Study of shear performance of steel-timber composite connection with different shear connectors

Case Studies in Construction Materials
The shear resistance of steel-timber composite (STC) connections largely depends on the shear performance of shear connectors. Three types of shear connectors, i.e., welded stud, screw, and screw-grout were considered in this paper.

Advanced Porous Materials for Maritime Carbon Capture

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Carbon capture from emission sources, such as marine vessels, has attracted significant attention over the years. To achieve this goal, sorbents such as metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), porous polymer networks (PPNs), covalent organic frameworks (COFs), and their post‐synthetic modifications are currently being explored.
