Regulated Ion‐Diffusion Hydrogels for Subtle and Multimodal Temperature‐Strain Sensing in Wound Monitoring

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A soft, dual‐channel hydrogel patch enables simultaneous detection of wound temperature and strain by integrating ion‐diffusion‐mediated thermoelectric and resistive sensing. The conformal design maintains stable performance during motion, capturing subtle inflammatory and mechanical changes for continuous wound monitoring.

Self-Compacting Concrete Reinforced with Twisted-Bundle Macro-Synthetic Fiber

Applied Sciences, 2019
The use of self-compacting concrete (SCC) reinforced with fibers has great potential in the precast concrete industry as the concrete can be delivered straight into the moulds, without any vibration or compacting effort.

Effect of reinforcement corrosion on punching shear of RC flat slabs incorporating steel and synthetic fibers

Case Studies in Construction Materials
Reinforcement corrosion weakens the punching shear capacity of RC flat slabs. This study tested twelve large-scale slabs (1500 × 1500 × 100 mm) with hooked-end steel or macro-synthetic fibers (0.5–1.0 % by volume) and control samples.
