Mechanochemistry Meets Catalysis: Metal Complexes for Greener Organic Transformations

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Mechanochemistry is redefining metal catalysis by controlling catalyst formulation, speciation, and deployment. This Review shows how milling, LAG, RAM, and TSE enable rapid metal‐complex assembly, distinctive catalytic manifolds, and scalable synthesis beyond solution chemistry.

Effects of hybrid polyethylene terephthalate fibre and fly ash on mechanical properties of concrete

open access: yesMaterials Research Express, 2022
Cracked concrete is a problem due to several factors such as poor maintenance, insufficient reinforcement or steel corrosion leading to crack propagation. There is a need to increase the load-bearing capacity of concrete and increase its life span.

Corals and Reef‐Dwelling Fish Regulate Carbon Storage and Cycling Processes in Coral Reef Ecosystems

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Coral reefs are biodiversity hotspots, yet their role in carbon storage and cycling remains poorly understood. Using field surveys and modeling in the South China Sea, we reveal the overlooked potential of carbon storage in reef ecosystems and how reef fish, corals, and surface sediment jointly shape reef carbon reservoirs.

Pull Off test to evaluate the compressive strength of concrete: an alternative to Brazilian standard techniques

open access: yesRevista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais
To estimate the compressive strength of concrete is necessary in many reinforced concrete structures inspection works. In Brazil, the standard tests for this purpose are: Compressive test in drilled cores, rebound hammer test and ultrasonic test.

Comparison of the inherent variability in rebound hammer tests performed with different testing instruments

open access: yesEpitoanyag - Journal of Silicate Based and Composite Materials, 2013
The rebound hammer test of concrete can provide an alternative to drilled core tests for estimating the in-situ compressive strength of concrete. The variability of concrete strength is recognised during the strength assessment and the design strength of concrete is specified as its characteristic compressive strength by taking the variability of the ...
