Membrane filtration experiments revealed that the removal capabilities of the materials for cobalt ions depended on the membrane's thickness, flow rate and initial concentration of Co II) ions.
In order to evaluate the effect of the manufacturing process in energy absorption capability of the material, the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and the specific energy absorption (SEA) capability of the material have been characterised.
Crack growth rates (da/dN) have been correlated with stress intensity factor range (∆K) to quantify the damage tolerance capability of the material.
Subsequently, the areas to be filled on each layer are determined according to the input contours and the self-supporting capability of the material.
Surprisingly, results clearly show that insoluble salts enhance the water progression and thereby increase the capability of the material to uptake water.
Interlaminar shear strength and specific energy absorption capability of the material have been characterised in order to analyse the effect of the fibre content.
The capability of the material and structural model is examined by a comparative study with numerical data available in the open literature for laminated SMA beams.
Moreover, a large discharge capacity of 94.7 mAh g⿿1 is obtained at the 20C rate highlighting excellent rate capability of the material.
Doping modification is a very effective approach that can not only enhance the stability of the crystal structure but also improve the rate capability of the material [8, 9].
As a core in the composite, the N-CNT with N functionalization provides a highly conductive and mechanically flexible framework, enhancing the electronic conductivity and consequently the rate capability of the material.
