Can Elastomers Combine Stiffness, Toughness and Fatigue Resistance?
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review studies how the molecular and macroscopic architecture of elastomers influence their mechanical properties including: stiffness, stretchability, toughness, fatigue resistance, and damping behavior. By linking the structure to performance, it proposes design principles for advanced elastomeric systems that combine mechanical properties ...

Sustainable and Multifunctional Natural Macromolecular Polymers for Aqueous Zn Metal Batteries
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.We comprehensively review the structure‐function relationships and regulatory mechanism of natural macromolecular polymers in stabilizing zinc anodes at the microscopic and mesoscopic scales. The interactions among polymer structures, optimization strategies, and regulatory mechanisms are discussed systematically summarizing recent related research ...

Compression drying of energy wood
Fuel Processing Technology, 2014 Abstract This study investigated the compression drying of energy wood in the form of sawdust. The test was carried out on freshly-felled Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris ), Norway spruce ( Picea abies ) and Downy birch ( Betula pubescens ) in Finland. The compression pressure (6–38 MPa) and time (0–60 s) were adjusted in the experiments; it was found ...

Surface densification of acetylated wood
, 2016 The mechanical properties of wood can be improved by compressing its porous structure between heated metal plates. By adjusting the process parameters it is possible to target the densification only in the surface region of wood where the property ...
