ABSTRACT Coeliac disease is an immune‐mediated enteropathy triggered by dietary gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. Intestinal tissue transglutaminase (tTG) deamidates gluten peptides, enhancing their presentation by HLA‐DQ2/DQ8 heterodimers and promoting a T‐cell‐mediated inflammatory response.

Effects and Mechanisms of Different RPE/RPP Ratios on the Properties of Modified Asphalt. ABSTRACT Recycled polyethylene (RPE) and recycled polypropylene (RPP) are the most abundant types of plastic waste. Developing novel base asphalt modifiers (additives used to enhance the properties of asphalt) by blending RPE and RPP in different ratios is of ...

Recycled brick aggregate (RBA) offers a practical route to reduce natural aggregate consumption, but its impact and elevated‐temperature performance remain unclear when combined with hybrid fibers. This study evaluates whether rubber fiber (RF) and polypropylene fiber (PPF) can improve the impact resistance (IR) and residual compressive strength (CS ...

The use of plastics as asphalt modifiers offers significant advantages in enhancing pavement performance, including improved durability, enhanced high‐temperature stability, and environmental benefits. However, crack resistance, especially at low temperatures, remains a critical challenge that limits the broader application of plastic‐modified asphalt.

Improvement of permeable asphalt pavement by adding crumb rubber waste
Designing mixtures of asphalt with a porous structure to gain good trainability decreases both the propagation and generation of traffic noise. Porous asphalt (PA) mixtures use crushed stone, a small proportion of processing sand, admixtures, and asphalt

Conventional polymer modification of bitumen, while enhancing in‐service performance, often leads to increased material costs. Recycled tire‐derived crumb rubber (CR) presents a sustainable and economically viable alternative, offering valuable elastomeric properties and environmental benefits by diverting waste from landfills.

Design and Evaluation of Asphalt Mixtures Containing Crumb Rubber as Aggregates Replacement
Crumb rubber (CR) as a modifier has been used by many for asphalt binders and asphalt concrete (AC) mixtures production. Nevertheless, the engineering properties of AC mixtures containing CR as aggregate replacement still need to be determined ...
