Remediation of Expansive Soils Utilizing Waste Glass Powder

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science
Abstract Some types of plastic clay swell significantly when water comes into contact with them and then suffer from shrinkage when they lose water. Buildings built on such soil are exposed to many problems due to the increased uplift forces on the foundation generated by the swell.

Switchable Supramolecular Adhesive by Tuning Interfacial Bonding and Modulus

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The supramolecular adhesive (HyDiP) shows reversible adhesion and recyclability. In the dehydrated state, it is dense, stiff (E ≈445 MPa), transparent, and provides strong bonding with adhesion strengths up to 4.65 MPa. In the hydrated state, it becomes porous, soft (E ≈0.11 MPa), and detaches easily, enabling sustainable high‐strength applications ...
