In this work, red mud (RM) was chemically modified by 0.1, 1, and 5 M H(3)PO(4) solution to prepare epoxy/RM nanocomposites. The effect of chemical treatment on a RM surface was studied in terms of pH, acid-base values, N(2)/77 K gas adsorption, equilibrium spreading pressure (pi(e)), and surface free energy. The mechanical interfacial properties of epoxy/RM nanocomposites was measured in the context of critical stress intensity factor (K(IC)) and critical strain energy release rate (G(IC)) measurements. From the experimental results, the acidic surface treatment led to a modification of the RM surface properties, such as the surface acid values, porosity, specific surface area, pi(e), and London dispersive component (gamma(S)(L)) of surface free energy of the treated RM as an increase of the treatment concentration. In the fracture toughness (K(IC) and G(IC)) measurements, the mechanical interfacial properties of epoxy/treated RM nanocomposites were intimately correlated with the improvement of interfacial adhesion between the RM surface and a matrix and the increase of gamma(S)(L) of surface free energy of the RM due to the development of S(BET) or porosity of RM surfaces.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) have received extensive research interests and investigations in the past decade. In this research, we report the first experimental measurement of the in-plane thermal conductivity of MoS monolayer under a large mechanical strain using optothermal Raman technique. This measurement technique is direct without additional processing to the material, and MoS's absorption coefficient is discovered during the measurement process to further increase this technique's precision.

Human sweat has the potential to be sufficiently utilized for noninvasive monitoring. Given the complexity of sweat secretion, the sensitivity and selectivity of sweat monitoring should be further improved. Here, we developed an olfactory-inspired separation-sensing nanochannel-based electronic for sensitive and selective sweat monitoring, which was simultaneously endowed with interferent separation and target detection performances.

Phase separation plays a crucial role in many natural and industrial processes, such as the formation of clouds and minerals and the distillation of crude oil. In metals and alloys, phase separation is an important approach often utilized to improve their mechanical strength for use in construction, automobile, and aerospace manufacturing. Despite its importance in many processes, the atomic details of phase separation are largely unknown.

Phytochlorins, a class of plant-derived tetrapyrroles, show great potential as sonosensitizers in sonodynamic therapy (SDT). The development of new phytochlorin-based sonosensitizers has significantly improved SDT, yet the absence of specialized sonodynamic systems limits their clinical translation. Herein, a dedicated ultrasound system along with a detailed step-by-step sonodynamic process from in vitro to in vivo is developed to activate phytochlorin-based sonosensitizers.
