TL;DR: A high-performance, cotton-textile-enabled asymmetric supercapacitor is integrated with a flexible solar cell via a scalable roll-to-roll manufacturing approach to fabricate a self-sustaining power pack, demonstrating its potential to continuously power future electronic devices.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a small amount of graphene can minimize porosity/defects and reinforce PAN-based CFs, and large-scale molecular dynamics simulations jointly elucidate the ability of graphene to modify the microstructure by promoting favorable edge chemistry and polymer chain alignment.

TL;DR: In this article, in-situ high-temperature digital image correlation (DIC) and finite element simulation was used to reveal new critical delamination and fracture mechanisms of dense vertically cracked thermal barrier coatings (DVC TBCs).

TL;DR: In this article, a 3D-DIC-based method for in-situ probing of the residual stresses in air plasma spray (APS) coatings was proposed, which enabled extraction of surface profiles with accuracies of better than ± 8.8 μ m.

TL;DR: The simulations unveiled that high carbonization temperature accelerated the kinetics of graphitic phase nucleation and growth, leading to the decrease in strength and ductility but increase in modulus.
