Consumers' Willingness to Pay a Premium for Climate‐Friendly Food Production: The Role of Production Method Information and Social Norms

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines whether information about production methods and social norms can increase consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) a price premium for food produced using climate‐friendly farming methods. A randomized survey experiment was conducted with 1568 respondents across Denmark, Lithuania, and Spain, who were assigned to one of four ...

Argon Cold Plasma Modification of Polyethylene Films to Tailor Surface and Barrier Properties

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Argon cold plasma treatment of low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) and high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) films induces major changes in surface chemistry and morphology. Contact angles decrease significantly while surface energy increases, improving wettability. FTIR confirms the formation of polar functional groups, while pronounced etching, roughness, and

From Hemp Bast to Lyocell Fiber: Sustainable Process Optimization for Lyocell‐Grade Dissolving Pulp

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a sustainable method to produce lyocell‐grade dissolving pulp from Canadian hemp bast fibers. A simplified alkali‐chelation‐bleaching process, free from sulfur and chlorine, yielded high α‐cellulose pulp with low lignin and hemicellulose content. The pulp was successfully spun into continuous hemp‐based lyocell fibers, demonstrating
