Biological Durability of Oil Heat Treated Alder Wood
Drvna Industrija, 2014 The article presents preliminary results of the biological durability of oil heat treated (OHT) alder wood (Alnus glutinosa) against pure cultures of rot fungi (Postia placenta and Trametes versicolor) in lab conditions. The modification was performed by

Total replacement of recycled aggregate and treated wastewater: concrete recycling in extremis [PDF]
, 2016 Million tons of construction and demolition waste (CDW) are generated every year around the world, and most of them are not adequately disposed, generating significant pollution on water, soil and air.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Viscoelasticity‐driven instabilities are harnessed to create tunable, periodic textures in 3D‐printed liquid crystalline polymers. This study illustrates how processing parameters control these spontaneous meso‐scale patterns. These unique structural architectures unlock new possibilities for functional devices, ranging from photonic components to ...

Crack mitigation in concrete : superabsorbent polymers as key to success? [PDF]
, 2017 Cracking is a major concern in building applications. Cracks may arise from shrinkage, freeze/thawing and/or structural stresses, amongst others. Several solutions can be found but superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) seem to be interesting to counteract these

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Microscale hydrogels (microgels) feature improved mass transport characteristics supportive of fast actuation and chemical tunability amenable to programmed stimuli response. A unique soft actuator architecture is realized by encapsulating microgels in soft microcirculatory systems which enable the convenient delivery of liquid stimuli for powering and

Role of Histidine‐Containing Peptoids in Accelerating the Kinetics of Calcite Growth
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Amphiphilic histidine‐containing peptoids mimic carbonic anhydrase (CA) to accelerate calcite step growth. In the presence of Zn2+, they promote the deprotonation of HCO3−, the desolvation of Ca2+, and the reorganization of interfacial hydration layers, thereby reducing the activation barrier for calcite growth.

Finite Element Modeling of the Transition Zone between Aggregat and Mortar in Concrete [PDF]
, 2012 Visual observations to the Interfacial Transition Zone (ITZ) between aggregate and mortar in concrete showed that this area differs significantly to the bulk mortar, further away from the ITZ.
