Advanced Science, EarlyView.The report presents a facile room‐temperature method to stabilize Pd single‐atom catalysts within ZIF‐67 crystals during their formation. Despite an ultralow Pd loading (0.0014 wt%), the catalytic microreactor, featuring atomically dispersed Pd‐N4 sites in ZIF‐67, demonstrates superior robustness and maximized Pd utilization, significantly ...

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

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.
