Microwave‐Assisted Alcoholysis of Ethylene–Vinyl Acetate: Phenomenological and Thermal Evolution of EVAOH Terpolymers

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Microwave‐assisted alcoholysis converts EVA into EVAOH terpolymers, promoting a progressive transition from EVA‐like crystallites to VOH‐rich hydrogen‐bonded crystalline domains. Solvent‐controlled swelling influences conversion kinetics, while thermal analysis reveals a sigmoidal increase in melting temperature that a two‐population crystallization ...

Cooling Holes in Polymer Spur Gears: A Critical Analysis of Heat Dissipation Benefits and Mesh Stiffness Penalties

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Cooling holes provide a simple passive cooling strategy for polymer spur gears, reducing maximum operating temperature by up to 9.39% while introducing a measurable gear mesh stiffness penalty. A validated response‐surface model reveals how hole size and location govern this thermal–mechanical trade‐off, enabling design optimization for thermally and ...

The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

Innovation Pathways to Carbon Efficiency: Disentangling the Effects of AI, R&D, and Clean Energy Blessings on U.S. Environmental Sustainability

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The United States (U.S.) faces challenges in achieving its ambitious net‐zero carbon emissions target by 2050, with current emissions having fallen by less than 1% in 2024. Despite an investment of $500 billion in low‐carbon resources while holding the second‐largest green technology patent portfolio globally, it is further imperative to ...

Firm‐Size Heterogeneity in the Effects of ESG Disclosure on Firm Value Under Institutional Reform: Evidence From Japan

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Focusing on firm‐size heterogeneity, this study examines how institutional reform reshapes the effects of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) disclosure on firm value. Using 2019–2023 panel data on 1427 Japanese listed firms (before and after the 2022 Tokyo Stock Exchange reorganization and Corporate Governance Code revision), this ...
