Towards weathering and corrosion resistant, self-warning and self-healing epoxy coatings with tannic acid loaded nanocontainers

In this work, an active protective epoxy coating with weathering resistant, corrosion-warning, and self-healing properties was developed by incorporating tannic acid (TA) loaded mesoporous silica (MSN-TA) nanocontainers. The introduction of MSN-TA nanocontainers could alleviate the coating degradation via scavenging the radicals generated...

Laser-Induced Graphene Formation on Chitosan Derivatives toward Ecofriendly Electronics

Laser-induced graphene (LIG) has aroused a wide range of research interests ranging from micro-nano energy devices to the Internet of Things (IoT). Nevertheless, the non-degradability of most-used synthetic polymer carbon sources poses a serious threat to the environment. In this work, ecofriendly chitosan-based derivatives, including...

Rapid extraction of pavement aggregate gradation based on point clouds using deep learning networks

Usage of asphalt mixture with poor gradation will most likely lead to pavement deficiency. There is a growing need for rapid and non-destructive methods to extract pavement aggregate gradation. In this study, a deep learning-based method that utilizes point clouds data for gradation extraction was proposed. Firstly, a data enhancement...
