Adhesive patch repair technique has been identified as an effective and economical approach to repair damaged polymer composite structures that are used in aerospace, automotive, marine, wind energy, and many other high-performance engineering applications.

Although lightweight and strong, polymer composites require careful handling in environments where temperatures shift. Their usefulness in fields like aviation, vehicle manufacturing, and electronic devices comes from customizable heat behavior alongside favorable mechanical traits.

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are considered to be one of the most universal categories of advanced engineering materials owing to their unique properties such as outstanding strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, fatigue durability, and wide opportunities for design.

The escalating global plastic pollution crisis has intensified the urgent need for sustainable biodegradable polymer alternatives that can match or exceed the performance of conventional petroleum-based plastics while minimizing environmental impact.

Plant health assessment is crucial for agricultural production and food security, as plant diseases significantly affect crop yields and quality.

Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are smart materials capable of tuneable stiffness and damping under applied magnetic fields.
