Experimental Analysis of Mechanical Properties of the Unconventional Sand-Plastic Bricks Using Statistical Method

Journal of Engineering Science and Technology Review, 2020
Plastic wastes found in high percentage in the municipal solid wastes (MSW) have attracted consideration recently due to environmental safety issues. The plastic-wastes used as one of the raw-materials in the processing of construction related products, bricks in particular, is a new way of waste utilisation.

Flexoelectricity in Photoconversion: Fundamentals, Materials, and Outlooks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mechanical bending of a flexible cantilever induces a strain gradient in the photoactive material. The resulting flexoelectric field couples with photovoltaic and photoconductive effects, modulating charge generation, separation, and collection. A comparative analysis of oxide perovskites, halide perovskites, and two‐dimensional materials is presented,
