Fiber‐Reinforced Bio‐Epoxy Composites: Degradation Mechanisms in Saline Environment

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Constituent level degradation of bio‐epoxy composites after saline aging. ABSTRACT This study examines the degradation behavior of bio‐epoxy composites reinforced with glass, basalt, carbon, and flax fiber yarns in a simulated saline environment. Fiber yarns and composite samples were exposed to 3.5% NaCl solution at 60°C for up to 3000 h.

Fragmentation Across Scales, Geography, and Climate Challenges in European Urban Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Research: A Bibliometric and Systematic Review

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European urban climate change research lacks integration across scales, geography, and climate challenges, despite Europe's coordinated policy frameworks. Through a hybrid bibliometric and systematic review of 1528 studies (2010–2025) using Cortext Manager and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study maps the conceptual patterns, knowledge gaps, and
