Summary: Intrusion curves under mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP) often underestimate pore sizes below the actual pore-size distribution (APSD), resulting in difficulties in interpreting the dominant pore structure in various concrete performances. This study proposes a method to accurately estimate the APSD from a MIP intrusion curve by considering the ink-bottle effect. By incorporating a model for calculating the volume of the ink-bottle pores into the inverse analysis system, the APSD can be obtained through a three-dimensional intrusion simulation. The APSD estimation results of the proposed method are in good agreement with those of existing methods.

Summary: This study investigates the energy storage potential of waste plastics-derived carbon nano-materials (CNMs), pyrolyzed directly on nickel foam coated with nickel alumina catalyst. The effect of increasing nickel to aluminum molar ratio on energy storage capacity is studied, and the results show that a molar ratio of 0.1 has the highest specific capacitance. The fabricated electrode using this method exhibits stability, durability, and higher performance than commercial CNMs, without the need for post-treatment. Therefore, this study presents a new approach to fabricating environmentally friendly and economically effective supercapacitors.

Summary: Investigating the pyrolysis behavior of real-world waste plastics (RWWP) and using them to produce carbon nanotubes (CNTs) could be an effective solution to the global waste plastics crisis. Thermogravimetric analysis (TG) and fast pyrolysis-TG/mass spectrometry (Py-TG/MS) were used to characterize the pyrolysis behavior of RWWP. The activation energies for RWWP pyrolysis were calculated using three methods, and the results showed that polystyrene, polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate, and polypropylene were present in RWWP. Among them, polystyrene, polyethylene, and polypropylene were found to be better carbon sources for producing CNTs. The research also demonstrated a high carbon yield of 32.21 wt% and a high degree of CNT purity at 93.04%.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
