Crop-specific embodied greenhouse gas emissions inventory for 28 staple crops in China from 2007 to 2017

Scientific Data
Rapid economic development and population growth have driven significant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from China’s crop farming. Understanding specific features of these emissions is crucial for developing effective mitigation strategies.

Will Economic Restructuring in China Reduce Trade-Embodied CO2 Emissions? [PDF]

, 2012
We calculate CO2 emissions embodied in China’s net exports using a multi-regional input-output database. We find that the majority of China’s export-embodied CO2 is associated with production of machinery and equipment rather than energy-intensive ...

Production of MgO/TiC Composites From MgO‐C Recyclates Using Spark Plasma Sintering

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Using the spark plasma sintering technique, MgO/TiC composites are manufactured from recycled MgO‐C refractories stemming from the steel production that were mixed with titanium powder. This article shows, how the size of the Ti grains and their distribution in the powder mixture affect the local carbon concentration in TiC.

Double-edged sword: China’s free trade agreements reinforces embodied greenhouse gas transfers in agricultural products

Humanities & Social Sciences Communications
China, as the world’s largest importer, heavily relies on agricultural products. However, the impact of China’s free trade agreements (FTAs) on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions embodied in agricultural product imports has been overlooked.

Bioinspired Shape‐Memory Hook Fasteners With Programmable Interlocking and Silent Release

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Bioinspired hook fasteners made from epoxy shape‐memory polymers are shown to switch between strong, secure attachment and gentle, silent release when heated. By combining programmable geometry and material response, these adaptive fasteners outperform commercial systems in strength and noise control, enabling new solutions for robotics, medical ...

Copper Nanocrystallization in Anodic Oxide Films of Ti–Cu‐Based Bulk Metallic Glass and Its Effect on the Corrosion Resistance and Cytocompatibility

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Viktoriia Shtefan, Thorgund Nemec, Ute Hempel, Annett Gebert and coworkers demonstrate that anodic treatment of Ti–Cu‐based metallic glass in a nontoxic pyrophosphate electrolyte forms a protective bilayered Ti/Zr‐oxide film enriched with Cu nanocrystals.

Direct Metal Deposition of Graphene–Ti28Nb35.4Zr Matrix Composites With Enhanced Mechanical, Corrosion, and Biocompatibility Properties for Bone Implants

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Graphene nanoplatelet (0.1 wt.%) reinforcement significantly enhances the performance of β Ti‐28Nb‐35.4Zr alloy. Grain refinement, reduced water contact angle, and improved surface characteristics promote osteoblast adhesion and complete surface coverage after 7 days.
