Effect of carbonation on the chloride diffusion of mortar specimens exposed to cyclic wetting and drying [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Carbonation and chloride ingress are the two main causes of corrosion in reinforced concrete structures. Despite the combined action of these mechanisms being a reality, there is little research on the effect of carbonation on the chloride diffusion in ...

Integrating Direct Air Capture Technology and Plasma Based Calcination for Sustainable Syngas and Concrete – An Experimental Investigation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 6, 16 March 2026.
This study presents an experimental Proof‐of‐Concept of an electrified CO2${\rm CO}_2$ loop that combines DAC and GA‐plasma conversion. Atmospheric CO2${\rm CO}_2$ is captured and solidified as CaCO3${\rm CaCO}_3$, followed by plasma‐based calcination to regenerate CaO and with the possibility to split CO2${\rm CO}_2$ into CO for syngas synthesis. This

Optimization analysis of a coupled carbonation-moisture transport model using COMSOL

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials
Concrete porosity, surface microcracks, and material properties significantly influence carbon dioxide diffusion, leading to inconsistent carbonation depths even under identical mix proportions or environmental conditions.

Interfaces in Large Area 2D Materials Integration: From Epitaxial Growth and Clean Transfer to Interface‐Dominated Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 6, 16 March 2026.
This Review proposes an interface‐centric framework for large‐area 2D materials integration, linking wafer‐scale single‐crystal epitaxy, clean transfer and deterministic stacking, and interface‐dominated structure–property–device correlations. We summarize how interfacial symmetry and energetics govern nucleation/coalescence and adhesion‐controlled ...

Techno‐Economic Analysis of Polylactic Acid from Corn Stover: Understanding Uncertainty and Variability via Artificial Intelligence Tools

open access: yesAdvanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study analyses the uncertainty and variability existing in the economic performance of polylactic acid (PLA) production, via integrating techno‐economic analysis with process models and Monte Carlo simulation enabled by artificial intelligence. The results show that the minimum selling price varies from $2,107 to $3076/t PLA.

Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 15, 13 March 2026.
Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.
