Characteristics, properties and limitations of per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and fluoropolymers

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.

Estimation of Wear Process of Grinding Wheels

open access: yesJournal of the Japan Society of Precision Engineering, 1969
The wear process of grinding wheels is discussed by the following methods.1) The value of tan a is calculated by measuring the normal grinding force, where a is the half apical angle of the cone assumed to keep with ability of grain tips. On the basis of this result, the variation of the mean shape of grain tips is discussed.2) The profile curve of ...

Beyond Growth: Governance and Education as Drivers of Environmental Health in an EKC‐Based PLS‐SEM Framework

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isolating environmental issues from their broader social and political context limits understanding of their true drivers. In this sense, factors such as governance and education can be powerful determinants of environmental performance. This research examines the factors influencing the Environmental Health component of the Environmental ...

Unlocking Nanoscale Microstructural Detail in Aluminum Alloys Through Differential Phase Contrast Segmentation in STEM

open access: yesSmall Methods, EarlyView.
Differential phase contrast (DPC) imaging in STEM is demonstrated as a rapid, versatile segmentation tool for advanced aluminum alloys. Decomposition of false‐color DPC micrographs resolves nanoclusters, precipitate variants, dislocation strain fields, nanostructures, and grain boundaries ‐ all within a single and fast acquisition.

Increasing the Reuse Potential of High‐Strength Steels by Extending the Fatigue Life through Surface Treatments

open access: yessteel research international, EarlyView.
Surface reconditioning through mechanical and electrochemical polishing is shown to extend the fatigue life of predamaged 42CrMo4 steel by over 12 times. By removing ≈100 μm of surface material, surface‐driven fatigue damage is mitigated. This study introduces a reuse potential metric to evaluate fatigue recovery and support sustainable steel reuse.
