Specimens with 0 %, 25 % and 50 % IOT replacement ratios of fine aggregates were prepared and put in different corrosion conditions for 180 days.

The effect of pore structure parameters on compressive strength was evaluated by the GM(1,3) model and Pearson correlation. Life cycle assessment is used to assess the environmental impact of IOTC. Results indicate that IA bypasses the diffusion barrier and occurs directly from the inside, which can cause more severe damage. Among them, chemical corrosion is the main cause of concrete deterioration, and the increasement of macropores is the direct cause of concrete deterioration. IOTC with 25 % IOT can enhance the durability of concrete by reducing sulfate penetration and corrosion through the utilization of physical, chemical, and transport mechanisms. However, excessive IOT content will reduce durability. Life cycle assessment confirms IOTC reduces the environmental impact of IOT.

In this study, artichoke leaf extract (ALE), obtained from food loss streams, was mixed with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) to develop an active coating on polylactic acid (PLA)-based packaging using a spray-coating approach. Prior surface modification of PLA using 1 % w/v PLA containing 20 wt% polyethylene glycol improved hydrophilicity and enhanced coating adhesion. Substituting ALE for CMC reduced coating solution viscosity, allowing a uniform coating. The inclusion of ALE conferred antioxidant (40–67 % DPPH scavenging) and antibacterial properties (2.11 and 1.08 log reduction against <em>E. coli</em> and <em>S. aureus</em>) to the coating, with controlled release governed by diffusion and swelling in lipophilic media (50 % ethanol) and predominantly swelling-controlled release in hydrophilic media (10 % ethanol and 3 % acetic acid). Analysis of the performance of active packaging in preservation of cut apples and strawberries demonstrated that ALE-coated PLA packaging effectively slowed oxidation, acid degradation, and microbial proliferation in cut apples and strawberries over 8 and 10 days storage, respectively, thereby improving overall freshness. While limited improvements were observed for firmness and browning in apples, coated packaging significantly enhanced phenolic content, antioxidant activity, and microbial stability, with strawberries showing the strongest protective effects.

The ultrafast heating (&gt;8 × 10⁴ °C/s) and quenching (&gt;4000 °C/s) process achieved by 4.53 kW/cm² infrared laser irradiation plays a critical role in the kinetic-controlled degradation of polyethylene into long-chain terminal alkenes.

Conventional dry cleaning solvents like perchloroethylene are considered to be carcinogenic and detrimental to the environment. Factories usually adopt the chlorination process to manufacture machine-washable wool textiles, which may release harmful adsorbable organic halides (AOX) to the environment.

The pre-filling not only inhibits the protease from penetrating the fiber interior but also enhances its adsorption on the fiber surface. Hence, the compound proteases, possessing efficacy in degrading keratin-rich scales, primarily hydrolyze the fiber surface. This selective hydrolysis endows these textiles with machine-washability while preserving their original mechanical properties and color attributes, achieving a felting shrinkage of 5.06 % and an increase in tensile strength of 0.27 % for wool fabric.

Castor oil (CO), with its unique chemical structure (containing hydroxyl groups) and bio-renewable advantages, represented an ideal choice for preparing bio-based PU. This study aimed to develop a high-performance, environmentally friendly renewable castor oil-based polyurethane modified bitumen (CO-PUMB), using petroleum-based polyurethane modified bitumen (P-PUMB) as a comparison, to provide insights for advancing the greening of road construction materials. First, the PU composition (isocyanate index <em>R</em> = 1, hard segment content <em>C</em>_<em>h</em> = 20 %) was designed and optimized, and determine the optimal hydroxyl substitution ratio for <em>CO</em>-substituted petroleum-derived polytetrahydrofuran (PTMG). Subsequently, the preparation process (90 °C, 400 rpm, 2 min) and the curing process (100 °C, 2 h) were established. Then, five types of CO-PUMB and P-PUMB with varying PU contents were prepared and subjected to microscopic morphology observation, physical performance testing, and rheological testing. Fluorescence microscopy observation indicated that, benefiting from the trihydroxy structure and low molecular weight of castor oil (CO), CO-PU formed an earlier, more extensive, and more efficient chemically cross-linked network than P-PU at a lower PU content (≥40 %). In contrast, P-PU relied primarily on physical entanglement and required a higher PU content (60 %) to achieve cross-linking. Physical performance and rheological tests demonstrated that CO-PUMB, leveraging its dense chemical cross-linked network, exhibited significantly superior high-temperature stability, fatigue life, elastic recovery, and resistance to permanent deformation compared to P-PUMB. Additionally, increasing the CO/P-PU content enhanced the overall performance of CO/P-PUMB across the entire frequency (temperature) range. Notably, the performance improvement in CO-PUMB within the high-frequency (low-temperature) region was dependent on an effective crosslinking network, while that in P-PUMB relied on the high motional freedom generated by PTMG molecules.
