A flame retardant nonwoven fabric for sound absorption, using para-aramid fibre and polyester fibre as a substitute for conventional materials (such as glass wool, flame retardant foam and flame retardant polyester fibre) was investigated. A combination of nonwoven fabric and paper was studied, and the resulting sound absorption qualities and sound permeation loss were compared. By attaching para-aramid paper with less than 30 cc/sec/cm2 of permeability to nonwoven fabric, the sound absorption performance at over 2000 Hz was better than that of glass wool. We named this material “Flame Retardant Nonwoven Fabric for Sound Absorption” RUBA®. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A UV-activated oxygen indicator was developed in this study. The indicator was prepared by dispersing TiO2 nanoparticles, glycerol, and methylene blue in poly(ethylene oxide) solution using aqueous ethanol as a solvent. The solution was electrospun or solvent cast to produce oxygen-sensitive fibrous membrane and continuous cast film, respectively. Sensitivity characteristics of the resulting indicators to UV irradiation and oxygen detection, at different component ratios, were evaluated. Scanning electron microscopy results show that the diameter of the electrospun fibers varied from about 350 to 1000 nm. The electrospun indicators were 4-5 times more sensitive to UV irradiation as compared to continuous film indicators prepared by casting, mainly due to morphological differences between the two poly(ethylene oxide) carriers. Increasing ethanol concentration of the electrospinning solvent enhanced the sensitivity of the indicator to UV irradiation. Moreover, the photo-bleaching step of the indicator was highly dependent on the active component ratios in the formulation. FTIR spectroscopy was employed to study the interactions between the active compounds in the indicator. This study demonstrated that electrospun TiO2-based indicator could be promising for oxygen detection in modified atmosphere packaging applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

High-entropy borides are deemed robust candidates because of their complex combination of entropy-driven, multi-component disordered solid solutions. They are particularly remarkable for their unique single-crystal structures and significant bandgap. This structural adaptability positions them uniquely among materials, setting them apart from conventional transition metal diborides. Researchers have been fascinated by the appeal of high-entropy borides for a long time, driven by the groundbreaking idea of 'High entropy ceramics'. Nevertheless, the lack of thorough review papers in this field has hindered the progress of creating strong and durable high-entropy borides. This paper proposes adopting a collaborative strategy to properly negotiate this unexplored region. This perspective covers the up-to-date research on successfully synthesized high-entropy boride complexes. It examines compositional strategies, historical backgrounds, structural complexity, fabrication methods, mechanical, thermal, and oxidation properties, as well as emergent properties with potential uses, pathways, and future possibilities. This attempt challenges materials science traditions by introducing novel materials with superior performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the advent of several tools and web engines trained for finding journal articles out of billions of research papers on millions of topics in different databases with a high degree of generalizability, it often leads to a loss of specificity. Scientific pursuits need a tool to extract data from selected resources for performing domain-specific tasks. Current algorithms and generalized tools lack specificity and are challenged by errors in analysing data from a bundle of specific documents selected eclectically. Current work addresses the need for such a tool, which focuses on specificity based on users' input keywords and phrases to find relevant information from bundles of articles from the web. Reseractor is based on a customized algorithm, Whitespace, in synergy with output from open-access tools for document image analysis and focused domain data extraction using NLP. The current tool is designed for the material science domain with the features of adopting various generalized and scientific corpora as layers. It is tested on two sets of different bundles of papers and gives an accuracy of 81.12% along with a recall of 78.38% and a precision of 84.06%. Owing to the simple and direct applicability of algorithms, users from other domains can directly use their corpora in algorithms and remodel the tool for their purpose. Current work fulfills the need for domain-specific experimental data extraction stored in organized and structured databases for upcoming computational researchers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Bi(Fe Al)O ( x = 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7) samples were synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transformed infrared spectra, N-sorption, and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra, and their photocatalytic activities were evaluated by the degradation of methyl orange under visible-light irradiation. The results reveal that the Al substitution can effectively improve photocatalytic performance, which is attributed to the increase of surface area, the improvement of energy band structure, and the distortion of the Fe-O octahedron in Al-substituted samples. In addition, it is found that the photocatalytic activity to decompose methyl orange under visible-light illumination increases monotonically as x increases from zero to 0.5 in Bi(Fe Al)O and then decreases for x = 0.7, which is believed to be associated with the distribution of Fe ions over the octahedral and tetrahedral sites.
