This article probes the absorption peak of wood cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, wood nano cellulose, and cotton nano cellulose in the terahertz band to calculate the crystallinity, and the result compared with XRD and FT-IR analysis.

Article proposes using emission spectra to investigate the purity of hematite (α-Fe₂O₃) and magnetite (Fe₃O₄).

This article provides an extended analysis of void shape by means of X-ray computed tomography (CT) applied to fused deposition modeling (FDM) samples. Furthermore, a relation between the tensile mechanical properties and digital void measurements is established. The results lead to the formulation of a novel criterion that predicts the mechanical behavior of AM components.

Article characterizing an assortment of photopolymers and stereolithography processes to produce 3D-printed molds and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) castings of micromixing devices. The study shows that 3D-printed soft tooling can provide other benefits such as multiple cross-sections and other potential layouts on a single mold.

Article focusing on the modification of optical properties through folding, or “origami,” of graphene covering a plasmonic metal channel grating. This work is especially critical to understanding tailored deep plasmon emission from geometrically-modulated conducting sheets such as graphene.

Article synthesizing an eco-friendly and novel water treatment material using sodium lignosulfonate modified polystyrene (SLPS), which can be used to eliminate phenols in aqueous solution. Results show that SLPS displayed a great potential for eliminating phenol from polluted water as a kind of novel and effective adsorbent.

Article investigating the formation of hydrophobic layers on wood surface without breaking the wood’s original structure. Results suggested that the nano and micron hollow mesoporous microsphere coating was an effective method to fabricate extremely hydrophobic wood products.

Article investigating a non-conductive sensor textile as a viable solution for corrosion in underground and submerged steel pipes. The results offer a new option for sub-surface corrosion sensing using low cost, easily fabricated sensor textiles.

This article developed a new cable-less seismograph system, which can transmit seismic data in real-time and automatically perform high-precision differential self-positioning. Combining the ZigBee technology with the high-precision differential positioning module, this new seismograph system utilized the wireless personal area network (WPAN) and real-time kinematic (RTK) technologies to improve its on-site performances and to make the field quality control (QC) and self-positioning possible. With the advantages of low-cost, good scalability, and good compatibility, the proposed new cable-less seismograph system can improve the field working efficiency and data processing capability. It has potential applications in noise seismology and mobile seismic monitoring.
