Abstract Utilization of industrial waste to produce geopolymer concrete is a good answer to minimize the carbon-dioxide( Co2) released from the traditional procedure of producing Ordinary Portland cement (OPC). This not ...

Industrial symbiosis offers a critical pathway for advancing resource circularity and energy efficiency in hard-to-abate sectors. As the steel and cement industries undergo profound structural transformation toward low-c...

Lignin, the most abundant aromatic polymer from nature, represents a promising feedstock for sustainable functional materials. Yet its intrinsic structural heterogeneity and broad molecular weight distribution limit its ...

Abstract A promising approach for constructing visible-light-responsive photocatalysts with superior activity is realized through the surface grafting of wide-band-gap semiconductors with earth-abundant elements. Consequ...

Hybrid aluminum 6061 composites reinforced with various forms of magnesite-white (WM), dead-burnt magnesite (DBM), and lightly calcined magnesite (LCM)-in combination with carbon fiber (CF) were developed through the sti...

This study employs molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to systematically investigate the effects of the degree of polymerization (DP 10, 20, and 35) on the mechanical and tribological properties of nitrile butadiene rubb...

Rechargeable all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) are considered as promising candidates for next-generation energy storage due to their high energy density and excellent safety performance. However, the low ionic conductiv...

Rechargeable magnesium-lithium hybrid batteries (MLHBs) are promising for energy storage applications due to their high volumetric energy density, enhanced safety, and reliable performance. However, the advancement of ML...

The performance of asphalt mixtures modified with 7% and 10% waste tire and solid natural rubber is assessed in this study, along with the effects of replacing fine aggregate with these materials. According to binder tes...

BackgroundSleep disruption(SD) has been shown to amplify inflammatory signaling and promote pain hypersensitivity, but how inflammation interacts with brain functional alterations to drive pain sensitization remains uncl...

Abstract This study investigates the influence of graphene nanoparticle (GNP) reinforcement on the fatigue behavior of textile structural composites with unidirectional (UD), two-dimensional (2D) satin, and three-dimensi...

Co-doped titanium dioxide materials were successfully synthesized by the sol–gel method. Molybdenum was incorporated into all materials at 0.5 wt %, while the co-dopants, copper and cobalt, were added at 0.2–0.5 wt %...
