The development of multifunctional polymer composite systems for intelligent thermal energy storage has gained significant attention due to the increasing demand for sustainable and autonomous thermal management technologies.

This study investigates the system-level role of commercially available polymer composite materials in enabling lightweight and energy-efficient unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms integrated with edge artificial intelligence for real-time agricultural monitoring.

Increasing power demand and variable performance requirements in renewable-energy systems motivate integrating advanced polymeric and composite materials into microgrid components to improve reliability and performance.

The development of advanced metal matrix composites (MMCs) with enhanced tribological performance has become increasingly important due to the premature failure of critical engineering components operating under severe wear conditions in automotive, aerospace, marine, defense, and power generation systems.

Fabrication of large-scale and geometrically complex polymer-based advanced composites via fused deposition modelling (FDM) has been shown to be a promising technology for the production of such materials, however there are challenges in using short carbon fibre-reinforced polylactic acid (CF-PLA) which include obtaining high mechanical performance and maintaining dimensional accuracy with dynamic robot motion and complex interactions occurring between process parameters.

Recent developments in the field of polymer chemistry have resulted into many new forms of Hybrid polymer.
