Surface Oxidation and Defect Formation Under Five Photoaging Regimes Enhance Cd2+ and Pb2+ Adsorption by Polyethylene and Polyvinyl Chloride Microplastics

Photoaging alters polymer surface chemistry and can thereby regulate the interfacial binding of metal ions by microplastics. In this study, polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) microplastics were exposed for three weeks to five regimes comprising UV-air, UV-ultrapure wa...

A Defect Detection Method for Rail Ultrasonic B-Scan Images Based on a Multi-Scale Dense Attention Network

Rail internal defects pose significant threats to railway operational safety, and ultrasonic B-scan imaging provides an effective nondestructive testing approach for visualizing subsurface rail conditions. However, manual interpretation of B-scan images is time-consuming and depe...

Theoretical investigation of coupled rain-wind effects on the dynamics of continuous stay cables

Abstract Rain-wind induced vibrations present a serious risk to the durability and lifespan of cable-stayed bridges. This study investigates the complex dynamics of continuous stay cables with a moving water rivulet under pulsating wind conditions. A previously established theore...

Lithium Acetylacetonate Mediated Multidimensional Optimization for Reversible Zn Anodes

ABSTRACT Aqueous zinc‐ion batteries (AZIBs) are promising for large‐scale energy storage owing to their high safety, yet their practical application is hindered by uncontrollable zinc dendrite growth, interfacial side reactions, and poor deposition reversibility of zinc anodes. H...
