Fabric-layered composites play a crucial role in safety and surveillance applications, making it imperative to accurately predict their impact behavior. This research focuses on creating a machine-learning model to predict the impact behavior of fabric-stacked composites, specifically carbon and Kevlar fabrics. Low-velocity impact tests were performed with varying parameters, and the impact energy and laminate thickness information were used to train machine-learning models to predict impact pro

o-Carboranyl–Phosphine as a New Class of Strong-Field Ancillary Ligand in Cyclometalated Iridium(III) Complexes: Toward Blue Phosphorescence
Tae‐Won Kim, Junseong Lee, Sang Uck Lee, Min Hyung Lee
SJR Q2Organometallics

Heteroleptic tris-cyclometalated Ir(III) complexes supported by the o -carboranyl–phosphine ligand ( CBP ), (C ∧ N) 2 Ir( CBP ) (C ∧ N = ppy ( 1 ), dfppy ( 2 )), have been synthesized and characterized. The PL spectra of 1 and 2 displayed substantially blue shifted phosphorescence relative to the corresponding Ir(C ∧ N) 3 complexes. Electrochemical and theoretical studies showed that the CBP ligand functioned as a strong-field ancillary ligand, and the greater HOMO stabilization in comparison to

Abstract Conventional solid electrolyte frameworks typically consist of anions such as sulphur, oxygen, chlorine, and others, leading to inherent limitations in their properties. Despite the emergence of sulphide, oxide, and halide‐based solid electrolytes for all‐solid‐state batteries, their utilization is hampered by issues, including the evolution of H 2 S gas, the need for expensive elements, and poor contact. Here, we first introduce Prussian Blue analogue (PBA) open‐framework structures as

Metal–Support Interaction Can Deactivate IrOx/Sb:SnO2 OER Catalysts in Polyol Process
Hansaem Jang, Jeong‐Hyeon Lee, Jeon Ryang Lee, Tae‐Won Kim
SJR Q1ACS Applied Energy Materials

Only a few materials can remain undissolved under working conditions for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acidic media, which limits the choice of catalysts and supports. One of the practical catalyst/support candidates is IrOx/Sb:SnO2 (Ir/ATO) because both components are thermodynamically stable under low-pH anodic conditions. Moreover, between Ir and ATO, a strong metal–support interaction is present, thereby allowing for long-lasting OER activity unless the support degrades. However, we

Determination of Impact Damage in CFRP via PVDF Signal Analysis with Support Vector Machine
Hyun-Taik Oh, Jong-Ick Won, Sung-Choong Woo, Tae-Won Kim
SJR Q2MaterialsOA

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) have high specific stiffness and strength, but they are vulnerable to transverse loading, especially low-velocity impact loadings. The impact damage may cause serious strength reduction in CFRP structure, but the damage in a CFRP is mainly internal and microscopic, that it is barely visible. Therefore, this study proposes a method of determining impact damage in CFRP via poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) sensor, which is convenient and has high mechanical
