prevents detachment of an optical fiber from a metal/alloy tube and allows strain measurement up to higher temperatures, about 800 C has been developed. Standard commercial adhesives typically only survive up to about 400 C.
We present a comprehensive muti-technique approach for systematic investigation of enzymes generated by wastewater Comamonas species with hitherto unknown functionality to wards the depolymerization of plastics into bioaccessible products for bacterial metabolism.
The microreactor design addresses the need to understand molten salt-assisted electrochemical processes at a controlled scale, enabling real-time observation of structural changes and kinetics.
