The waviness (first-order) and unevenness (second-order) of natural joints have different effects on the characterization of joint surface roughness. To accurately quantify the influence of the two-order asperity on the joint roughness coefficient (JRC) prediction of joint surface profile curve, the optimal sampling interval of the asperity was determined through the change of the R p {R}_{{rm{p}}} value of the joint surface profile curve. The separation of the two-order asperity of 48 joint surface profile curves was completed at the optimal sampling interval, and morphological parameters of the asperity such as i ave {i}_{{rm{ave}}} , R max {R}_{{rm{max }}} , and R p {R}_{{rm{p}}} were counted from three aspects: asperity angle of the profile curve, asperity degree, and the trace length. Based on the statistical results of the morphological parameters considering the two-order asperity, the new nonlinear prediction models were proposed. The results showed that the curve slope mutation point SI = 2 mm is the optimal separation distance of the two-order asperity of the joint surface profile curve. The refined separation method that considers the waviness and unevenness of morphological parameters can characterize the detailed morphological features of the joint surface in more dimensions. The support vector regression (SVR) and random forest (RF) models that take into account a two-order asperity separated results have higher accuracy than traditional models. The prediction accuracy has improved by 7–8% in SVR model compared with SVR(SO) and RF(SO). The SVR nonlinear model that considering separation of two-orders of joint surface roughness is more suitable for the prediction of JRC.","PeriodicalId":54484,"journal":{"name":"Reviews on Advanced Materials Science","volume":"39 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72411506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analyses of nanoparticles using dynamic light scattering showed that the addition of plant extracts to solutions allows one to obtain stable emulsions and decreased zeta potential (< −40 mV) and droplet size (<200 nm). In all investigated emulsions, the increase of antioxidative properties was observed when both EOs and plant extracts were used. The emulsion with clove oil stabilized with Quillaja saponaria bark saponins has the highest combined antioxidative properties (3.55 ± 0.01 μg gallic acid equivalent per g). Additionally, a stronger antibacterial action against Pseudomonas bacteria was observed for clove oil with Quillaja saponaria and cinnamon oil with Glycyrrhiza glabra. In addition, plant extracts did not affect significantly the other properties of the oil emulsions, e.g. wettability, colour, and refractive index. All results show that the proposed emulsions can be helpful in the preparation of multifunctional emulsions, where the co-action of saponins and EOs is especially beneficial.","PeriodicalId":54484,"journal":{"name":"Reviews on Advanced Materials Science","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74605710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In China, the proportion of people living in earthen structures rose to 36%, some of them in western Sichuan. Minority dwellings in western Sichuan, China, use local stone and yellow mud as building materials and have been used for thousands of years. Because yellow mud is a brittle material with poor mechanical properties, and because the region is prone to earthquakes, the walls are highly susceptible to damage under seismic action. To improve the mechanical properties of yellow mud, the yellow mud of Taoping Qiang Village in western Sichuan was studied and modified. Uniaxial compressive tests were conducted on the modified specimens, and the existing ontogenetic equations of raw soil-based materials were analyzed and optimized. Finally, we developed the constitutive models for yellow clay and modified yellow clay in the western Sichuan area, which can be used for different kinds of modified materials through the variation of parameters. The results show that the compressive strength of yellow clay is improved by adding the modified materials. The optimized constitutive model can better fit the test curves, which can provide a basis for theoretical calculations and seismic mitigation of minority residential structures in western Sichuan or similar structural systems.","PeriodicalId":54484,"journal":{"name":"Reviews on Advanced Materials Science","volume":"49 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76648963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The influence of heat treatment on the color and chemical changes of wood was studied by spectrophotometry, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and wet chemistry methods. As the temperature increased, a decrease in lightness (L*) and a simultaneous decrease in chromatic values (a*, b*) were observed, indicating darkening and browning of the wood surface. As a result of the heat treatment, the relative content of hemicelluloses decreased the most in merbau and mahogany, while the thermal stability of iroko and African padauk was higher. All examined wood species showed a strong correlation between the lightness difference value (ΔL*) and the content of hemicelluloses (r = 0.88–0.96).

Four kinds of recycled steel fiber-reinforced concrete samples with different volume contents were designed and made, and the loading impact experiments under five working conditions were carried out. Taking the drop weight and drop height as changing parameters, the corresponding blow counts of the first crack and sample failure under the impact of the drop hammer are recorded, and the ductility coefficients of different samples are calculated.

Studying the constitutive relationship between rock strength and deformation under loading is crucial for the design and evaluation of such scenarios. The new damage constitutive model considering the dynamic change of joint damage was developed to describe the behavior of rocks under loading in this work. First, considering the influence of jointed rock mass structural features in their entirety, the Drucker–Prager criterion and the Hoek–Brown criterion were combined. Second, based on the idea of macro–micro coupling, the calculation formulae of damage variables were derived. Finally, the damage constitutive model of the jointed rock mass was established, and the proposed model was fitted and compared with the test data. Results show that the variation rules for damage value and peak strength are opposite, and the stress–strain is highly sensitive to changes in the parameter s of the model. Moreover, the proposed model can accurately describe the effect of joint deterioration on the entire process of rock mass compression failure, which shows that the damage constitutive models are useful for evaluating the strength characteristics of jointed rock mass in engineering practice.","PeriodicalId":54484,"journal":{"name":"Reviews on Advanced Materials Science","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136373085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2020, the market for wood plastic composites was estimated to be worth $5.4 billion. By 2030, it is expected to have grown to $12.6 billion, with a compound annual growth rate of 8.9% between 2021 and 2030. The fundamental disadvantage of reinforced composites by natural fibers is the different nature of the hydrophilic lignocellulosic and the hydrophobic thermoplastic polymers, although natural fibers would lower total costs. These composites typically fail mechanically as a result of fiber debonding, breaking, and pull-out. In a fiber-reinforced composite, the matrix’s function could be described as distributing the force to the added fibers using interfacial shear stresses. A strong connection between the polymeric matrix and the fibers is necessary for this procedure. Weak adhesion at the interface prevents the composite from being used to its maximum potential and leaves it open to attacks from the environment that could damage it and shorten its lifespan. Poor mechanical performance is caused by insufficient adhesion between hydrophobic polymers and hydrophilic fibers in natural fiber-reinforced polymer composites. Consequently, during the past 20 years, a variety of chemical, thermal, and physical methods have been employed to address these issues. These methods largely concentrated on the grafting of chemical groups that could enhance the interfacial contacts between the matrix and natural fibers. This review article aimed to give information on several types of fiber treatments and natural fiber-treated composites with a specific focus on their physical and mechanical properties.","PeriodicalId":54484,"journal":{"name":"Reviews on Advanced Materials Science","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135506480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
