Self‐Seeded Nucleation of PET in a Benign Solvent Yields a High Modulus Aerogel With Ultra‐Low Thermal Conductivity

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A new benign solvent (1,3‐diphenylacetone) enables a simple, safe, and sustainable dissolution and gelation method to convert waste PET into low density, monolithic aerogels with high mechanical strength (E = 20 MPa) and remarkably low thermal conductivity (k = 21.9 to 28.9 mW/m·K).

The ductile to brittle transition behavior in a Zr-based bulk metallic glass

open access: yes, 2015
The ductile to brittle transition (DBT) of crystalline metals and alloys has been extensively studied in scientific and engineering fields. However, the DBT of non-crystalline metals and alloys such as bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) remains poorly ...

Brittle-ductile transition in vanadium

open access: yes, 1958
Mechanical tests have been made on two grades of vanadium over a range of temperatures below 25°C to establish the existence of a brittle-ductile transition and the temperature range over which it occurs. Also, the effect of small amounts of metallic and

Stress modeling for the upper and lower crust along the Anninghe, Xianshuihe, and Longmenshan Faults in southeastern Tibetan plateau

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science
Earthquake occurrence depth in the crust is related to stress, temperature, and brittle–ductile transition, which is also near the transition depth of the upper to lower crust. The composition variation between the upper and lower crust causes remarkable

Architected Inverse Nacre Hydrogels With High Strength and Crack‐Insensitive Toughness

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Hydrogels hold promise for biomedical and engineering applications, yet their practical use is fundamentally limited by the strength‐toughness trade‐off and poor fatigue resistance. In this study, a bioinspired inverse nacre architecture constructed via a scalable thermo‐calendering process is introduced, which overcomes these classic limitations ...
