Microwave-Assisted Preparation for Graphene Functional Material
Graphite has excellent microwave absorption capability and electrical conductivity, microwave radiation on spent graphite can induce a Joule heat–discharge–plasma coupled effect, leading to a rapid heating process, especially when discharge occurs, exhibiting a thermal shock effect with the generation of a large number of high-energy electrons and active materials. This special feature facilitates microwave heating that is tailored for assisting the removal of impurities, structure repair, and graphite intercalation, exfoliation in an efficient manner and microwave-assisted preparation.

Burn Pathophysiology
Burns are a widespread global public health traumatic injury affecting many people worldwide. Non-fatal burn injuries are a leading cause of morbidity, resulting in prolonged hospitalization, disfigurement, and disability, often with resulting stigma and rejection. The treatment of burns is aimed at controlling pain, removing dead tissue, preventing infection, reducing scarring risk, and tissue regeneration.

Malt on Beer Flavour Stability
Delaying flavour staling has been one of the greatest and most significant challenges for brewers. The choice of suitable raw materials, particularly malting barley, is the critical starting point to delay the risk of beer staling. Malting barley and the malting process can have an impact on beer instability due to the presence of pro-oxidant and antioxidant activities. Malt contains various compounds originating from barley or formed during the malting process, which can play a significant role in the fundamental processes of brewing through their antioxidant properties.

Effect of Carbon Nanotubes on Tin-Based Lead-Free Solders
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are being applied with increasing frequency for advanced soldering. They have excellent mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties and are primarily used to reinforce lead-free solders. The addition of CNTs can effectively improve the ultimate tensile strength, microhardness, shear strength, and creep resistance of the solder. However, the practical application of CNT composite solders has been a challenge for researchers for decades. The most significant issue is uniform dispersion due to the large density and surface differences between CNTs and solders. Other concerns are the structural integrity of CNTs and their limited addition amount, solder wettability, and interfacial bonding. CNT composite solders can only be widely used in a real sense when these challenges are properly addressed and overcome.

High-Velocity Oxy-Fuel Technology
Due to the toxicity associated with chromium electrodeposition, alternatives to that process are highly sought after. One of those potential alternatives is High Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF). Costs and environmental impacts per piece coated are then evaluated. On an economic side, the lower labor requirements of HVOF allow one to noticeably reduce the costs (20.9% reduction) per functional unit (F.U.). Furthermore, on an environmental side, HVOF has a lower impact for the toxicity compared to electrodeposition, even if the results are a bit more mixed in other impact categories.

History of Pleating
Pleating is basically the process of compressing high-quality hardwood along the grain after plasticization by supporting the sides of the wood to avoid buckling. Many treatment variations can be used with a wide range of parameters. Pleated wood can be bent into small curves in any direction. Industrial pleating is still done today in some parts of the world and its success is influenced by many factors, such as wood species, wood quality, moisture content, compression ratio, fixation time, etc. The treatment significantly changes the physical, mechanical and anatomical parameters of the wood. The first written record of the procedure dates back to 1917, and since then many patents, articles, and books on this subject have been published.

Principle of Hydrophobicity
Hydrophobic thin films have attracted significant attention in both basic research and practical applications due to their unique properties. These thin films have undergone extensive study, and numerous efforts have been made to broaden their application fields to include areas such as oil hydrophobicity, hydrophobic anti-icing, and hydrophobic anti-corrosion. Additionally, fresh studies that explore approximate theories and fabrication techniques for hydrophobic thin films have emerged.

Organic Semiconducting Nanoparticles for Biosensor
Highly bio-compatible organic semiconductors are widely used as biosensors, but their long-term stability can be compromised due to photo-degradation and structural instability. To address this issue, scientists have developed organic semiconductor nanoparticles (OSNs) by incorporating organic semiconductors into a stable framework or self-assembled structure. OSNs have shown excellent performance and can be used as high-resolution biosensors in modern medical and biological research. They have been used for a wide range of applications, such as detecting small biological molecules, nucleic acids, and enzyme levels, as well as vascular imaging, tumor localization, and more. In particular, OSNs can simulate fine particulate matters (PM2.5, indicating particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 2.5 μm) and can be used to study the biodistribution, clearance pathways, and health effects of such particles.
