Wear and Tear of Tyres: A Stealthy Source of Microplastics in the Environment
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2017 Wear and tear from tyres significantly contributes to the flow of (micro-)plastics into the environment. This paper compiles the fragmented knowledge on tyre wear and tear characteristics, amounts of particles emitted, pathways in the environment, and ...

The effect of messaging and gender on intentions to wear a face covering to slow down COVID-19 transmission [PDF]
, 2020 Now that various countries are or will soon be moving towards relaxing shelter-in-place rules, it is important that people use a face covering, to avoid an exponential resurgence of the spreading of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

Reactive wear protection through strong and deformable oxide nanocomposite surfaces
Nature Communications, 2021 Wear-related energy and material loss cost over 2500 Billion Euro per year. Traditional wisdom suggests that high-strength materials reveal low wear rates, yet, their plastic deformation mechanisms also influence their wear performance. High strength and
