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.
We have developed thermophilic bacterial strains that can break down PET and consume ethylene glycol and TPA. This will help enable modern, petroleum-derived plastics to be converted into value-added chemicals.
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.
Currently available cast Al alloys are not suitable for various high-performance conductor applications, such as rotor, inverter, windings, busbar, heat exchangers/sinks, etc.
The invented alloys are a new family of Al-Mg alloys. This new family of Al-based alloys demonstrate an excellent ductility (10 ± 2 % elongation) despite the high content of impurities commonly observed in recycled aluminum.
A novel and cost-effective process for the activation of carbon fibers was established.

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.
