Asphalt road–pavements are sensitive to water ingress, which degrades the bitumen aggregate adhesion, promoting failure. The effects of on a range asphalt systems have been quantified using peel tests. binder an aluminium backing was peeled from fixed arm and fracture energy determined. In dry conditions, failure cohesive within bitumen, but became mainly interfacial between after immersion in water. effect adhesion three aggregates (limestone, marble granite) evaluated. Acidic (granite)...
Printing techniques could offer a scalable approach to fabricate thermoelectric (TE) devices on flexible substrates for power generation used in wearable and personalized thermo-regulation. However, typical printing processes need large concentration of binder additives, which often render detrimental effect electrical transport the printed TE layers. Here, we report screen-printing layers fiber glass fabrics, by rationally optimizing inks consisting particles (p-type Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 or n-type...
A full ocean biomass-derived hydrogel photothermal evaporator, composed of chitosan as the hydratable skeleton and cuttlefish ink material, achieves a rapid evaporation rate 4.1 kg m −2 h −1 under one sun irradiation.
Amorphous Si (a-Si) nanostructures are ubiquitous in numerous electronic and optoelectronic devices. materials considered to possess the lower limit thermal conductivity (κ), which is ∼1 W·m–1 K–1 for a-Si. However, recent work suggested that κ of micrometer-thick a-Si films can be greater than 3 K–1, contributed by propagating vibrational modes, referred as “propagons”. precise determination has been elusive. Here, we used structures nanotubes suspended enabled in-plane (κ∥) measurement...
Nanocomposites containing nanoscale materials offer exciting opportunities to encode features into macroscale dimensions, which produces unprecedented impact in material design and application. However, conventional methods cannot process nanocomposites with a high particle loading, as well the ability be tailored at multiple scales. A composite architected mesoscale strategy that brings loading combined multiscale including manipulation, architecture, formation create spatially programmed...
Retention of plasma-implanted D is studied in W targets damaged by a Cu ion beam at up to 0.2 dpa with sample temperatures between 300 K and 1200 K. At plasma fluence 1024/m2 on samples K, the retained retention inventory 4.6 × 1020 D/m2, about ∼5.5 times higher than undamaged samples. The drops 9 1019 D/m2 for 1000 consistent onset vacancy annealing rate sufficient overcome elevated damage; damage temperature nearly equal values seen materials. A nano-scale technique provides thermal...
Abstract Thermal diodes are passive systems that modulate their thermal resistance depending on the direction of temperature gradient, thereby allowing preferential directional heat flow. A dual phase diode consists a junction between two change materials have opposing temperature‐dependent conductivity trends, and whose performance (i.e., rectification ratio) is related to ratio conductivities different phases. In this work, with ≈3.5 for an applied bias ≈40 K presented, which among...
The herbicide alachlor (2-chloro-2′6′-diethyl-N-methoxymethylacetanilide) has been known as a probable human carcinogen, and the MCL (minimum contamination level) for drinking water set at 2 μg L-1. Therefore, advanced methods effectively removing it from are matter of interest. Catalyzed ozonation is promising method refractory organics degradation. Cu/Al2O3 catalyzed degrading an endocrine disruptor (alachlor) in was investigated. Experimental results showed that can be enhanced by...
Abstract Humidity control is relevant to many processes in buildings and manufacturing responsible for over 600 million tons of CO 2 annually. As such, desiccants that can efficiently remove moisture from air greatly reduce emissions. A new class desiccant materials, thermo‐responsive desiccants, has been increased interest the literature. These materials are generally based on polymers exhibit a temperature‐dependent isotherm, an attribute small traditional desiccants. In this work, seven...
The management of the abundant eggshell biowaste produced worldwide has become a problematic issue due to generated odor and microorganisms after direct disposal in landfills. Herein, we propose new method convert hazardous valuable resources for energy applications. Eggshell-based films are fabricated by embedding powders into polymer matrix achieve highly efficient subambient daytime radiative cooling. Benefiting from Mie scattering particles/air pores solar spectrum strong emission...
