THE CONSISTENCY CONDITIONS FOR DENSITY LIMITS OF HYPOPLASTIC CONSTITUTIVE LAW

TASK Quarterly, 2000
The so called phase diagram of grain skeletons illustrates the range of possible void ratios between the pressure dependent bounds ei and et. It can be shown that in the framework of the actual hypoplastic model these bounds can be surpassed by ...

An Electrowetting Pump

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A tubular electrowetting pump moves alternating droplets through a millimeter‐wide channel in discrete, reversible steps, functioning as a fluidic stepper motor. With no moving parts and electrodes insulated from the liquid, it delivers silent, accurate flow. Flexibility allows the pump to be woven directly into textiles for wearable, medical, and soft‐

Water retention and suction stress of a partially saturated sand-clay mixture subjected to hydraulic hysteresis: Laboratory investigations and model evaluation [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
The properties of partially saturated soils are essential for geotechnical engineering since the majority of construction work takes place in the unsaturated zone between the ground surface and the groundwater table.

Reconfigurable Au Nanoparticle Monolayers on Regenerated Cellulose Hydrogels: Highly Sensitive SERS Detection of Polystyrene Micro/Nanoplastics With Interpretable Deep Learning

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A regenerated cellulose (RC) hydrogel‐based SERS substrate integrating a Marangoni‐transferred gold nanoparticle self‐assembled monolayer (Au‐SAM) is fabricated. Reswelling‐induced hotspot formation enhances polystyrene micro/nanoplastics (PS MNPs) detection in complex matrices, providing reproducible, high‐throughput SERS signals across diverse ...

How solid–liquid adsorption affects the liquid–vapor interface in pores

Vadose Zone Journal, 2022
The augmented Young–Laplace (AYL) equation has been widely used to describe the liquid–vapor interfaces affected by capillarity and adsorption, particularly in nanoporous or clay minerals where strong adsorptive interaction prevails.

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.
