A Thermoreversible Gelation Pathway to Plant Cuticle‐Inspired Biopolymer Aerogel Monoliths Based on Network‐Spherulitic Crystal Assemblies

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
To address functionality limitations in plant‐based and industrially compostable polymer aerogels, this work introduces bio‐inspired aerogels with broadened functionality. Inspired by functional plant tissues, lightweight biopolymer aerogels based on exclusively stereocomplex crystals are fabricated, featuring hierarchically macro‐/meso‐porous ...

Cercetări arheologice în aşezarea eneolitică de la Mălăieştii de Jos (jud. Prahova), campaniile 2002–2010

open access: yesMateriale și Cercetări Arheologice, 2012
North of the Mălăieştii de Jos village (Prahova county), on the edge of a high terrace (295 m altitude), an Eneolithic settlement was noted. To the north and south the site is naturally bordered by deep gullies and ravines, and to the east by the river ...

Conformal Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces: A Cylindrical Geometry Perspective

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Cylindrical reconfigurable intelligent surfaces are explored for low‐complexity beam steering using one‐bit meta‐atoms. A multi‐level modeling approach, including optimization‐based synthesis, demonstrates that even minimal hardware can support directive scattering.

Effect of Decreasing Temperature Reciprocating Upsetting-Extrusion on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Mg-Gd-Y-Zr Alloy

open access: yesMetals, 2020
The decreasing temperature reciprocating upsetting-extrusion (RUE) deformation experiment was carried out on Mg-Gd-Y-Zr alloy to study RUE deformation on the influence of microstructure of the alloy. This work showed that with the gradual increase of RUE

Nothing to See Here: Researching Non‐Recent Child Abuse in Schools and the Politics of Silence

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While institutions, including schools, have responsibilities to protect children from harm, responses to instances of child sexual abuse have often exhibited avoidance and denial. Recent public inquiries in Australia revealed that some institutions, particularly in the Catholic sector, employed a deliberate strategy of silence which was used ...

Thermal Stability of Aliphatic and Semiaromatic Polyamides: Tailoring the Choice of Isothermal Aging Temperature by Using Kinetic Models of Degradation

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Thermogravimetric analysis was performed to study the degradation of aliphatic and semiaromatic polyamides intended for the electrical insulation of future electric aircraft. Using the TGA results, the Flynn and Wall method and Toop's model, the activation energies for the degradation processes were calculated, and kinetic models of the degradation ...

Grain refinement impact on the mechanical properties and wear behavior of Mg-9Gd-3Y-2Zn-0.5Zr alloy after decreasing temperature reciprocating upsetting-extrusion

open access: yesJournal of Magnesium and Alloys, 2022
Based on the deforming technique of severe plastic deformation (SPD), the grain refinement of a Mg-9Gd-3Y-2Zn-0.5Zr alloy treated with decreasing temperature reciprocating upsetting-extrusion (RUE) and its influence on the mechanical properties and wear ...
