ABSTRACT Given the increasing global demand for sustainable materials and growing concerns over the depletion of petrochemical resources, we report the synthesis of an amorphous bio‐derived polyester diol, and this diol was polymerized with various isocyanates and butanediol, yielding a novel series of bio‐based polyurethane elastomers (BPUEs). Notably,

Evaluation of the anaerobic biodegradability of household organic waste in the Kinshasa City
Introduction Anaerobic digestion (AD) can be used to produce a more environmentally friendly form of energy from municipal solid waste (MSW) and to clean up urban environments. The application of this technology to MSW produced in Kinshasa city (KC)

Reinventing henna: Enzyme‐catalysed colour release from stabilized Lawsonia inermis L. extracts
The instability and reduced dyeing performance of a cosmetic formulation containing 2‐hydroxy‐1,4‐naphthoquinone (lawsone), derived from Lawsonia inermis L., is demonstrated in comparison to a novel two‐component system. This system comprises one formulation with naturally occurring lawsone precursors and a second containing a specific hydrolase ...

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Novel and emerging antimicrobial strategies in the management of oral infections
Abstract Background Antibiotics marked a pivotal turning point in human civilization, enhancing social interactions and extending human life expectancy. In addition to their success in treating systemic infectious diseases, they have significantly improved periodontal treatment outcomes as an adjunct therapy.

Abstract BACKGROUND Microbial electrochemical technologies (METs) enable separation of ammonium from nutrient‐rich waste streams, such as sludge return liquors, using bioanodes that consume organic matter to generate electrical current. Quantification of ammonia recovery performance in pilot scale METs treating real wastes under industrially relevant ...

Evaluation of Laboratory‐Scale Composting Reactors to Simulate Compost Barn Bedding Dynamics
ABSTRACT Efficient management of compost bedding is essential for sustainability and animal welfare in Compost Barns (CBs). This study evaluated laboratory‐scale bioreactors as tools to simulate CB composting dynamics, focusing on temperature control, aeration, and wood shaving supplementation. Three sequential experiments were conducted. Test 1 used a

Anaerobic biodegradability of kitchen waste
Biodegradability of synthetic and real kitchen wastes was assessed in batch assays, under different solid contents between 1,8 and 24% and waste/inoculum ratios between 0,2 and 29 VSwaste/Vsseed sludge. Methanization rate and cumulative methane production from synthetic wastes simulated with different blends of protein, carbohydrates, fat and cellulose

Pollution to Solution: Understanding and Addressing Microplastic Contamination in the Environment
ABSTRACT In general, plastic pollution results from the unintentional release of macroplastic materials into the environment as well as the deliberate production and usage of small plastic particles (micro‐ and nano‐sized plastic particles) in a variety of consumer products micro and nanoplastics in filtrate freshwater and marine environments because ...
