The article argues that PCMs can enhance passive thermal management by storing and releasing latent heat near the phase-transition temperature, provided integration methods preserve mechanical integrity and durability.
The review synthesizes how self‑healing concepts can extend service life by sealing microcracks through precipitation, polymerization, or biomineralization, while emphasizing that feasibility depends on trigger conditions, transport pathways, and compatibility with cement chemistry.
The review frames DIY refinishing as a response to labor constraints and cost pressures, while emphasizing that achievable outcomes depend strongly on substrate preparation, film build control, and the limitations of consumer-grade materials.
The article argues that automotive color control requires instrumental quantification because human color perception is variable and context-dependent, while modern finishes exhibit strong angular and illumination sensitivity.
The article synthesizes how optimized particle packing, supplementary cementitious materials, fibre reinforcement, and high-range water reduction enable compressive strengths exceeding 150 MPa while improving durability-related attributes.
The article synthesizes how gypsum-based systems can be advanced through formulation engineering and hybridization (e.g., fibres, additives, mineral co-binders) to improve functional performance while supporting sustainability-oriented construction practices
The article surveys DIY coating formats that emphasize simplified application while extending surface aesthetics and protection through formulation choice, film architecture, and nano‑enabled surface modification.
The review argues that increased durability and regulatory/functional requirements in modern formulations necessitate pigments with high stability, fastness, dispersibility, and low migration beyond conventional commodity pigments.
The review argues that substituting petrochemical polyols with renewable feedstock‑derived polyols can reduce environmental burden while preserving key PU attributes such as durability, chemical resistance, and flexibility.
The article argues that pandemic-era behavioral shifts and reduced service availability accelerated DIY adoption, prompting innovation in simplified application systems, packaging, and consumer tool ecosystems.
The article argues that DIY waterproofing adoption is driven by repair urgency and service constraints, while effectiveness remains conditional on substrate state, application fidelity, and the intrinsic limits of short‑duration or surface‑only interventions.
The review consolidates mechanisms and design constraints that govern antimicrobial performance in polymeric systems, emphasizing stability, agent retention, and formulation–processing compatibility across application sectors.
The review argues that phosphogypsum, despite impurity and radionuclide constraints, can serve as a viable raw material for binder systems when adequately purified and formulated.
The article argues that perceived product “upgradation” can be operationalized by mapping customer‑visible attributes to controllable formulation variables and validating them via accelerated and field exposure testing.
The review consolidates how AMCs achieve microbial growth suppression via release-based, contact-active, and anti-adhesion strategies, while emphasizing that validation, durability, and safety constraints govern real-world utility.
Powder coating is positioned as a solvent-free approach for reducing VOC-associated impacts while extending functional and substrate capabilities through tailored chemistries and process innovations.
