Metamaterials are artificially created materials or structures with properties not found in nature. They encompass electromagnetic, acoustic, and mechanical metamaterials, which are particularly significant in applied engineering. Mechanical metamaterials exhibit unique mechanical properties such as vanishing shear modulus, negative Poisson’s ratio, negative compressibility, etc. This paper reviews the most commonly used mechanical metamaterials and discusses their applications in the field of applied engineering, specifically in vibration isolation, energy absorption, and vibration reduction. The prospects for future developments in this field are also presented.

Concrete faces the difficulties of low tensile strength and poor crack resistance in building structures. In order to remedy this deficiency. In this paper, steel-polypropylene hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (SPFRC) was prepared by adding steel fiber (SF) and three kinds of polypropylene fiber (PF) to C50-grade concrete. The mechanical properties and microstructure of SPFRC were studied with different fiber combinations and content, obtaining the best hybrid combination. Based on this, the bending resistance and cracking of SPFRC beam members were investigated. The results demonstrate that the addition of fiber improves the compressive strength of ordinary concrete by 0.16% ∼ 17.69%, the splitting tensile strength by 15.18% ∼ 47.45%, and the bending strength by 3.54% ∼ 26.77%. Compared with single-fiber concrete, the hybrid fiber can achieve better internal microstructure, which further enhances the mechanical properties of the material. Hybrid fibers overlap within concrete beams, effectively redistributing stress and inhibiting the formation and propagation of cracks. For the three types of SPFRC beams, the cracking load is increased by 14.29% ∼ 28.57% compared with PC beam, the ultimate bearing capacity is increased by 9.68% ∼ 19.35%. The optimal dosage is determined as 1.0% SF, 0.6% Embossed polypropylene fiber (PBF). It provides reference for the application of SPFRC in flexural members.

Sawdust, a solid waste generated during stone processing, poses a serious threat to the environment with its untreated accumulation. This paper first analyzes the chemical composition and physical properties of sawdust, and discusses its mechanism of action in cement mortar. By systematically optimizing the blending ratio and modification method of sawdust, the sawdust-modified cement mortar with excellent performance was prepared. This study evaluates the key performance indicators of sawdust-modified cement mortar, such as compressive strength, flexural strength, and durability, through a series of experiments. The experimental results indicate that the incorporation of an appropriate amount of sawdust significantly enhances the mechanical properties of cement mortar, while also improving its durability, particularly in terms of freeze-thaw resistance. Microstructural analysis reveals the mechanism by which sawdust improves the pore structure of cement mortar; the active components in the sawdust react with the hydration products of cement, resulting in the formation of crystalline structures with higher strength.Therefore, the use of sawdust as a modifier in cement mortar can improve its mechanical properties and durability, while simultaneously reducing the accumulation of solid waste and promoting the sustainable development of building materials.

The cracking of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is well known to promotes the chloride diffusion, accelerates the corrosion of reinforcement embedded in RAC. To reveal the mechanism of chloride diffusion in RAC under cracking, a multiphase mesoscopic model for chloride diffusion in RAC was proposed. It should be noted that RAC is regarded as eight-phase composite materials consisting of coarse aggregate, reinforcement, new and old mortar, new and old interface transition zones (ITZ), cracks, and damage zones. The effects of the width and depth of cracks and damage zones on chloride diffusion behavior in RAC after cracking were further investigated. The numerical simulation results show that the damage zones accelerate the chloride diffusion and exacerbates the accumulation effect of chloride at the crack tip. Compared to the crack depth, the crack width of RAC has a small effect on chloride diffusion behavior, especially, the crack width is less than 50 µm. More importantly, the chloride diffusion streamline generated by numerical simulation reveals the mechanism of cracks promoting chloride diffusion. The research in this paper provides new insights into the durability design of RAC by revealing the diffusion behavior of chloride ions in RAC.

In this study, Co3O4 nanoparticles were used as nanocatalyst for two different series of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds, including pyrrole (Pyo) derivatives and pyrano [2, 3-c]pyrazole (Pya[2, 3-c]Pyz) derivatives. In the synthesis of derivatives, using 15 mol% and 10 mol% of the catalyst for Pyo derivatives and Pya[2, 3-c]Pyz derivatives, respectively, an efficiency between 83% and 96%, were observed. In addition, novel derivatives of Pyo and Pya[2,3-c]Pyz were synthesized and their structures were confirmed. In general, the advantages of using cobalt nanoparticles compared to previous reports include the synthesis of new derivatives, lower temperature used in the synthesis of derivatives, shorter synthesis time and high efficiency. The biological properties of the synthesized products, such as antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties, were tested and investigated. In antibacterial and antifungal tests, IZD, MIC, MBC, and MFC were measured and reported. In antioxidant activity, IC50 was calculated and reported. High reusability, green and environmentally friendly, synthesis of new derivatives and synthesis of products with higher efficiency and shorter time were the important benefits of using cobalt nanoparticles as a catalyst. In antioxidant tests, the IC50 for synthesized Pyo derivatives and Pya[2, 3-c] Pyz derivatives were between 12.2 and 13.71 μg/mL, and 16.18–17.75 μg/mL, respectively. In antimicrobial testes, the MIC for synthesized Pyo derivatives and Pya[2, 3-c]Pyz derivatives were between 2 and 4,096 μg/mL, and 2–2048 μg/mL, respectively. The results showed that the antioxidant property of Pyo derivatives were more than Pya[2, 3-c] Pyz derivatives, but the antimicrobial effect of Pya[2,3-c] Pyz derivatives were more than Pyo derivatives. The antioxidant results proved that the activity of Pyo derivatives and Pya[2, 3-c] Pyz derivatives does not depend on the substitutions of the derivatives and is close to each other. Therefore, based on this, a proposed mechanism for stability of DPPH by Pyo derivatives and Pya[2, 3-c] Pyz derivatives were suggested. Finally, based on the more stable resonance structures of Pyo derivatives, compared to Pya[2, 3-c] Pyz derivatives, its high antioxidant property was justified. Pya[2, 3-c] Pyz derivatives has two heterocyclic rings connected together pyrano and pyrazole, but Pyo derivatives has only one heterocyclic ring (pyrrole). So high antimicrobial property of Pya[2, 3-c] Pyz derivatives compared to Pyo derivatives can be attributed to having two bioactive heterocyclic rings.

The dynamic modulus of asphalt mixture is an important factor in the design of asphalt pavement, and many scholars have proposed different models for estimating the dynamic modulus of asphalt mixture, but there are almost no studies on the prediction of the dynamic modulus of semi-flexible materials. In order to analyze and estimate the dynamic modulus of semi-flexible materials, we set up a high-performance cementitious paste (HPCP) semi-flexible material and a reference group Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA-16) under multiple conditions, first measured its dynamic modulus in the laboratory, and analyzed the dynamic modulus characteristics of the material, and then used the equation the estimation equation proposed by Witczak et al. (Witczak1-37A) as a benchmark to introduce a new parameter, grouting mass ratio (Pb) to develop a Witczak-G prediction model to compare and validate the predicted dynamic modulus with the measured values. The results show that compared with SMA-16, HPCP semi-flexible material exhibits higher dynamic modulus and lower phase angle, and its temperature sensitivity and deformation resistance are significantly better than those of SMA-16. Under the influence of porosity and Pb factor, the dynamic modulus is positively correlated with both factors, and the phase angle increases first and then decreases, showing strong elastic properties. In this paper, we propose a dynamic modulus prediction model based on viscosity and Pb, Witczak-G, which predicts the highest coefficient of determination (R2) of the predicted dynamic modulus as high as 0.99 after initial fitting and validation, which indicates that the Witczak-G model is suitable for predicting the dynamic modulus of semi-flexible materials injected with HPCP.

Neat high-temperature vulcanized silicone rubber (HTV SR) showed bad hydrophobicity due to the existence of a large number of inorganic reinforcing fillers on its surface, which affected its security application in outdoor insulation systems. In this work, hydrophobic silane chains were grafted onto the surface of inorganic particles on the skin layer of HTV SR by a one-step coupling modification to improve its hydrophobicity. The effects of coupling agent types and coupling reaction conditions on the hydrophobicity of HTV SR were investigated. It was determined that the perfluorooctane trichlorosilicon with a large number of low surface energy fluorine atoms was the preferred coupling agent. The contact angle of HTV SR was increased by 15.70% when the optimal coupling reaction conditions were determined to be a reaction temperature of 60°C, a reaction time of 4 h, and an amount of coupling agent of 0.5%. The study found that both etching reaction and grafting reaction occurred during the whole coupling modification process, which led to the disappearance or decrease of a lot of holes on the HTV SR surface. After the fluorination coupling reaction, the surface of HTV SR became smooth and dense that led to the decrease of water absorption. The result of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis showed the formation of C-F bond in HTV SR after fluorination modification, and the energetic dispersive spectroscopy analysis showed that the fluorine content on the surface of the fluorinated HTV SR increased significantly. Moreover, the stability analysis showed that the fluorinated HTV SR still had a good thermal stability and mechanical property stability.
纯净的高温硫化硅橡胶（HTV SR）由于表面存在大量无机增强填料，因此憎水性较差，影响了其在室外隔热系统中的安全应用。在这项工作中，通过一步偶联改性将疏水性硅烷链接枝到 HTV SR 表皮层的无机颗粒表面，以改善其疏水性。研究了偶联剂类型和偶联反应条件对 HTV SR 疏水性的影响。结果表明，具有大量低表面能氟原子的全氟辛烷三氯氢硅是首选的偶联剂。当最佳偶联反应条件确定为反应温度为 60°C、反应时间为 4 小时、偶联剂用量为 0.5%时，HTV SR 的接触角增加了 15.70%。研究发现，在整个偶联改性过程中，既发生了蚀刻反应，又发生了接枝反应，使 HTV SR 表面的孔洞大量消失或减少。氟化偶联反应后，HTV SR 表面变得光滑致密，从而降低了吸水性。傅立叶变换红外光谱分析结果表明，氟化改性后 HTV SR 中形成了 C-F 键，而能谱色散分析表明，氟化 HTV SR 表面的氟含量显著增加。此外，稳定性分析表明，氟化 HTV SR 仍具有良好的热稳定性和机械性能稳定性。

In this work, hydrophobic silane chains were grafted onto the surface of inorganic particles on the skin layer of HTV SR by a one-step coupling modification to improve its hydrophobicity. The effects of coupling agent types and coupling reaction conditions on the hydrophobicity of HTV SR were investigated. It was determined that the perfluorooctane trichlorosilicon with a large number of low surface energy fluorine atoms was the preferred coupling agent. The contact angle of HTV SR was increased by 15.70% when the optimal coupling reaction conditions were determined to be a reaction temperature of 60°C, a reaction time of 4 h, and an amount of coupling agent of 0.5%. The study found that both etching reaction and grafting reaction occurred during the whole coupling modification process, which led to the disappearance or decrease of a lot of holes on the HTV SR surface. After the fluorination coupling reaction, the surface of HTV SR became smooth and dense that led to the decrease of water absorption. The result of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis showed the formation of C-F bond in HTV SR after fluorination modification, and the energetic dispersive spectroscopy analysis showed that the fluorine content on the surface of the fluorinated HTV SR increased significantly.

Clear aligner therapy is a rapidly developing orthodontic treatment. 3D-printing technology, which enables the creation of complex geometric structures with high precision, has been used in dentistry. This article aims to summarize the various aspects of 3D-printing clear aligners and give an outlook on their future development. The traditional thermoforming technology is introduced and the principle and application of 3D-printed clear aligners and materials are introduced, as well as the application prospects of 3D-printed clear aligners. According to PRISMA statement, the relevant literature of 3D-printing clear aligner was searched in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and other databases. We searched the related words in the MESH database and then carried out advanced searches. We read systematic review and conference papers to find the articles related to the subject and manually added and excluded articles by reading the title and abstract. The production of clear aligners combines computer-aided 3D analysis, personalized design and digital molding technology. The thickness and edges of the 3D-printed clear aligner can be digitally controlled, which allows appliance more efficiently fitted. Presently, the array of clear resins suitable for 3D-printing include photo polymeric clear methacrylate-based resin (Dental LT) (Form Labs, Somerville, Mass), aliphatic vinyl ester-polyurethane polymer (Tera Harz TC-85) (Graphy, Seoul, South Korea). They all have good biocompatibility. But no such material is currently approved on the market. Developing biocompatible resins and further improving the material’s mechanical properties will be critical for the combination of 3D-printing and clear aligners. However, the literature on 3D-printed clear aligners is limited and lacks clinical application. Further in vivo and in vitro tests, as well as additional exploration in conjunction with corresponding cytological tests, are required for the research on available materials and machinery for 3D-printing clear aligners.
透明矫治器疗法是一种发展迅速的正畸治疗方法。三维打印技术可以高精度地创建复杂的几何结构，目前已被应用于牙科领域。本文旨在总结3D打印透明矫治器的各个方面，并对其未来发展进行展望。在介绍传统热成型技术的基础上，介绍了3D打印透明矫治器的原理、应用和材料，以及3D打印透明矫治器的应用前景。根据PRISMA声明，在PubMed、Web of Science、Embase等数据库中检索了3D打印透明对齐器的相关文献。我们在 MESH 数据库中检索了相关词，然后进行了高级检索。我们阅读了系统综述和会议论文，找到了与主题相关的文章，并通过阅读标题和摘要手动添加和排除了文章。透明矫治器的生产结合了计算机辅助三维分析、个性化设计和数字成型技术。三维打印透明矫治器的厚度和边缘可以通过数字控制，从而使矫治器更有效地安装。目前，适合三维打印的透明树脂包括光聚合物甲基丙烯酸酯基透明树脂（Dental LT）（Form Labs, Somerville, Mass）、脂肪族乙烯基酯-聚氨酯聚合物（Tera Harz TC-85）（Graphy, Seoul, South Korea）。它们都具有良好的生物相容性。但目前市场上还没有此类材料获得批准。开发生物相容性树脂并进一步提高材料的机械性能，对于 3D 打印和透明对齐器的结合至关重要。然而，有关3D打印透明矫治器的文献资料非常有限，而且缺乏临床应用。需要进一步进行体内和体外测试，并结合相应的细胞学测试进行更多探索，以研究用于三维打印透明对齐器的可用材料和机械。
