Polymer composites have become one of the most widely used and beneficial materials in modern industries due to their desirable structure, light weight, high strength, and flexibility. The positive role of these polymer composites is largely dependent on the size, structure, and dispersion phase of the reinforcing phase. In this article through a systematic review the influence of various parameters on the mechanical properties of polymer composites is analyzed, considering reinforcements based on ferrocene and ferrocene containing compounds. Different types of reinforcements, including fine particles (micro and nano), fibers (natural and synthetic), and two dimensional nanomaterials (such as graphene and inorganic compounds), have been investigated.
The innovative role of reinforcements based on ferrocene and their derivatives is discussed in detail, highlighting their potential to simultaneously enhance mechanical, thermal and flame-retardant properties. The reinforcement mechanisms, including effective load transfer strong interfacial bonding, and crack bridging are described. Furthermore hybrid composites, which utilize a combination of multiple reinforcements to achieve superior properties, are reviewed. Analysis of recent studies indicates that ferrocene derivatives, with their unique sandwich structure, significantly improve interfacial adhesion through strong π-π interactions and surface modification capabilities, often leading to a considerable increase in toughness and impact strength. Finally existing challenges and future perspectives including optimizing reinforcement dispersion and the development of smart ferrocene-based composites are discussed.

This study investigates the mechanical properties of aluminum alloys AlSi10Mg and AK9ch fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM), taking into account the build orientation (longitudinal, transverse, 45°) and applied heat treatment regimes (stress-relieving annealing, T6 treatment, prolonged aging). A comprehensive tensile test program was conducted to determine ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and hardness. Results show that SLM-processed specimens significantly outperform conventionally cast AK9ch, especially after T6 treatment, achieving up to 285 MPa in strength with ~9% elongation. For the first time, it is demonstrated that the Russian casting alloy AK9ch is suitable for SLM technology, with post-treatment strength reaching 259 MPa and ductility ~5%, comparable to that of AlSi10Mg. The influence of build orientation was found to be negligible at high relative density (>99%). The findings confirm the potential of additive manufacturing to produce high-performance aluminum parts using domestic alloys, offering a promising path toward import-independent 3D production in Russia.

Influence of corn cob ash additive on the structure and properties of cement concrete

Аннотация
In accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) concept, there is a need to find technologies that would help make concrete production less energy intensive and more environmentally friendly. One technology involves substituting some mineral components in concrete with rapidly renewable plant-based alternatives. This study aims to establish the essential patterns among the concrete composition, micro-structure, and properties of cementitious composites modified with corn waste. Additionally, it seeks to explore the potential for producing high-quality composites using this waste material. To assess the effectiveness of this kind of waste, the strength of the cement-sand mortar, several characteristics like compressive strength, flexural durability and water absorption of hardened concrete were studied. It is established that introducing corn cob ash (CCA) to substitute a part of the cement up to 16% is justified and allows to obtain mortar and concrete with enhanced properties. CCA has a beneficial impact on the properties of Cement Sand Mortar (CSM) when replacing cement by no more than 15%. The maximum effect was achieved at 10% CCA, and the rise of compressive and flexural strength were 6.06% and 6.32%. In concrete with a CCA amount of 8%, the most impressive growth of compressive strength was 7.14%, and the lowest value of water absorption, which is 10.31% lower compared to the ordinary composition. Including CCA reduces the properties like workability, density of concrete mixtures, and the hardened composite density. The scientific results obtained prove the possibility of using CCA as an effective mineral pozzolanic additive that improves the properties of concrete.

Аннотация
The creation of an environmentally friendly building material to protect the human environment can only be carried out from the position of a transdisciplinarity approach, taking into account modern achievements in geomimetics and micromechanics of composite media. A wide range of basalt-fiber-reinforced concrete based on composite binders has been developed, which have increased characteristics of impermeability and durability under extreme operating conditions. The nature of the influence of the composition and manufacturing technology of cement composites on the pore structure of the composite has been established, which has a positive effect on the characteristics of gas, water and vapor permeability. High early strength was obtained, which allows the use of materials for operational repair and construction in emergency situations. The positive influence of the composition of the developed composite on the performances has been proved. The water resistance of the modified composite provides a water pressure of 2 MPa for 148 hours, which corresponds to the W18 grade (for the control sample – W8), the frost resistance grade – F300. It was found that the water absorption of the modified concrete samples was lower than that of the control sample, which is explained by the decrease in the pore structure index λ by 28.4 times, and the average pore diameter by 3.05 times. The total pore volume of the modified concrete was lower and decreased with increasing dose of nanosilica.
