Polarization‐Dependent Synaptic‐Like Electro‐Optical Response in Ferroelectric Nematic Liquid Crystals

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals (FNLCs) offer fast, tunable polarization and low‐voltage operation but suffer from poor polarization retention at zero field. Semiconductor‐modified FNLCs enhance polarization retention and exhibit short‐ and long‐term electro‐optical responses, while also supporting spike‐type signal integrations.

Design and evaluation of stone matrix asphalt using stiffer grade crumb rubber modified bitumen

Roads and Bridges, 2019
Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) is primarily used as a surfacing layer material since it is found to perform well under heavy traffic conditions and at the same time is more cost-effective when compared to the conventional dense graded mixes.

Tough and Skin‐Free Porous Polyelectrolyte Complex Hydrogels via Salt‐Induced Aqueous Phase Separation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Controlling counterion exchange rate during aqueous phase separation enables the formation of skin‐free, homogeneously porous polyelectrolyte complex hydrogels by suppressing kinetically trapped skin layers and macrovoids. The resulting hydrogel networks exhibit exceptional toughness (∼15 MJ·m−3) and enable 3D (bio)printing and post‐functionalization ...

Investigation of the Usability of Plastic Origin Wastes Used in the Furniture Industry in Hot Asphalt Mixture

Proceedings of the International Conference of Contemporary Affairs in Architecture and Urbanism-ICCAUA, 2020
Bituminous mixes are most widely used in flexible paving construction around the world. This consists of asphalt or bitumen (used as binder) and a mixture of minerals that is blended together, coated and so compacted.

USAGE OF GEOGRIDS IN FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT DESIGN

, 2018
As on 31st March 2018, estimates the total road length in India 6,603,293km (4,103,096 mi) making the Indian road network, the second largest road network in the world after the united states. But the roads are not giving the desired result due to poor CBR value. Roads in India have mostly the problems like the formation of potholes, ruts, cracks and

Functionalizing Micro‐to‐Mesoscopic Electrode Architectures for Regulating Electron Transfer Behaviors in Electrocatalysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A systematic review is conducted to assess the influence of electrode architecture across micro‐ to mesoscopic length scales on electron‐transfer pathways in electrocatalysis. We discuss the structure‐activity relationships in electrocatalytic applications, including resource recovery and environmental remediation, and provide cost‐effective, efficient
