Recently calcium alginate has been successfully applied to encapsulate asphalt rejuvenator, which can protect asphalt rejuvenator from early leakage and release asphalt rejuvenator when triggered by specific factors such as cracks. The interfacial adhesion property of asphalt binder with calcium alginate carrier is of great importance to its actual performance. In this paper, the molecular model of the interface region between asphalt binder and calcium alginate was established, and molecular dynamics simulations were performed on it to investigate the molecular interaction at the interface region. By extracting and processing the data during the simulation process, the interfacial adhesion behavior was expounded using the spreading coefficient (S), permeation depth and permeation degree. Furthermore, the interfacial adhesion strength was evaluated by adopting the interfacial adhesion work. Results showed that the value of S was greater than 0, implying that asphalt binder could wet the surface of calcium alginate. Saturate had the highest value of permeation degree, followed by resin, aromatic and asphaltene. However, asphalt binder could not infiltrate into the interior of TiO, only accumulating and spreading on the surface of TiO. The interfacial adhesion work of unaged and aged asphalt binder to calcium alginate was -114.18 mJ/m and -186.37 mJ/m, respectively, similar to that of asphalt-aggregate interface. The van der Waals interactions contributed the most to the formation of the interfacial adhesion strength. In addition, a certain degree aging of asphalt binder and addition of titanium dioxide in the calcium alginate carrier were helpful to enhance the interfacial adhesion strength.

Designing an ideal catalyst with antifouling performance and enhanced conversion efficiency can prevent microbial or dye contamination and protect the active phase of the catalysts at the triple-phase interface during disinfection processes. Herein, we developed an Lous-leaf-inspired nanometal anchored redox-active Janus nanoarchitecture with dynamic wetting abilities and synergistic catalytic/antibacterial performances. Specifically, the redox-active hydrophilic polydopamine (PDA) was used to mediate the localized self-assembly and nucleation of Ag on a cotton fabric without using other reductants.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effect of chlorhexidine (CHX) cavity disinfectant on interfacial microleakage and micro-tensile bond strength (μTBS) of a universal adhesive bonded to dentin in both self-etch (SE) and etch-and-rinse (ER) modes.
Methods: Class I cavities were prepared in the coronal dentin of extracted human teeth and assigned to two etching modes (SE or ER), then subdivided by disinfection with or without CHX (n = 5). Cavities were restored using Single Bond Universal Adhesive and Filtek Z350 XT composite.

Shooting nail is a novel fastening approach for the reinforcement of concrete bridges and building structures using bonding steel plates, offering enhanced construction efficiency compared to traditional chemical anchor bolts. In addition, it may provide additional collaborative interfacial shear capacity contribution with adhesive bonding, but relative research is limited. To comprehensively explore the interfacial shear capacity of steel plate-concrete with adhesive bonding and shooting nail fastening, experimental investigations were first conducted.

Preparation of ion-conductive hydrogels with excellent mechanics, good conductivity and adhesiveness is promising for flexible sensors, but remains a challenge. Here, we prepare a self-adhesive and ion-conductive hydrogel by introducing cellulose nanofibers (CNF) and ZnSO into a covalently-crosslinked poly (acrylamide-co-2-acrylamide-2-methyl propane sulfonic acid) (P(AM-co-AMPS)) network. Owing to the hydrogen bonding and metal coordination interactions among P(AM-co-AMPS) chains, CNF, and Zn, the resulting P(AM-co-AMPS)/CNF/ZnSO hydrogel exhibits high stretchability (1092 %), high toughness (244 kJ m), and skin-like elasticity (3.

This study investigates the effect of fibers from cotton and polyester textiles on the properties of fiber-reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites aimed at durable and load-bearing materials. Herein we developed a process-centered strategy to introduce 52 wt% of fibers within the thermoplastic matrix, while ensuring proper interfacial coupling. We examined the mechanical, thermal, and rheological properties of composite materials that integrated cotton and polyester waste fibers into PP matrices with different coupling agents.
