Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy in Bionanotechnology: Current Advances and Future Perspectives

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) enables the nanoscale mapping of electrostatic surface potentials. While widely applied in materials science, its use in biological systems remains emerging. This review presents recent advances in KPFM applied to biological samples and provides a critical perspective on current limitations and future directions for

Experimental study on the durability of FRP bars reinforced concrete beams in simulated ocean environment

Science and Engineering of Composite Materials, 2018
In this paper, the flexural performance of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars reinforced concrete (RC) beams after conditioning in a simulated seawater wet-dry cycling environment for 6, 9 and 12 months is experimentally investigated.

Tough, Ductile, and Strong Hard‐Soft Cementitious Composite Enabled by Multi‐Material Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Drawing inspiration from the layered hard‐soft architecture found in sea sponges, this work establishes a new framework for architected cementitious composites (ACC) through multi‐material additive manufacturing (MMAM) process. The integration of mortar and elastomer phases into layered architectures enables synergistic toughening mechanisms, including

Characterization of concrete with recycled aggregates produced from returned concrete [PDF]

, 2015
Returned concrete is the residual amount of fresh concrete that is not placed at the job site and returns to the ready-mix plant in the truck mixer. According to local conditions, returned concrete may range from 1 to 5 per cent of the overall concrete ...

Experimental tests of some composite steel-concrete, wood-concrete and concrete-concrete elements

International Journal for Engineering Modelling, 2003
The paper presents the results of experimental tests of some composite steel-concrete, wood-concrete and concrete-concrete elements. Deflections at midspan under monotonically increasing static load were measured. The influence of different composite making means on the results was researched.

LEAD: Literature Enhanced Ab Initio Discovery of Nitride Dusting Layers for Enhanced Tunnel Magnetoresistance and Lower Resistance Magnetic Tunnel Junctions

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) using MgO tunnel barriers face challenges of high resistance‐area product and low tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR). To discover alternative materials, Literature Enhanced Ab initio Discovery (LEAD) is developed. The LEAD‐predicted materials are theoretically evaluated, showing that MTJs with dusting of ScN or TiN on ...

Strengenthening of concrete bridges using reinforced sprayed concrete under state and fatigue loading. [PDF]

, 1997
PhDThe Department of Transport's bridge assessment programme has revealed that a significant number of bridges are not strong enough to carry the much heavier commercial axle loads that will soon be applied to UK bridges. To address this problem, this
