This work studies the fabrication of CoCrFeNiMo high-entropy alloy (HEA) coatings via coaxial powder-fed laser cladding, addressing porosity and impurity issues in conventional methods. The HEA coatings exhibited eutectic/hypereutectic microstructure...

This paper reports on the anisotropic optoelectronic properties of aligned poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) nanowire (NW) arrays fabricated via blade coating and UV irradiation, exhibiting a remarkably high electrical resistance anisotropy ratio of up t...

When iron sulfides are used as aggregate in concrete production, it easily oxidizes to form harmful substances such as sulfates. This results in acid corrosion and internal sulfate attack (ISA), significantly reducing concrete durability. To date, th...

Cu matrix composites, because of their high mechanical strength, are often used as conductors in high-performance electrical applications. These composites are manufactured through thermomechanical processing, which introduces a high density of parti...

The aim of this study is to systematically investigate the influence of hydrophobic aerogel on the performance of aerogel cement-based expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulation board (ACEPS board) under freeze–thaw cycles (FTCs) and to predict its...

The rapid proliferation of electronic devices has heightened the demand for efficient electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials, as conventional alternatives increasingly fall short in mitigating harmful electromagnetic radiation. In thi...

This research investigates whether metakaolin can be used as a partial substitution for slag to mitigate significant volume changes in alkali-activated slags. Its effect on compressive strength and workability (as well as on isothermal calorimetry, a...

Currently, research on the modification mechanisms of activated rubber/SBS (styrene–butadiene–styrene) composites and the microscopic processes involved remains limited. To investigate the impact of the rubber activation treatment combine...

In this study, high-belite Portland cement clinker was successfully prepared by using low-grade limestone and solid-waste calcium carbide slag and steel slag, achieving resource utilization while reducing CO2 emissions caused by raw materials decompo...

Cyanoacrylate-based adhesives have gained increasing attention in dentistry for their rapid polymerization, biocompatibility, and antimicrobial activity. This review analyzes the clinical use of cyanoacrylate adhesives—particularly the Glubran...
