Moisture Content and Bulking of Aggregate01:10

Moisture Content and Bulking of Aggregate

482
The moisture content of aggregates is a crucial factor in construction, particularly in concrete mixing, as it influences the total water required in the mix. Moisture content represents the water coated on the exterior surface of the aggregate existing in a saturated and surface-dry condition. The total water content of a moist aggregate is the sum of its moisture content and water absorption.
When aggregates are exposed to rain or sit in stockpiles, they absorb moisture, which must be...

Physiological Barriers

5.3K
Physiological barriers are semi-permeable cellular structures restricting drug diffusion into intracellular compartments and tissues. There are six types of physiological barriers: blood endothelial, cell membrane, blood-brain, blood-cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), blood-placenta, and blood-testis barriers.
The blood endothelial barrier is the most porous of these. It allows all small ionized, un-ionized, and lipophilic molecules to pass through the endothelial lining into the interstitial space...

Mucosal Barrier of the Stomach

2.5K
The gastric glands contain parietal cells that secrete hydrochloric acid (HCl) for digestion. The cells secrete HCl because it is highly corrosive and essential for breaking down food. To achieve this, they secrete hydrogen and chloride ions into the lumen of the gastric glands, which combine to form HCl.
Within parietal cells, carbonic acid is first formed through the reaction of water and carbon dioxide. The dissociation of carbonic acid releases bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. The bicarbonate...

Barriers to Effective Communication II01:21

Barriers to Effective Communication II

5.1K
The barriers to effective communication also include cultural barriers, semantic barriers, gender barriers, and time constraints.
Cultural barriers:
Differences in values, beliefs, religion, knowledge, and tradition can significantly impact communication. Awareness of nonverbal cues is critical, especially when conversing with a patient from a different culture. What appears appropriate in one culture may be inappropriate in another.
Semantic barriers:
As a result of their tendency to use...

Surface Membrane Barriers

3.0K
The skin and mucous membranes serve as the primary line of defense against pathogens by providing both physical and chemical protection. These barriers are essential in preventing the entry and establishment of microbes, thereby maintaining the integrity of the host.
The outer layer of the skin, the epidermis, is a robust barrier comprising layers of closely packed keratinized cells. This dense arrangement prevents microbes from penetrating the body. The periodic shedding of epidermal cells...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Electronics Engineering

Background:

  • Flexible and stretchable electronics require robust barrier materials to prevent degradation from moisture.
  • Existing barrier solutions often lack sufficient transparency, scalability, or mechanical resilience for demanding applications like foldable displays.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a transparent, scalable, and stretchable moisture barrier using double-layer graphene (2LG) coated with alumina.
  • To investigate the impact of 2LG on the barrier properties and mechanical performance of alumina films under strain.

Main Methods:

  • Scalable dry transfer of 2LG onto a polymeric substrate using a roll-to-roll method.
  • Atomic layer deposition of alumina onto the 2LG.
  • In situ micro-tensile testing to study crack generation and defect evolution under strain.
  • Quantitative analysis of correlations between deformation-induced defects and water vapor transmission rate.

Main Results:

  • Introduction of 2LG significantly enhanced both barrier properties and stretchability of the alumina film.
  • Interlayer sliding between graphene layers in 2LG reduced crack density in the alumina under strain, improving overall stretchability.
  • Negligible polymeric residues were observed in the transferred 2LG.

Conclusions:

  • Alumina-deposited 2LG presents a promising solution for transparent, scalable, and stretchable moisture barriers.
  • This technology is vital for the advancement of foldable and stretchable organic electronics and displays.
