Thermal Degradation and Thermal Decomposition of Plasticized PVC Including POSS Additives for PVC Compounds: Mechanisms, Impact, and Performance of Standards

Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, EarlyView.
Additives' structures. ABSTRACT Poly(vinyl chloride) has been a key polymeric material since its commercial production in 1931, demonstrating versatility across numerous industries due to its compatibility with various additives. PVC's inherent properties, flame retardance, durability, and recyclability make it ideal for building and construction ...

The grapevine microbiota: A review on the possible impacts of plant protection programs on phyllosphere microorganisms

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
This review highlights recent advances in understanding how plant protection programs and alternative fungicides affect the taxonomic composition of the grapevine phyllosphere microbiota. Bacterial and fungal communities are primarily shaped by the plant compartment, vineyard location, and sampling time. Plant protection programs generally have a minor

Commercial clays in cosmetic formulations for hair care: Characterization and application to improve the mechanical properties of hair fibre

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
The shampoo and conditioner bar formulations enhanced hair gloss, promoting softness, improved cuticle alignment, and effective protection of hair shafts against external aggressors. Findings from mechanical properties measurements indicate that the clay‐containing formulations enhance the mechanical strength of hair, contributing to stronger and more ...

Bentonite clays as aflatoxin B1 adsorbents [PDF]

, 2023
In this study three bentonite clays (bentonite from deposit Beretnica in Republic of Serbia, commercial bentonite and gray clay from Šipovo deposit in Bosnia and Herzegovina) were investigated as adsorbents of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). In a single in vitro AFB1 adsorption experiment, all three bentonites showed high adsorption efficiency for AFB1 at pH 5 ...
