High‐strength composites by thiocracking of high‐polypropylene‐content mixed waste

Polymer International, EarlyView.
Mixed plastic waste made up of polystyrene and polypropylene was reacted with elemental sulfur to give high‐strength composites. Abstract Mixed‐material municipal waste poses a persistent end‐of‐life management challenge because the heterogeneous composition limits efficient separation and recycling. After disposal, mixed‐material waste often fragments

Symbols of Climate Action: Audit Labor and the Production of Carbon Credits

Economic Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Voluntary carbon markets (VCMs) are promoted as tools for financing climate mitigation, yet their effectiveness and credibility remain contested. This article examines how carbon credits are produced and destabilized as symbols of climate action, emphasizing the forms of ecological and audit labor that sustain their legitimacy.

Quantitative Analysis of Topographic Crosstalk in DART‐ESM Arising from Feedback‐Loop‐Delay‐Induced Contact Stiffness Variations in Battery Materials

Small Methods, EarlyView.
Interpretation of Dual AC Resonance‐Tracking Electrochemical Strain Microscopy (DART‐ESM) signals is complicated by topography‐induced artifacts that distort measured responses. Using silicon with artificial trench structures as a reference, this study quantifies artifact magnitude and demonstrates that Cooling Cross‐Section Polishing (CCP) effectively

Study on Comparison between Ordinary Concrete and Rubberized Concrete’

International Journal of Advanced Research in Science, Communication and Technology
The concrete is an important part of the construction industry. Tyre waste is a major threat to the environment and dumping in landfills can lead to various problems such as fire, breeding ground, land waste, etc. Therefore, if tyre waste can be used in the construction industry, it will help reduce pollution.
