Intensification of the freeze drying process by the control of both freezing and primary drying steps [PDF]
, 2013 The problem of optimization of freeze-drying cycles is addressed, with emphasis in both freezing and primary drying steps. In particular, this study shows that the control of the nucleation event produces more uniform batches (as ice nucleation is ...

Modelling unsaturated soil slopes subjected to wetting and drying cycles [PDF]
, 2008 Water infiltration changes the pore pressure distribution in unsaturated slopes leading to slope movement, and therefore has been one of the most common triggering mechanisms for landslides in tropical areas.

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Effect of wetting-drying cycles on mortar samples affected by DEF [PDF]
European Journal of Environmental and Civil Engineering, 2012 This article, which deals with the effect of wetting-drying (W-D) cycles on materials affected by delayed ettringite formation (DEF), has two main objectives. The first is to observe whether W-D cycles pre-damage samples, by using the replica technique. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations of replicas show that W-D cycles lead to microcracks

Investigation of Changes to Triaxial Shear Strength Parameters and Microstructure of Yili Loess with Drying–Wetting Cycles [PDF]
, 2021 This research examined the drying–wetting cycles induced changes in undrained triaxial shear strength parameters and microstructural changes of Yili loess. The drying–wetting cycles were selected as 0, 1, 3, 5, 10, 20 and 30.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Shellac, a centuries‐old natural resin, is reimagined as a green material for flexible electronics. When combined with silver nanowires, shellac films deliver transparency, conductivity, and stability against humidity. These results position shellac as a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers for transparent conductors in next‐generation ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.We propose a suture‐complementary approach that integrates optical skin clearing with a strain‐programmable luminescent adhesive patch. Hyaluronic acid promotes transdermal delivery of tartrazine to improve optical clearing and stabilizes its interaction with a photosensitizer. Optical clearing increases the penetration depth of visible light into skin,

STUDY ON SOIL BEHAVIOR UNDER MULTIPLE WETTING AND DRYING CYCLES [PDF]
, 2019 During thermal seasonal variations, expansive soils may exhibit increase in volume upon wetting (swell) and decrease in volume during drying (shrinkage).

European Journal of Soil Science, 2021 The impact of heat treatment and wetting–drying cycles on the wetting properties of sandy forest soils was explored. Topsoil and upper subsoil were sampled at three beech forest sites in northern Germany. The air‐dried soils were treated at 20, 40 and 80°

Wet-dry Cycling Delays the Gelation of Hyperbranched Polyesters: Implications to the Origin of Life [PDF]
Life, 2019 In extant biology, biopolymers perform multiple crucial functions. The biopolymers are synthesized by enzyme-controlled biosystems that would not have been available at the earliest stages of chemical evolution and consist of correctly sequenced and/or linked monomers.
