The ingress of chlorides in concrete under compressive or tensile loads [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
One common aggressive mechanism acting in reinforced concrete is chloride attack which induces steel corrosion. Although it has mostly been studied and analyzed separately it has been observed that loads acting on concrete may modify the deteriorating ...

Zein‐Based Adhesives: Sustainable Extraction and Application in Bioadhesive Technologies

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Zein is extracted from corn gluten meal using a simple and scalable process with high yield (~90%). The resulting protein is applied in bioadhesives modified with Ca2+ and Fe3+ ions, exhibiting substrate‐dependent adhesion. The findings demonstrate competitive bonding performance and highlight the role of ionic interactions in tuning adhesion ...
