Abstract
This study investigates the fatigue delamination behavior of adhesive joints in epoxy carbon composite materials under Mode II fracture loading. The joints were characterized using the End-Notched Flexure (ENF) test, comprising adhesive joints formed by bonding two unidirectional carbon fiber epoxy matrix laminates with epoxy adhesive. These joints were subjected to different exposure periods (1, 2, 4, and 12 weeks) in a saline environment. Prior to dynamic fatigue testing, critical Mode II energy release rate values were determined through quasi-static tests, serving as a reference for subsequent fatigue characterization. This study aimed to comprehend how exposure duration to a saline environment affected the initial stage of fatigue delamination growth and employed a probabilistic model based on the Weibull distribution to analyze the experimental data. The results, gathered over a two-year experimental program, revealed varying behaviors in adhesive joint resistance to delamination based on exposure duration. A noteworthy reduction in fatigue strength capacity was observed, with fracture energies for infinite fatigue life reaching approximately 20% of their static loading capacity. This study sheds light on the deterioration of adhesive joints when exposed to a saline environment.

Abstract
This work analyses the fatigue delamination and fracture stress behaviour under mode I of adhesive joints made on an epoxy matrix composite material with unidirectional carbon fibre reinforcement and a commercial epoxy-based adhesive. DCB type tests (for mode I) were used with the aim to quantify the influence of the period of exposure to a degradation process in a salt spray chamber, to which the tested samples were subjected, on their fatigue behaviour. For this purpose and after a previous static characterisation of the material in which the critical values of the energy release rate for different exposure periods were determined, the levels of the energy release rate to be applied in the fatigue tests and the exposure periods to be considered (no exposure, exposure during one week and twelve weeks) and a ratio of fatigue stress levels of R = Gmin/Gmax = 0.1 were defined. From this experimental data, the G-N fatigue initiation curves and the G-da/dN growth curves were obtained. The experimental data obtained, in the fatigue initiation phase of the delamination process, have been treated by means of a probabilistic model based on a Weibull distribution, the application of models of these characteristics has allowed a better interpretation of the experimental results obtained. The most relevant result of the work is that, in general, the fatigue limits obtained for the adhesive joint, under mode I fracture, when subjected to a degradation process in a saline environment, do not translate into a relevant loss of its resistance capacity against this fatigue delamination phenomenon, in its initiation phase. On the other hand, the crack growth rates of the material subjected to different periods of exposure to a saline environment are similar and higher than those obtained for the material without exposure.

Abstract
New PET and nanosepiolite materials are produced for its application in innovative packaging with better performance. In our previous work, we demonstrate that the use of different percentages of sepiolite modified with different organosilanes improved mechanical and barrier properties of PET. Nanocomposites permeability can decrease up to 30% compared to that of pure PET and the mechanical analyses show that, although PET nanocomposites are more brittle than virgin PET, they are also harder. In the present work, we are going to study the properties of this innovative packaging with real food analyzing mechanical properties related to the product transport together with permeability and microbiological characteristics. At the same time, it has been seen that it is possible to lighten trays, which is very important both industrially and environmentally. On the other hand, a good quality packaging for food needs to ensure that organoleptic and physico-chemical characteristics of the product inside are not modified due to migration of any of the packaging material to the food itself. Results obtained in this work also show lower count of aerobic mesophilic bacteria and Enterobacteriaceae (EB), reducing the incidence of food contaminations by microorganisms.

Abstract
We report on the magnetic properties of a Ni(2+)-vermiculite intercalation compound from Santa Olalla, Huelva (Spain). This modified vermiculite was studied by means of DC and AC magnetic measurements. The existence of two maxima in magnetic susceptibility below 10 K was interpreted in terms of the Cole-Cole formalism as being due to spin-glass freezing in this material. The temperature, frequency and external magnetic field dependences of these anomalies located at temperatures around 2-3 K and 8-10 K in the imaginary part of the magnetic susceptibility, χ″, seem to suggest the existence of spin-relaxation phenomena between the magnetic moments of the Ni(2+) ions. A dynamic study of the relaxation processes associated with these phenomena considering the Cole-Cole formalism allows us to interpret the anomaly found at 2-3 K according to a law of activated dynamics, obtaining values for the critical exponent, ψν < 1, characteristic of a d = 2 spin-glass-like system, while the maximum observed in χ″ at 8-10 K can be described by means of a law of standard dynamics with a value of the exponent z of around 5, representative of a d = 3 spin-glass-like system.

Abstract
We study the phase diagram of repulsively interacting spin-1 bosons in optical lattices at unit filling, showing that an externally induced quadratic Zeeman effect may lead to a rich physics characterized by various phases and phase transitions. We find that the main properties of the system may be described by an effective field model, which provides the precise location of the phase boundaries for any dimension, in excellent agreement with our numerical calculations for one-dimensional (1D) systems. Thus, our work provides a quantitative guide for the experimental analysis of various types of field-induced quantum phase transitions in spin-1 lattice bosons. These transitions, which are precluded in spin-1/2 systems, may be realized by using an externally modified quadratic Zeeman coupling, similar to recent experiments with spinor condensates in the continuum.

Abstract
We study the influence of the quadratic Zeeman effect on the Mott-insulator phases of hard-core 1D spin-3/2 fermions. We show that, contrary to spinor bosons, the quadratic Zeeman coupling preserves an SU(2)⊗SU(2) symmetry, leading for large-enough quadratic Zeeman coupling to an isotropic pseudo-spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet. Decreasing the quadratic Zeeman coupling, this phase undergoes, depending on the scattering lengths, either a Kosterlitz-Thouless transition into a gapped dimerized phase or a commensurate-incommensurate transition into a gapless spin liquid. This rich phase diagram can be observed experimentally in four-component fermions in optical lattices under similar entropy constraints to those needed for Néel order in spin-1/2 gases.
