Existing experimental research on bond properties of the interface between Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and damaged concrete is limited, although CFRP strengthening technology has been widely used for corroded reinforced concrete structures. This work investigated the bond behavior of CFRP to the corrosion-cracked concrete interface, in which three factors were considered for experimentation, including corrosion degree, concrete strength and concrete cover thickness. The tests were conducted by developing a self-balancing double shear lap test device. In addition, a corrosion scene was provided simultaneously to simulate the external corrosion environment. The results showed that three peeling modes of CFRP sheets were observed with respect to corrosion degrees of the steel bars. The effects of the three factors on the stripping bearing capacity and effective bond length of CFRP sheets were discussed by systematic parametric analysis. Finally, a nonlinear degenerate law of CFRP-to-concrete interface considering the corrosion degree was improved and verified in this study.

Stereocontrolled construction of tetrasubstituted olefins has been an attractive issue yet remains challenging for synthetic chemists. In this manuscript, alkynyl selenides, when treated with ArBCl, are subject to an exclusive 1,1-carboboration, affording tetrasubstituted alkenes with excellent levels of E-selectivity. Detailed mechanistic studies, supported by DFT calculations, elucidates the role of selenium in this 1,1-addition process.

The discontinuous fiber reinforced hydrogels are easy to fail due to the fracture of the fiber matrix during load-bearing. Here, we propose a novel strategy based on the synergistic reinforcement of interconnected natural fiber networks at multiple scales to fabricate hydrogels with extraordinary mechanical properties. Specifically, the P(AA-AM)/Cel (P(AA-AM), poly(acrylic acid-acrylamide); Cel, cellulose) hydrogel is synthesized by copolymerizing AA and AM on a substrate of paper with an interconnected hollow cellulose microfiber network.

α-Terpineol and 1,8-cineole are two important compounds in essential oils. This study developed an efficient method to recover α-terpineol from model oil (MO) based on association extraction by in situ formations of deep eutectic solvent (DES) between α-terpineol and some quaternary ammonium salts (QASs) by hydrogen-bond (HB) interaction. Such interaction could be broken almost completely by the introduction of water, due to the stronger HB interaction between water and QASs, which could release α-terpineol by liquid-liquid separation and save the organic solvents consumption.

With 3D printing technology, fiber-reinforced polymer composites can be printed with radical shapes and properties, resulting in varied mechanical performances. Their high strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance are already advantages that make them viable for physical civil infrastructure. It is important to understand these composites' behavior when used in concrete, as their association can impact debonding failures and overall structural performance.
