Can Elastomers Combine Stiffness, Toughness and Fatigue Resistance?

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review studies how the molecular and macroscopic architecture of elastomers influence their mechanical properties including: stiffness, stretchability, toughness, fatigue resistance, and damping behavior. By linking the structure to performance, it proposes design principles for advanced elastomeric systems that combine mechanical properties ...

Nano-Pt Skin Coated Carbonized Wood Chips with High Catalytic Activity for Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Methanol

open access: yesInternational Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2018
A exquisite structure of Nano-Pt Skin (NPS) with high catalytic activity for electrocatalytic oxidation of methanol was fabricated by an in-situ electrodeposition method. Bio-renewable carbonized wood chips (CWCs) ware acted as the precursor of substrate

How “Green” is Your Functional Material? Assessing Environmental Impacts of Multi‐Step Synthetic Protocols in Material Sciences at Various Technology Levels

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Environmental Synthesis Radar (ESR) evaluates the environmental impact of (early‐stage) multi‐step chemical syntheses, providing a holistic view by using 18 midpoint impact categories. Unlike conventional life‐cycle assessment (LCA) approaches, ESR reveals three complementary metrics: overall impact Vtotal, environmental hotspots VEF, and critical ...

Strong Fully Reprocessable Engineered Wood Composites

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Engineering a hyperbranched adhesive with complementary imine‐bond and hydrogen‐bond networks, combining it with wood particles to fabricate the wood composite (WP/HTP) under mild hot‐pressing conditions. The WP/HTP exhibits 100% mechanical strength recovery after three cycles of reprocessing, and the reprocessed modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of

Methanesulfonic Acid as a Dual‐Role Reagent for Porous Polymer Network Design

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The design of porous polymer networks (PPNs) using methanesulfonic acid (MSA) as a dual‐role reagent facilitates the synthesis of robust PPNs for specific applications. It also makes the scale‐up process techno‐economically feasible because MSA functions simultaneously as both a solvent and a catalyst for the reaction.

Turning Nd‐Fe‐B Swarf Into High‐Value Bulk Feedstocks via Sustainable Hydrogen Plasma: From Rare‐Earth Oxides to Metals and Hydrides

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Oxidized Nd‐Fe‐B magnet swarf is transformed into valuable bulk feedstock through a single‐step hydrogen plasma process. The reaction converts complex rare‐earth‐containing waste into separated metallic, oxide, and hydride fractions without acid leaching.

A Flexible Inventory Model for Municipal Solid Waste Recycling [PDF]

open access: yes
Most of the United States have laws mandating the recycling of municipal solid waste (MSW). In order to comply, municipalities recycle quotas of materials, without regard to fluctuating prices.

Dual Single Atoms Boosting Photocatalytic Upcycling of Raw Polyvinylidene Fluoride Plastic

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
To resolve the catastrophic disaster of plastic contamination, the Cu‐Fe dual‐single‐atom‐loaded In2P3S9 NSs photocatalyst was prepared for direct conversion of raw polyvinylidene fluoride plastic into valuable chemicals. The dual‐single‐atom catalyst exhibits exceptional performance, with a total acetic/formic acid production of ∼1351.8 µmol g−1 ...
