Stripping‐based approach for the recovery of volatile fatty acids from anaerobic digestion digestate: preliminary experimental investigations and modelling

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Volatile fatty acids (VFAs) are widely used across industries: as intermediates in chemical production (e.g., solvents and polymers), in pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and as preservatives and health‐promoting additives in food and animal feed. Emerging applications also include bioplastics, bioenergy, and biotechnology.

Gamma Irradiation‐Based Free Radical Grafting of N‐Hydroxyethyl Acrylamide onto Poly[(R)‐3‐hydroxybutyrate]

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates successful gamma‐radiation‐induced grafting of N‐hydroxyethyl acrylamide onto poly[(R)‐3‐hydroxybutyrate], producing substantial changes in material properties. Grafting generated a biphasic, less crystalline structure with enhanced thermal stability, elongation (65%), toughness (378% increase), and exceptional water uptake (610 ...

Development of Biodegradable Talc‐Filled PBAT/PLA and PBSA/PBAT Binary Blend Films: Effects of Multilayer Architecture and Uniaxial Orientation on Performance

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
PBAT‐based PLA and PBSA blend films were developed in single‐ and tri‐layer structures with talc and processed via blown film extrusion followed by uniaxial stretching. Multilayer design and MDO significantly enhanced mechanical strength, stiffness, barrier, and UV resistance through chain orientation and strain‐induced crystallization.
