This study demonstrates a cost-effective, pilot-scale production route for high-performance hot-work tool steel using induction furnace melting and electro-slag remelting of scrap, which yields a refined microstructure with superior mechanical properties suitable for forging die applications.
This study demonstrates that terpolymers synthesized from allyl esters of C6, C8, and C10 acids with styrene and butyl methacrylate exhibit excellent solubility and multi-functional performance in semi-synthetic oils, significantly enhancing anti-wear and friction-reducing properties while maintaining rheological stability.
This study demonstrates that phosphoric acid-modified maize husk and maize cob serve as an effective, economical adsorbent for removing bromocresol purple from water, with adsorption kinetics best described by the pseudo-second-order model and equilibrium data fitting the Langmuir isotherm with a maximum capacity of 14.95 mg g⁻¹.
This study utilizes first-principles calculations and molecular dynamics simulations to map the binding energies and temperature-dependent behaviors of water molecules on a single cellulose chain, revealing that weakly bound water molecules are mobile at room temperature and that water adsorption stabilizes hydrophilic OH sites while enhancing the reactivity of ether oxygen atoms between glucose rings.
This study demonstrates that H₃PO₄-functionalized biochar derived from sewage sludge effectively removes Cr(VI) through a mechanism involving electrostatic attraction, complexation, and reduction to Cr(III), with adsorption efficiency increasing under acidic conditions and higher temperatures.
This study reports the eco-friendly, single-step green synthesis of spherical titanium dioxide nanoparticles (120–140 nm) using *Enicostemma littorale* plant extracts, which demonstrated effective photocatalytic degradation of various dyes, achieving 80% degradation of Rhodamine B.
This study demonstrates that alkali-treated hybrid kenaf–sisal fibre reinforced epoxy composites offer superior mechanical, thermal, and dielectric properties compared to conventional fibre boards, making them a promising eco-friendly alternative for high-voltage insulation applications.
By combining operando synchrotron SAXS/WAXS with simultaneous pH monitoring, this study elucidates a four-stage crystallization pathway for calcium carbonate that proceeds via a transient amorphous intermediate and supports a dissolution–reprecipitation mechanism.
This paper reports a metal-assisted strategy using AgF₂ to lower the LUMO energy of heteroarenes, enabling the first direct radical amidation of substrates like pyrazines with amino acid-derived amidyl radicals to form complex C–N bonds under mild conditions while preserving stereochemistry.
This study reports the synthesis of ZIF-derived Fe/Co/Zn ternary metal oxides embedded in N-doped carbon, which exhibit exceptional pseudocapacitive performance with a specific capacitance of 1070 F/g and robust hydrogen evolution reaction activity, making them promising multifunctional electrode materials for energy storage and conversion applications.
