Article Abstract
Aging and deterioration of building structures have been persistent concerns in the field of engineering. To address these challenges while supporting modern green and sustainable development goals, this study introduces an innovative reinforcement system that employs steel textiles as the primary reinforcing material. The steel textiles were engineered by optimizing the compatibility between steel fibers and a hot melt adhesive (HMA). These textiles were then used to reinforce concrete structures, creating a steel textile-reinforced mortar (STRM)-reinforced concrete system. The study also examined the durability of the steel textiles and the interfacial bonding performance within the STRM-reinforced concrete system. The results showed that the compatibility between steel fibers and ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (HMA-2) is better, and the steel textiles prepared with it have superior hydrothermal and corrosion resistance. After the system had been maintained for 28 days, the overall flexural strength of the STRM-reinforced concrete system was increased by 100.03%, the interfacial shear load by 49.54%, the interfacial shear stiffness by 61.2%, and the positive tensile bond performance by 26.1%. This proves that STRM has a good reinforcement effect on the concrete reinforcement system.

This study assesses the economic and environmental performance of the supply chain of coking coal and solid recovered fuel-an often overlooked component of product life cycles-to fifteen European steel plants, by investigating different input combinations and transport methods across six scenarios including imports from both within and outside Europe via ship, road, rail, and river. Results showed that Pre-2022, abroad coking coal was cheaper than local coal, but in 2022, a sharp rise in global prices was driven by three key factors: the European ban on Russian imports, the continental energy crisis, and global shipping disruptions, rendering local coal cheaper. By 2023-2024, markets stabilized, reverting toward pre-pandemic levels.

Background: Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] is an environmental toxicant extensively used in a variety of industrial processes including chrome plating, leather tanning, textile manufacturing, aircraft production, and stainless-steel production. Our previous study reported that exposure to Cr(VI) inhibited C2C12 myogenic differentiation in a dose-dependent manner, yet the transcriptional mechanisms underlying Cr(VI)-induced disruption of myogenesis remains poorly understood. This study aimed to characterize the global transcriptional alterations during C2C12 myogenic differentiation and identify molecular pathways disrupted upon Cr(VI) exposure.

In this work, the effect of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) as a nanofiller on the corrosion protection of epoxy resin coatings was examined. To solve problems like poor solvent swelling resistance and micropore formation during the solidification and shrinkage of epoxy resin coatings, NCC was modified with a silane coupling agent. Alkyl chains and active amine groups were grafted onto its surface, improving the dispersibility of NCC in organic solvents and its bonding with epoxy resin.

To address the graphitization of diamond induced by high temperatures during laser cladding of diamond-reinforced composites, this study proposes a laser cladding method utilizing Inconel 718 (IN718) nickel-based alloy as a transition layer which has a lower melting point than the substrate of 45# steel. And then, in order to analyze the detailed characteristics of the samples, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), EDS, Raman spectral analyzer, super-depth-of-field microscope, and friction tests were used. Experimental study and the test results demonstrate that the IN718 transition layer enhances coating performance through dual mechanisms: firstly, its relatively low melting point (1392 °C) reduces the molten pool's peak temperature, effectively suppressing thermal-induced graphitization of the diamond; on the other hand, simultaneously it acts as a diffusion barrier to inhibit Fe migration from the substrate and weaken Fe-C interfacial catalytic reactions.
