Abstract:
A new theoretical and practical framework has been developed through operando study of the zeolite catalytic cracking of low-density polyethylene (as a model reaction) under reaction conditions. Results show that microporous ZSM-5 gives rise to less cracking products. Hierarchical ZSM-5 zeolites are more active cracking catalysts, rendering more C2 -C5 hydrocarbons, with a delayed deactivation due to the secondary porosity. This tool in combination with thermogravimetric analysis provides complementary and valuable information for the study, and design of advanced catalysts.

Types of Non-structural Cracks in Concrete
Plastic shrinkage cracks typically form within hours after the concrete is poured. The concrete's surface dries faster than the bottom, creating tensile stress that the still-plastic concrete cannot withstand, leading to diagonal or randomly patterned cracks on the concrete surface.
