Abstract: Low average temperature, large temperature difference, and continual freeze-thaw (F-T) cycles are the typical climatic characteristics of cold plateau regions. F-T cycles and the asphalt-aggregate ratio of an asphalt mixture ...

Abstract: Lithium-ion traction batteries are increasingly used in transportation, such as electric vehicles and buses. To reduce the life cycle cost of traction batteries, material recycling is a technical route that must be considered. ...

Abstract: Stiffness and fatigue threshold are important material parameters in load-carrying applications. However, it is impossible to achieve both high stiffness and high threshold for single-network elastomers and single-network ...
