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

open access: yesAdvanced 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

Elephant‐Skin‐Inspired Porous Cementitious Tiles with Programmable Crack Networks for Passive Cooling

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Elephant‐skin‐inspired crack networks are programmed in porous diatomaceous earth (DE)‐cement composites using substrate‐guided, stress‐concentration induced fracture. The resulting crack lattices act as capillary conduits that redistribute water, while the porous matrix stores moisture.

Practical Limits of Ionic Magnetophoresis for Rare-Earth Separation

open access: yesIEEE Access
Magnetic separation has been proposed as an attractive alternative to the current chemistry-based purification processes of rare-earths because it is envisioned to be much more environmentally friendly.

Prospects for the integrated development of lignite deposits in Zakarpattia as a source of critical mineral raw materials

open access: yesМінеральні ресурси України
An analysis of critical mineral raw materials was carried out based on the Report of the US Department of Energy (DOE) “Evaluation of Critical Materials”, which was issued in the USA in July 2023, as well as the Methodology for the determination of ...

Highly Entangled Bottlebrush Polymer Networks

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Bottlebrush polymers are difficult to entangle, enabling ultrasoft yet brittle networks. We report highly entangled bottlebrush elastomers that remain ultrasoft (∼1 kPa) yet stretch to ∼1800% and exhibit exceptional fatigue resistance. Their intrinsic fatigue strength—fatigue threshold normalized by modulus—surpasses that of highly entangled linear ...
