Fiber‐Modified Open‐Graded Friction Courses: Unveiling Enhanced Workability and Durability in Pavements

open access: yesEngineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 1, January 2026.
Open‐Graded Friction Course (OGFC) mixtures for flexible pavements. ABSTRACT Open‐Graded Friction Course (OGFC) mixtures in flexible pavements are known for their efficient drainage characteristics, but concerns exist regarding their structural weaknesses and short lifespans. This study investigates methods to improve the mechanical performance of OGFC

Delignification Pathways for the Engineering of Nanostructured Wood

open access: yesSmall Structures, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
Delignification severity in wood is determined by experimental parameters that control the removal of noncellulosic components, thereby shaping the resulting chemistry and microstructure. Although delignification is crucial for engineered wood fabrication, quantitative guidelines spanning different chemistries and processes are lacking.
