Carbon fibre reinforced polymer composites are broadly used in complex structures. Manufacturing of these structures requires joining composite parts with each other or with other materials. Adhesive bonding offers many advantages compared to mechanical fastening such as lightweight and homogeneous stress transfer. However, adhesive joints suffer from low fracture toughness and time- and labour-intensive processes preventing intensive use by the industry.

Antisolvent crystallization is a purification step that is widely used for the recovery of heat-sensitive compounds in pharmaceutical or agrochemical applications. An antisolvent like ethanol reduces the solubility of the targeted compound (such as amino acid in water) and allows it to transform into a solid crystalline form when it reaches supersaturation state. Crystal characteristics such as shape and size can impact some properties such as flowability, compatibility, dissolution, and absorption rate of a drug, for example, in the blood steam.

The coastal ocean, covering a mere 8% of Earth's surface and 0.2% of the global ocean volume, plays a pivotal role in human activities and is thus crucial for study. These domains have to deal with large aspect ratio domains where the horizontal length scales can reach several thousands of kilometers while the depth is generally of the order of one kilometer or smaller.

Press hardenable steels (PHS) coated with Al-Si alloy are widely used in the automotive industry owing to their good mechanical properties (YS > 1200 MPa and TS > 1500 MPa). The presence of Al-Si coating prevents oxidation and decarburization of steel during austenitization. It has been found that aluminized PHS are more sensitive to hydrogen absorption during austenitization in comparison to uncoated PHS.
