Currently, this linkage can only be presumed through successful plant establishment (Hardegree et al. 2011); hence, data are needed to quantify the impact of various plant materials on ecosystem resilience and desired ecosystem services.
However, eligible materials which show appropriate resilience and proper decomposition properties at the same time, and in the upper echelon of cost-effectiveness, are seldom known.
They know that increased weather extremes, growing resource costs and increased public scrutiny could have material implications for their future resilience and need addressing.
Our research considers how the addition of natural fibre and recoverable textile components can lend compressed earth block building structural resilience and more predictable material qualities relative to human comfort and building longevity.
The obtained composite is a unique low cost material because is environmentally friendly and has a high potential for applications in shock absorption and padding materials, due its proven good resilience and elastic modulus.
Grace and playfulness bespeak the santeros' resilience and inventiveness despite material deprivation.
Resilin is a composite material which has low stiffness, high resilience and excellent energy storage capability (Chan et al., 1998).
The technique used at Cambridge involves depositing additional layers of gallium nitride-based materials, one as a "compression layer" to provide greater resilience and another as an ultra-thin mask that increases the accuracy of fabrication.
Understanding mixing times for transient pollutants in mechanically ventilated rooms is important for resilience and safety planning for accidental releases of toxic material.
Three-dimensional (3D) graphene-based porous materials with a combination of low density, superelasticity, excellent mechanical resilience and tunable functionalities can be used in diverse applications.
