Bridging Horizontal to Vertical Radiative Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Radiative cooling materials are mature but only work facing the sky, confining them to rooftops. Instead of developing new ones, this system bridges existing horizontal coolers to vertical windows using blades outside the glass. On an occupied urban building, windows stay up to 1.4°C below air temperature while preserving daylight, outward views, and ...

Architected Load Paths Enable Stiffening and Motion Programming in Soft Pneumatic Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A single MARS template introduces an architected reinforcement strategy for programmable soft pneumatic actuators through internal structural organization and selective beam removal. This monolithic architecture enables deformation reconfiguration from continuous bending to joint‐like articulation and torsional motion, allowing one compliant platform ...

Aging resistance of asphalt mixture modified by polyolefin elastomer/styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer

open access: yesHecheng xiangjiao gongye, 2022
Polyolefin elastomer (POE) was used to modify styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer (SBS) modified asphalt, and POE/SBS modified asphalt mixture was prepared. The effect of POE content on the aging resistance of SBS modified asphalt was investigated.

Use of Adhesion Promoters in Asphalt Mixtures [PDF]

open access: yesSlovak Journal of Civil Engineering, 2018
Abstract The purpose of asphalt binder as a significant binder in road constructions is to permanently bind aggregates of different compositions and grain sizes. The asphalt binder itself does not have suitable adhesiveness, so after a period of time, bare grains can appear.

Organic expanded vermiculite as an alternative to filler for improving aging resistance of asphalt mixture

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials
The organic expanded vermiculite (OEVMT) is a good anti-aging agent for asphalt binder due to its excellent heat and oxygen barrier properties. However, the application form of OEVMT is usually limited to being as a modifier for asphalt binder while ...

Waste Sawdust‐Derived Hard Carbon Anodes With Engineered Interlayer Spacing for Sodium‐Ion Batteries Exhibiting High Initial Coulombic Efficiency

open access: yesCarbon Energy, EarlyView.
It is demonstrated that waste sawdust, a green, eco‐friendly, and low‐cost biomass byproduct, can be converted into high‐performance hard carbon through the application of a precisely controlled heating rate. This strategy is optimized and validated through first‐principles calculations, achieving precise control over interlayer spacing and pore ...
