Raman spectroscopy was employed to investigate the structural evolution of porous carbon materials derived from hemp fibers through steam-assisted carbonization at temperatures of 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, and 900°C (K s...

For the structural health monitoring of composite materials, data analysis technology must be very sophisticated, capable of detecting fault patterns that are multi-level and complicated. A comprehensive deep learning pa...

Reducing embodied carbon in the built environment requires reliable methods to assess structural materials, particularly steel, one of the most carbon-intensive. While environmental product declarations (EPDs) provide st...

With the increasing demand for enhanced mechanical properties and energy release capabilities in energetic structural materials, traditional materials struggle to concurrently achieve both high mechanical properties and ...

Waterproof dam concrete’s permeability stability in goaf waterlogged environments critically impacts coal mine safety and groundwater sustainability. Underwater immersion, weak infiltration pathways are formed at the j...

The colour of birds' plumage is due to the presence of pigments as well as to frequency selective structural effects produced by the interaction of light with the photonic microstructure that constitutes the feather barb...

Despite the great success of hybrid CH3NH3PbI3 perovskite in photovoltaics, ascribed to its excellent optical absorption properties, its instability toward moisture is still an insurmountable drawback. All-inorganic pero...

The aim of this paper is the comparison of structural, morphological and electrical properties of thermally extended graphite synthesized by chemical oxidation of graphite with sulfur of nitric acids at all other same co...
