The energy crisis has arisen as the most pressing concern and top priority for policymakers, with buildings accounting over 40% of global consumption. Currently, single-function envelopes cannot satisfy efficiency next-generation buildings. Designing high mechanical robustness, thermal insulation properties, more functionalities attracted worldwide attention. Further optimization based on bioinspired design material improvement been adopted effective approaches to achieve satisfactory...
Abstract Battery safety has attracted considerable attention worldwide due to the rapid development of wearable electronics and steady increase in production use electric vehicles. As battery failures are often associated with mechanical‐thermal coupled behaviors, protective shielding materials excellent mechanical robustness flame‐retardant properties highly desired mitigate thermal runaway. However, most insulating not strong enough protect batteries from abuse, which is one critical...
Abstract Smart windows that can passively regulate incident solar radiation by dynamically modulating optical transmittance have attracted increasing scientific interest due to their potential economic and environmental savings. However, challenges remain in the global adoption of such systems, given extreme variability climatic conditions across different geographical locations. Aiming these issues, a methylcellulose (MC) salt system is synthesized with high tunability for intrinsic...
This study develops a novel self-sensing cement composite by simply mixing reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in cementitious material. The experimental results indicate that, owing to the excellent dispersion method, nucleation and two-dimensional morphological effect of rGO optimizes microstructure inside cement-based would increase electric conductivity, thermal property self-induction system material, making it much easier for material better warn about impending damage. use can improve...
The paper reports the viscous creep occurring in vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VA-CNTs). Nanoindentation experiments are conducted to characterize behaviour of nanotube materials. By recording instantaneous control stress and strain rate, rate sensitivity VA-CNT array is calculated. property found depend upon density arrays.
Cracks greatly impact the durability of concrete structures due to their influence on migration chloride ions and corrosion process steel bars. This study investigates effects transverse cracks diffusion behavior two types bars (low carbon resistant steel) in fly ash with 1 kg/m3 solution-polymerized super absorbent polymer. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used monitor chloride-induced concrete. The profile around tested via chemical titration. products area photographed measured...
