This comprehensive review systematically summarizes recent advances in TMDs-based absorbers, with particular …
Abstract Simultaneously achieving mechanical robustness and autonomous self-healing in ionogels remains a fundamental challenge for durable, skin-like electronics. Conventional approaches often improve mechanical strength by introducing rigid or densely cross-linked polymer networks, but such strategies inevitably restrict polymer chain mobility and hinder dynamic bond reconfig…
Abstract Wearable flexible sensors for underwater communication and biomotion monitoring are gaining attention. However, developing gel-based strain sensors with high toughness, anti-swelling performance, robust underwater adhesion, and long-term stability remains challenging. Herein, we present a hydrophobic eutectogel (DPF-Zn@LNP-HEG) fabricated via the assembly of a polymeri…
Abstract Highly loaded magneto-dielectric composite systems are promising for achieving strong electromagnetic loss and structural design flexibility, yet their processability and geometric controllability remain extremely challenging. Herein, a rheologically engineered direct ink writing (DIW) 3D printing strategy is developed. Graphene (Gr) is introduced to reconstruct the pa…
Abstract Noninvasive detection of ultra-weak biomagnetic signals is crucial for modern biosensing, but conventional magnetic sensors are fundamentally limited by intrinsic noise. Orthogonal fluxgates (OFGs) enable high signal-to-noise-ratio detection of weak magnetic fields, yet their performance is still constrained by intrinsic 1/f noise and Barkhausen-related magnetic fluctu…

ABSTRACT Recycled powder recycling is a popular global research hotspot, with its optimal replacement ratio being a key research focus. Traditional studies limit the recycled powder content in cement to below 30 % to guarantee stable cement performance. Recycled cement was defined as the composite material prepared by mixing hardened cement powder (HCP) with ordinary cement as …
ABSTRACT The current study explores the effectiveness of recycled tires as a pavement reinforcement material and compares their performance with conventional commercial geocell (CGC) reinforcement. Recycled tire cellular grid (RTCG) and recycled tire cell (RTC) are prepared using waste tires for use as reinforcing materials. Laboratory prototype pavements are constructed and te…
ABSTRACT This study presents a comprehensive evaluation and optimization methodology for a novel magneticv tracer sealant, integrating physical experiments and response surface methodology (RSM) to assess its rheological properties and particle suspension behavior. The experimental findings indicate that the water-cement ratio exerts the most substantial influence on the rheolo…
ABSTRACT The viability of lime kiln dust (LKD) as a substitute filler in asphalt paving materials has been assessed to determine its suitability for road surfacing applications. This study compares the chemical composition, environmental impact, and leaching behavior to conventional fillers like ordinary portland cement (OPC) and hydrated lime (HL). Using attenuated total refle…
ABSTRACT To achieve a synergistic effect of various fibers in hot-mix asphalt, an optimization method for determining the optimal composition ratio of hybrid fiber (HF), containing lignin, polyester, and basalt fibers (BFs) was presented according to the simplex centroid design method and the rheological properties of HF-reinforced asphalt mortar. Additionally, the pavement per…
ABSTRACT Alkali-activated slag (AAS) systems offer a sustainable approach for valorizing industrial solid wastes, thereby lessening the environmental impact of both cement production and landfilling. Although granite (GN) and dolomite (DM) wastes are abundant by-products, their use in AAS materials for performance enhancement has not been systematically investigated. This study…
ABSTRACT In civil engineering projects, the practice of partial excavation or backfilling of slopes often results in landslide occurrences because of the redistribution of internal stress within the slope mass. This paper presents the findings from scaled-model tests conducted to investigate the reinforcement of high-fill embankment slopes using anti-slide piles. During the fil…
ABSTRACT The time-history mechanisms governing the seismic bending behavior of pile–slab retaining walls and associated slope deformation remain poorly understood. This knowledge gap limits the development of multilevel performance-based design methods for these structures. In this study, a series of shaking table tests was conducted on a pile–slab wall–reinforced slope with a …
ABSTRACT The spherical hinge, acting as a swivel bridge’s pivotal load-bearing element, undergoes a highly intricate stress distribution under high-pressure conditions, which poses significant challenges for precise field measurements and theoretical analyses. To tackle this problem, the current study formulates a model for indoor scaling distortions in the spherical hinge fram…
