Preparation of Porous MOF‐Polymer Composites via High Internal Phase Pickering Emulsions for Dye Adsorption Applications

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
A versatile method was developed to fabricate hierarchically porous monoliths using UiO‐66/TOCNC composites as Pickering emulsion stabilizers. The resulting polyHIPEs, produced under mild and scalable conditions, showed confirmed structural integrity through TGA, XRD, SEM, BET, and FT‐IR.

What may be: policy enactment in education, a new conceptual framework with actor-network theory

Journal of Education Policy
In this article, I present a new conceptual framework constructed using sensemaking theory and Actor–Network Theory (ANT) to demonstrate layers of policy enactment. The framework reimagines policy enactment as a sociomaterial ethico-political activity by

Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...
