Can Elastomers Combine Stiffness, Toughness and Fatigue Resistance?

Advanced 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 ...

Subsoil Characterisation in an Abandoned Dam in Central Mexico Using Geoelectrical Methods

Geosciences
In central Mexico, ground failure and subsidence have accelerated, as evidenced by the Villa de Reyes graben, particularly at the El Hundido Dam, with the primary cause attributed to groundwater overexploitation.

Chloride Ions: Essential Agents for Achieving Spontaneous Delamination of MXene

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work first identifies chloride ions as essential agents for spontaneous MXene delamination. Without Cl−, etched Ti3C2Tx remains multilayered; with Cl−, interlayer modification enables Li+ intercalation and osmotic swelling. The SPEED process couples HF‐assisted Al extraction, Cl−‐mediated interlayer expansion, and Li+‐driven swelling to produce ...
