This review considers three aspects of the weathering of wood–natural weathering,
accelerated weathering, and simulated weathering. Natural weathering begins when …

Surface modification can be used as an effective tool for designing functionalized 2D
nanomaterial-based lubricant additives with desirable properties. In this paper, Ti3C2T x …

Abstract Tropical regions like French Guiana need local building materials to cope with high
population growth and the high cost of imported cementitious materials. Poured earthen …

Ferric tannate has unique adsorption capacities for NH4+-N and NO2−-N simultaneously.
So far, no normative method is available for synthesizing ferric tannate. In this work, an …

Dynamic hydrogels are prepared by either dynamic covalent bonds or supramolecular
chemistry. Herein, we develop a dynamic hydrogel by combining both dynamic covalent …

Recently, polydopamine (PDA) was introduced as a bioinspired adhesion promoter for the
metalization of plastics to substitute for the environmentally critical chromic acid etching. A …

A clay mined in Djénné (Mali) was used to elaborate geomaterials, with tannins addition
from Parkia biglobosa pods (Néré). The compressed blocks of clay–sand mixtures show a …

French Guiana faces high population growth and requires affordable local building
materials. Poured earth construction primarily uses local soils and could offer a cost-effective …

The inhibitory effect of tannins was investigated using, among others, potentiodynamic
polarizations and Mössbauer spectroscopy. These techniques confirmed that the nature, pH …

Raspberry-shaped iron oxide nanostructures (RSNs) correspond to oriented aggregated
and hollow clusters of nanograins exhibiting a high saturation magnetization and a …
