Effects of organic content on soil-water characteristic curve and soil shrinkage

, 2021
Organic matters commonly exist in the subsoil within the tree rooting zones. The organic content of soil has been known to affect soil properties. In this study, the soil organic contents at various locations around trees were investigated and found to ...

Strong Fully Reprocessable Engineered Wood Composites

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Engineering a hyperbranched adhesive with complementary imine‐bond and hydrogen‐bond networks, combining it with wood particles to fabricate the wood composite (WP/HTP) under mild hot‐pressing conditions. The WP/HTP exhibits 100% mechanical strength recovery after three cycles of reprocessing, and the reprocessed modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of

Soil- Water Characteristic Curve Model-Silty Sand Soil [PDF]

, 2014
The implementation of unsaturated soil mechanics into engineering practice is dependent, to a large extent, upon the ability to estimate unsaturated soil property functions. The soil-water characteristic curve is the basis for estimating the permeability

Experimental study on soil-water characteristic curve of expensive soil considering net normal stress

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2018
The expansive soil is a kind of special soil with swell-shrinking, fractured and over-consolidated properties. In engineering construction, the expansive soil is generally under unsaturated state and complex applied stress environment. It is practical to

Culinary Chemistry as a Platform for Interfacial Materials Design

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Culinary processes control interfaces through heating, shear, gelation, and molecular transport. This Review connects selected gastronomic examples with food‐derived nanomaterials, plasmonic sensing, anthocyanin photovoltaics, and intelligent packaging. Original agar‐based plasmonic films illustrate the proposed translation.
