Anchorage Research for CFRP Tendons: A Review.

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) tendons are composite materials that offer significant advantages in terms of tensile strength and lightweight properties. They are being increasingly utilized in the construction industry, particularly in bridge cables and building structures. However, due to their relatively poor transverse mechanical properties compared to steel cables, securing these tendons with anchors presents a challenge.

Ultrafine Pd Nanoparticles Anchored on Nitrogen-Doping Carbon for Boosting Catalytic Transfer Hydrogenation of Nitroarenes.

The catalytic performance of metal particles is closely related to the particle size. In this article, ultrafine palladium nanoparticles anchored on nitrogen-doping carbon support (Pd/N-XC72R) were fabricated, wherein the N-XC72R was prepared through low-temperature annealing of Vulcan XC72R carbon with urea at 300 °C. Nitrogen dopant on the surface of carbon support can remarkably strengthen the affinity of the metal nanoparticles onto the support.
