Influence of CNT Reinforcement and Fiber Orientation on the Mechanical Performance of Woven Kevlar/Epoxy Composites

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are widely used as nanoscale reinforcements in polymer composites because of their high stiffness, high aspect ratio, and ability to enhance interfacial stress transfer. In woven Kevlar/epoxy composites, however, the mechanical benefit of CNT addition depe...

Living in Prison, Studying on Campus: Digital Challenges for Students in a UK Open Prison

This article examines the information behaviour of a group of students housed in an “open” prison in southern England and enabled to attend university during weekdays. This group faces unique challenges, unexplored in existing studies on incarcerated distance learners, as they ex...
