    Abstract Pavement preventive maintenance (PPM) is critical to ensuring traffic efficiency, road user experience, and safety. However, it imposes significant costs in annual road infrastructure budgets because it requires high-quality and natural material resources. This study provides a systematic and comprehensive review on the use of recycled wastes as an alternative for the natural materials used in PPM mixes. Specifically, the use of recycled waste tires (RWT) and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in chip seals, microsurfacing, slurry seals, and thin asphalt overlays were discussed. The current state-of-practice in terms of material specification and mix design were comprehensively investigated for PPM mixes containing RAP (RAP-PPM) and PPM with RWT (RWT-PPM). Laboratory and field performances of waste-treated PPM mixes were elaborated and compared with conventional PPM treatments to determine the feasibility of the RAP-PPM and RWT-PPM technologies. Furthermore, current research gaps were identified, and prospects for future investigations were discussed. It is envisaged that this study can provide a sufficient theoretical basis for the widespread practical application and beneficial use of this valuable technology, towards promoting sustainability in pavement maintenance practice.

    Abstract The use of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) materials in asphalt concrete pavements (ACP) brings significant cost and environmental benefits. In practice, however, the amount of RAP readily available far exceeds the amount being utilized in ACPs, which still leaves the problem of excess RAP in the environment partially solved. Additionally, ACPs containing RAP materials (i.e., RAP-ACPs) can still be landfilled after they have reached the end of their useful life, which may restore the original environmental waste problem. To address these, researchers have demonstrated different ways to maximize the application of RAP in ACPs. Among them, the use of RAP in pavement preventive maintenance (PPM) treatments and the repeated recycling of RAP-ACPs (i.e., R

    Abstract Water shortage has become a global crisis that has posed and still poses a serious threat to the human race, especially in developing countries. Harvesting moisture from the atmosphere is a viable approach to easing the world water crisis due to its ubiquitous nature. Inspired by nature, biotemplate surfaces have been given considerable attention in recent years though these surfaces still suffer from intrinsic trade-offs making replication more challenging. In the design of artificial surfaces, maximizing their full potential and benefits as that of the natural surface is difficult. Here, we conveniently made use of

    Abstract Water is one of the most important and crucial indicators of sustainable development goals (SDGs) for humans and other living organisms. Water demand has outstripped supply, resulting in shortage on a worldwide scale, particularly in arid regions. This water scarcity has impeded agricultural productivity and other developmental projects with the ongoing global warming and other anthropogenic activities making it more complicated. To address the worldwide water crisis, it is worthwhile to convert atmospheric air to drinking water. Sequel to that, a hydrophobic surface was designed using facile lithography to compare its water harvesting efficiency with a hydrophilic surface at different orientation angles. For the research, the hydrophobic designed surface is called biodesigned material, while the hydrophilic natural surface is a
