Citric Acid‐Crosslinked Chitosan Coatings Incorporating Curcumin for Enhancement of Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Properties

Journal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, Volume 32, Issue 6, Page 1573-1592, November 2026.
A fully bio‐based coating was developed using Chitosan, Citric acid, and Curcumin. Citric acid acts simultaneously as a green solvent and non‐toxic crosslinker. Dry Heat Treatment enhances water resistance and thermal stability, creating an active packaging system with dual antioxidant and antimicrobial properties to extend food shelf‐life.

Investigating Fracture Behavior of Lattice Structures Using the XFEM and Equivalent Solid Material Model Techniques

Fatigue &Fracture of Engineering Materials &Structures, Volume 49, Issue 11, Page 4572-4585, November 2026.
ABSTRACT This study aims to numerically investigate the mode I, II, and III fracture behaviors of additively manufactured degradable, bioplastic polylactic acid (PLA) lattice specimens. Numerical simulations were performed using the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) based on the extracted PLA's mechanical and fracture material properties.

Simultaneous Overexpression of FERULOYL‐CoA 6′‐HYDROXYLASE 1 and COUMARIN SYNTHASE Leads to Coumarin‐Enriched Lignin and Improved Saccharification in Greenhouse‐ and Field‐Grown Poplar

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 11, Page 5774-5792, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The urgent need for renewable resources has increased the interest in woody biomass to manufacture bio‐based products. However, lignin recalcitrance limits the enzymatic conversion of wood into fermentable sugars, posing a major challenge for biomass deconstruction.

Improving the Mechanical Properties of Biodegradable Polyhydroxyalkanoates via PHA–PHA Block‐Copolymer Synthesis

Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 39, 22 October 2026.
Covalent linkage of a highly crystalline PHBV with a ductile P3HB4HB is shown to produce block copolymers with markedly enhanced extensibility and toughness, outperforming equivalent blends. The results demonstrate that polymer architecture, not composition alone, governs mechanical response, offering a route to biodegradable materials that combine ...

Basalt Fiber Surface Modification for Improved Interaction With Polyamide‐6 for High‐Performance Automotive Applications

Polymer Composites, Volume 47, Issue 20, Page 18176-18190, 20 October 2026.
Amino‐silane treatment improves the basalt fiber–PA6 interface, enhancing composite performance. ABSTRACT Basalt fiber‐reinforced polymer (BFRP) composites have emerged as sustainable alternatives to glass fiber (GF) composites, but their performance is often controlled by the quality of the fiber–matrix adhesion.
