A Termite‐Inspired Alternative to Cement
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A termite‐inspired composite of clay, cellulose, and lignin forms a dense fibrous network with concrete‐like strength (32 MPa) and superior elasticity, processed at ambient temperature. Abstract Clay combined with organic materials is used by termites as a strong and durable construction material for their mounds with minimal environmental impact. Here,

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The pyrene and ether groups are incorporated into the covalent triazine polymer (CTP) structure. The synergistic effect of the two functional groups endows CTP with better electron transfer, light absorption, and oxygen activation properties. An impressive apparent quantum yield (13.2% @420 nm) and a remarkable solar‐to‐chemical conversion efficiency ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Stable ion‐exchange doping of organic semiconductor single crystals is demonstrated using bulky hydrophobic anions. Electrical conductivity is significantly enhanced and maintained under ambient air and elevated temperatures, while intrinsic strain sensitivity remains intact over 100 000 strain cycles. The approach highlights the critical role of anion

Taste and Quality Perception of Attributes in Product Differentiation: An Econometric Model with Latent Variables [PDF]
We study the consumers' preferences for the various attributes of a product. We consider that the consumers'choices are not guided by observed characteristics of a product, but by the quality perception consumers have on these attributes.

Calibration of calculation models of wooden guardrails with Operational Modal Analysis [PDF]
, 2014 This study analyses the differences between two calculation models for guardrails on building sites that use wooden boards and tubular steel posts. Wood was considered an isotropic material in one model and an orthotropic material in a second model.
