Sargassum-based particleboards for sustainable construction: Performance of pelagic and benthic biomass combined with agro-industrial residues

This study demonstrates that combining pelagic and benthic sargassum biomass with agro-industrial residues like sugarcane bagasse and coconut husk fibers is a technically feasible and sustainable strategy for producing medium-density particleboards suitable for non-structural applications, thereby addressing environmental challenges while promoting circular economy principles.

Comparative Boriding Behavior of Conventionally Manufactured and Additively Manufactured AISI 316L Stainless Steel

This study reveals that while additive manufacturing of AISI 316L stainless steel initially hinders boriding at 900°C due to elemental segregation barriers, the high dislocation density and cellular structures at 1100°C act as short-circuit diffusion paths that significantly accelerate Fe2B layer growth while simultaneously triggering complex microstructural transformations including carbide formation and sigma phase nucleation.

Wetting, spreading and interfacial reactions of CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 melts on yttria-stabilized zirconia

This study demonstrates that the wetting and spreading of CMAS melts on yttria-stabilized zirconia are driven by interfacial reactions that deplete yttria and reduce zirconia solubility, leading to the formation of Y-depleted ZrO₂ and continuous contact angle reduction, whereas on alumina substrates, the interface is stabilized by anorthite formation, resulting in constant contact angles.

A Proline-Based 'Redox–Release' Platform for Programmed Access to Diverse Sulfur(VI) and Fluoroalkyl Radicals

This paper introduces a modular proline-based "redox–release" platform that decouples radical identity from activation mode, enabling programmable access to diverse sulfur(VI) and fluoroalkyl radicals via a shared α-amino radical intermediate through complementary oxidative and reductive pathways.
