Entropy of water and the temperature-induced stiffening of amyloid networks [PDF]
In water, networks of semi-flexible fibrils of the protein $\alpha$-synuclein stiffen significantly with increasing temperature. We make plausible that this reversible stiffening is a result of hydrophobic contacts between the fibrils that become more ...

High‐load lithium‐ion battery electrodes based on LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2 (45 mg cm−2, 8 mAh cm−2) are produced by blending carbon nanotubes, conductive graphite, and carbon black as conductive additives to optimize both processing and performance. This formulation enhances specific discharge capacities to 146 mAh g−1 at 0.5 C, a 60% increase compared to ...

The determination of the flexural creep stiffness of asphalt binder using bending beam rheometer
Rutting, fatigue cracking, and thermal cracking are the major types of distresses in asphalt pavement. These distresses are highly affected by the characteristics of asphalt binder (asphalt+additive). Binder properties play a key role in controlling low temperature cracking. The major objective of this paper is to determine the flexural creep stiffness
