Characteristics, properties and limitations of per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and fluoropolymers

Polymer International, EarlyView.
An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

Biomimetic and Gel‐Mediated Tissue Adhesive Structures for Skin Conformal and Multifunctional Bioelectronics

Small, EarlyView.
Inspired by octopus suction structures, a biomimetic epidermal electrode is developed as a durable, skin‐conformal platform for next‐generation wearable and therapeutic bioelectronics. The electrodes exhibit skin‐matching mechanical properties and achieve strong, reusable adhesion on wet skin, outperforming commercial electrodes by maintaining adhesion

Evaluations of the effectiveness of the near‐surface mounted steel materials in strengthening short RC wall‐like columns with openings

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In practice, reinforced concrete (RC) wall‐like columns often have openings to facilitate building services, which creates stress concentrations around the opening, resulting in the weakening of their load‐carrying capacity. This study proposes innovative strengthening methods using near‐surface mounted (NSM) incorporating steel materials to ...

Flexural and shear strengthening of RC elements

, 2013
In a recent experimental program dealing with the Near Surface Mounted (NSM) technique for the flexural strengthening of continuous reinforced concrete (RC) slabs strips, the increase of load carrying and the moment redistribution was lower than the expected values.
