Coating the surface of steel structures with phosphohemihydrate gypsum fireproof mortar can improve the fire resistance of steel structures. The hydration curve of phosphorus hemihydrate gypsum (PHG) showed a monotonic increasing trend, and the hydration time was about 1 day. In order to study the hydration process of phosphorus hemihydrate gypsum fireproof mortar, its length change in the early hardening stage was experimentally investigated. The results showed that compared with the hydration time of phosphohemihydrate gypsum, the duration of early length changes in phosphohemihydrate gypsum fireproof mortar was significantly prolonged to about 4 days, and four intervals were clearly observed during this process. Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) as a water retaining agent, hydroxypropyl starch ether (HPS) as a thixotropic agent, and dispersed latex powder (LP) can all make the four intervals of length changes of fireproof mortar more significant. After adding HPMC, HPS, and LP, it can promote the formation of dihydrate gypsum mainly in fireproof mortar, but dihydrate gypsum crystals were more likely to grow along the [021] direction. The addition of additives can also effectively improve the pore structure of phosphogypsum fireproof mortar.

This study investigates the enhancement of concrete slabs using a biopolymer-modified cementitious repair material (CXT) composed of Ordinary Portland Cement, Xanthan Gum, and Tartaric Acid Powder. The innovative formulation of CXT aims to improve the mechanical properties of repaired concrete structures. Experimental results demonstrate that CXT significantly enhances mechanical properties such as the load-bearing capacity of concrete slabs. Non-destructive testing methods, including the Rebound Hammer test and Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity (UPV), as well as destructive testing methods, were employed to evaluate the performance of CXT in repairing cracks. The study highlights the improved load-bearing capacity and structural integrity of CXT-repaired slabs, contributing to increased longevity and reduced maintenance costs of concrete structures. Furthermore, the sustainability metrics of CXT, including Process Mass Intensity (PMI), Energy Intensity (EI), Environmental Factor (E-Factor), and Reaction Mass Efficiency (RME), are evaluated, illustrating its cost-effectiveness and environmental benefits. This comprehensive approach underscores the potential of CXT as a durable and sustainable repair material for concrete infrastructure.

Here, we have developed a photocatalytic reactor using glass capillaries which acts both as a flow cell and a thin film-supported photocatalyst due to the Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanostructures grown on the inner surface of the glass capillaries. The structural, morphological, elemental, and optical characteristics of the ZnO nanostructures were investigated through characterization methods such as x-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Energy-Dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), UV–Visible spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. Further, dye-sensitized ZnO nanostructures were used for photocatalytic application under visible light irradiation. A custom-made setup is developed using ZnO-modified glass capillaries for simultaneous decay and measurement of the dye degradation process under visible LED light. This developed model could have future technological applications in designing portable photocatalytic reactors that can accurately monitor the dye degradation process using real-time measurements.

Green materials are currently demanded for construction as well as other products since the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) in 2021. Using renewable and sustainable resources to innovate new materials such as composites is encouraged. This study aimed to investigate the physical and mechanical characteristics of wood plastic composites (WPCs) when adding waste tire rubber as filler for 10% or 20% by weight. The results showed that the density of the WPC samples (50 wt% wood − 50 wt% high density polyethylene) increased with the addition of the waste tire rubber (WTR) while the dimensional stability of samples was reduced. The mechanical properties of the WPC samples were determined, including flexural strength, flexural modulus, elongation at break, tensile strength, tensile modulus, and impact strength. The WTR as filler in the WPC tended to decrease the tensile strength and flexural strength whereas it improved the impact strength of materials. The results indicated that the WTR as recycled material in WPC affected the physical and mechanical properties of the WPCs. Although the use of the WTR in the production of the WPC adversely affects the mechanical properties, the use of 10 wt% WTR was acceptable. The results of the study showed that the addition of the WTR to the WPC production process can be useful for its recycling and for reducing the cost of the WPC.

Hybrid composite comprised fibers like peepal and Indian almond was fabricated, with the addition of natural filler such as jujube fruit seed particles aimed at enhancing composite performance. The impact of jujube fruit seed particles and layering sequence on the mechanical properties, water absorption and bio-degradation of the composites was investigated. Initially, two composite types, IA/P/IA (Indian almond/Peepal/Indian almond) and P/IA/P (Peepal/Indian almond/Peepal), were produced using hand layup practice, altering layering sequence of fibers. Based on tensile test results, the P/IA/P composite emerged as the optimal choice due to the denser packing of high-strength peepal fiber. Subsequently, jujube fruit seed particles were incorporated into the P/IA/P composite at varying weight percentages ranging from 2.5 to 10 with a step size of 2.5. The effect of jujube fruit seed particles on the performance of the P/IA/P composite was examined. The P/IA/P/7.5 wt% jujube composite demonstrated superior tensile, flexural, impact, and hardness properties, recording values of 82 MPa, 98 MPa, 5.2 kJ m−2, and 86 shore-d, respectively. These values were 15.4%, 22.5%, 20.9%, and 4.8% higher than those of the P/IA/P composite. The P/IA/P/10 wt% jujube composite demonstrated minimal water absorption, with only 8% recorded over a 12-day period, as well as limited mass loss, totaling 27% over 60 days. Consequently, this research suggests that the P/IA/P/7.5 wt% composite holds promise for industrial applications.

This study successfully deposited CrN, CrAlN, and TiAlN coatings on the surface of Cr12MoV substrate using multi-arc ion plating (MAIP). The influence of phase composition and surface morphology on the hardness, adhesion strength, friction performance, and wear mechanisms of these coatings was investigated, with a comparative analysis of their wear resistance. Nanoindentation results revealed that the hardness (H) of CrN, CrAlN, and TiAlN coatings increased by 70.37%, 74.97%, and 75.64%, respectively, compared to the substrate. The hardness (H) and elastic modulus (E) were found to be positively correlated. CrAlN demonstrated superior resistance to deformation, reflected in its higher H/E and H3/E2 radios compared to the CrN and TiAlN. Adhesion tests showed that CrAlN had the strongest adhesion strength to the substrate, with an adhesion force of 81.55 N, representing a 14.78% and 8.46% improvement over CrN and TiAlN, respectively. Friction and wear tests identified CrAlN as having the lowest friction coefficient (0.389), attributed to its high hardness and strong adhesion. The wear mechanisms of CrAlN observed were primarily mild abrasive wear, oxidative wear, and adhesive wear. In comparison, CrN and TiAlN coatings exhibited higher friction coefficients of 0.424 and 0.391, respectively, due to their lower hardness and adhesion, which led to more severe oxidative and abrasive wear. Additionally, the TiAlN coating showed signs of brittle failure in wear scars, likely due to the formation of Al2O3 oxides during wear.

Experimental determination of mechanical properties of rubber composites, such as tensile strength and hardness, involves complex multistage preparation procedures that are laborious and expensive. In this study, a hybrid filler of carbon black (CB) along with a sustainable filler of lignin is added for reinforcement in the nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) matrix, with the total filler content varying from 10 parts per hundred rubber (phr) to 80 phr. This work aims to develop a data-driven predictive model for the mechanical properties of rubber composites. An artificial neural network (ANN) model using multilayer feed-forward back-propagation has been created to forecast the tensile strength (Ts) and hardness (Hd) of rubber composites. The model predicts the uniaxial tensile response and hardness using input parameters that include total filler and lignin loading levels. The effectiveness of the suggested prediction method was demonstrated by statistical analysis using confidence intervals, showing a prediction error between 5.47% and 3.23% for the Ts and between 3.03% and 1.85% for Hd at 95% confidence intervals. A sustainable green band could be defined in the developed model, which is handy for designers to replace CB with lignin in various NBR based products, such as hoses, seals, etc., without compromising on tensile strength and hardness.

This present work has been intended to investigate the properties of an extracted Desmostachya bipinnata fibers (DBFs). The unmodified/untreated (raw), 10% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and 0.5% potassium permanganate(KMnO4)chemically modified/treated Desmostachya Bipinnata fibers are explored to establish the possibility of designing a large scale natural product or fiber/reinforcement. The raw, alkaline treated and potassium permanganate treated Desmostachya bipinnata fibers are designated as Raw Desmostachya Bipinnata Fibers, Alkali treated Desmostachya Bipinnata Fibers and Potassium Permanganate treated Desmostachya Bipinnata Fibers as samples, respectively. Mechanical, thermal and physio-chemical behaviors and surface morphology of both RDBF and treated Desmostachya Bipinnata Fibers are analyzed. From the results obtained, it is evident that an increase in aspect ratio, due to the diameter reduction by alkalization process, has exhibited high tensile strength with minimum density. The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy results have shown variation of chemical bonding, due to different chemical treatments of DBFs. Summarily, the maximum values of Crystallinity Index (CI) and activation energy are obtained with Alkali treated Desmostachya bipinnata fibers sample.

Utilizing the exhaust heat from engines to decompose methanol for hydrogen production, and subsequently introducing this hydrogen into the combustion chamber, is one of the crucial approaches for achieving energy savings and emission reductions. The role of an efficient and stable catalyst for methanol decomposition is paramount in this application. Therefore, CuNi-based catalysts modified with promoters such as Zr, La, Mn, and Mg were prepared using a stepwise impregnation method. The developed catalysts were tested using various analytical methods and characterization techniques. The results indicate that the addition of the Zr enhances the dispersion of active components, improves the catalyst’s reducibility. This, in turn, enhances the catalyst’s activity and hydrogen selectivity. The hydrogen yield of the Zr modified catalyst increased by an average of 12% compared to the original catalyst. Furthermore, the Zr modified catalyst exhibits exceptional stability after prolonged use. La can enhance the low-temperature activity of the catalyst but performs poorly at high temperatures. The promoter Mn has a minimal impact on the overall performance of the catalyst. Conversely, the addition of Mg as a promoter inhibits the dispersion of active components, resulting in adverse effects on the catalyst.

The developed catalysts were tested using various analytical methods and characterization techniques. The results indicate that the addition of the Zr enhances the dispersion of active components, improves the catalyst’s reducibility. This, in turn, enhances the catalyst’s activity and hydrogen selectivity. The hydrogen yield of the Zr modified catalyst increased by an average of 12% compared to the original catalyst. Furthermore, the Zr modified catalyst exhibits exceptional stability after prolonged use. La can enhance the low-temperature activity of the catalyst but performs poorly at high temperatures. The promoter Mn has a minimal impact on the overall performance of the catalyst. Conversely, the addition of Mg as a promoter inhibits the dispersion of active components, resulting in adverse effects on the catalyst.","PeriodicalId":18530,"journal":{"name":"Materials Research Express","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142181212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been suitably synthesized by reduction of silver ion (Ag+) using carbon dots (CDs) as a reducing agent and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a stabilizing agent. The purpose of this study was to clarify the efficiency of reducing agent (CDs) for the synthesis of AgNPs. The CDs and AgNPs have been characterized using UV–vis spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Additionally, x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) were also used to characterize CDs. The particle size of CDs and AgNPs was determined by Dynamic light scattering (DLS). The results showed that the CDs with particle size of 4.6 nm could be efficiently reduce silver ion at a sufficient ratio of CDs/silver ion to be 100 ml 1 mM−1. The average size of AgNPs was 41 nm. The results of DLS measurement showed that the Zeta potential of AgNPs was −18, 8 mV. In addition, the duration of 60 min was needed to reduce silver ion completely at ambient temperature. The as-synthesized AgNPs may have a potential for antibacterial application and the other purposes as well namely catalysis, biosensor, electromagnetic coating...
银纳米粒子（AgNPs）是以碳点（CDs）为还原剂，聚乙烯吡咯烷酮（PVP）为稳定剂，通过还原银离子（Ag+）而合成的。本研究的目的是明确还原剂（CDs）在合成 AgNPs 中的效率。使用紫外-可见光谱和透射电子显微镜（TEM）对还原剂（CDs）和 AgNPs 进行了表征。此外，还使用了 X 射线衍射（XRD）和傅立叶变换红外光谱（FT-IR）来表征 CD。通过动态光散射（DLS）测定了 CD 和 AgNPs 的粒度。结果表明，当 CD/银离子的比例达到 100 ml 1 mM-1 时，粒径为 4.6 nm 的 CD 可以有效地还原银离子。AgNPs 的平均粒径为 41 nm。DLS 测量结果表明，AgNPs 的 Zeta 电位为 -18.8 mV。此外，在环境温度下，银离子完全还原需要 60 分钟。所合成的 AgNPs 不仅具有抗菌应用潜力，还可用于其他用途，如催化、生物传感器、电磁涂层......
