Challenges and perspectives for the protection of masonry structures in historic centers: the role of innovative materials and techniques [PDF]

, 2016
Lessons learned from natural events which caused severe damage to existing constructions have repeatedly shown the high vulnerability of historically important masonry, often worsened by inaccurate or dubious applications of modern or innovative ...

Characterization of lime based insulating mortars for existing buildings in the EU market [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences
There are several lime mortars which have been developed to improve the thermal performance of the facades of existing buildings. They are used as the final coating of a building’s facade thanks to their insulating capacities, weather resistance, vapour ...

Some considerations about the durability of historic mortars [PDF]

, 2008
The current manuscript discusses the durability of historical mortars. The majority of the descriptions about those mortars are mainly related to the Roman period and refer the mixture of calcium hydroxide and pozzolans (volcanic ashes and calcined ...

Water Absorption Properties of Cement Pastes: Experimental and Modelling Inspections [PDF]

, 2018
An intermingled fractal units’ model is shown in order to simulate pore microstructures as pore fraction and pore size distribution. This model is aimed at predicting capillary water absorption coefficient and sorptivity values in cement pastes.

High Entropy Wide‐Bandgap Borates with Broadband Luminescence and Large Nonlinear Optical properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
High‐entropy rare‐earth borates exhibit excellent nonlinear optical and broadband luminescence properties arising from multi‐component doping, chemical disorder, increased configurational entropy, and increased lattice and electronic anharmonicity. This formulation enabled us to obtain a large, environmentally stable single crystal with 3X higher laser‐

Furan‐Substituted Phosphine‐Oxide as an Efficient Interfacial Modifier for Wide‐Bandgap Perovskite Solar Cells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We report phosphine‐oxide interlayers for wide‐bandgap perovskite solar cells, in which tuned P = O Lewis basicity enables selective passivation of buried NiOx/perovskite interfaces and introduces interfacial dipoles that strengthen the built‐in field.

An Atomic‐Level Bimetallic MOF Platform Overcoming the Stability‐Performance Tradeoff for Laser Propulsion

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces an atomic‐level engineered bimetallic MOF Platform that resolves the inherent trade‐off between environmental stability and propulsion efficiency. By integrating robust Fe‐O bonds for hydrolysis resistance and enabling d‐orbital charge transfer (Fe3+→Cu2+) for enhanced photothermal conversion, the design achieves a highly durable ...

Haptic In‐Sensor Computing Device Based on CNT/PDMS Nanocomposite Physical Reservoir

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
Using a porous carbon nanotube‐polydimethylsiloxane nanocomposite, a sensor array integrated with a physical reservoir computing paradigm capable of in‐sensor computing is demonstrated. The device is able to classify between nine objects with an accuracy above 80%, opening the possibility for low‐power sensing/computing for future robotics.
