Rubber wear on concrete: Dry and in-water conditions
WearRubber wear results from the removal of small (micrometer-sized) rubber particles through crack propagation. In this study, we investigate the wear behavior of Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) and Natural Rubber (NR) sliding on two different concrete surfaces under dry and wet (in water) conditions.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Integrating eco‐design practices in product development from the start is essential for fashion accessories like bags and backpacks, which involve complex manufacturing, diverse materials, and strong socio‐cultural meanings. Building on this premise and drawing from the Lifecycle Design Strategy Wheel, this study aims to characterize the eco ...

Frost resistance prediction for rubberized concrete based on artificial neural network
Discover Applied SciencesUsing waste rubber to partially replace fine aggregate to make rubber concrete can not only reduce black pollution to alleviate the dilemma of natural sand resource depletion, but also improve the frost resistance of concrete, which is undoubtedly a win ...

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.

Anisotropic Thermal Properties of Electrically Insulating Thin Films and Sheets: A Review
Small Methods, EarlyView.Thermally conducting and electrically insulating materials with anisotropy properties play an integral role in advanced thermal management, in particular for electronic devices. This review discusses recent progress in enhancing thermal conductivity and controlling the thermal anisotropy between in‐plane and cross‐plane (through‐thickness) directions ...

Foamed Concrete Sealing Materials for Coal Seam Gas Drainage Boreholes: A Review
Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.This study investigates the sealing performance of foamed concrete in gas drainage boreholes. By comparing leakage pathways (a, c) with sealed systems (b, d), the research demonstrates how foamed concrete effectively fills mining‐induced fractures and resists deformation.
