Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and poly(3,4-ethylene dioxythiophene):poly(4-styrene-sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) composites were tested to determine their suitability for charging small-scale batteries in conjunction with a piezoelectric actuator as an energy harvester. Two different PEDOT:PSS patterns (zigzag and serpentine) were tested, and the maximum DC voltag ...

Organophosphate esters (OPEs) raise growing environmental and human health concerns globally. However, numerous novel OPEs lack data on physicochemical properties, which are essential for assessing environmental fate, exposure, and risks. This study predicted water solubility (Sw), vapor pressure (Vp), octanol-water partition coefficient (Kow), and octano ...

Research on MICP technology for ground improvement began in the early 2000s, and since then, it has been considered as innovative research. The field of applications is showing signs of expanding from sandy soil stabilization to remediation. However, the research has not always progressed, because it is extremely difficult to evaluate the ability (viabili ...
