Gas and Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry as a Tool for Elucidating Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and Metabolites in Maternal Milk: A Perspective on Infants’ Health Risk Assessment

Chemosensors
Maternal milk is pivotal for infants’ nutrition. It also portrays the chemical burden to which the mother has been exposed. One of the chemical families that is prevalent and related to potential toxic effects are volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Digestate-Derived Compost Modulates the Retention/Release Process of Organic Xenobiotics in Amended Soil

Agriculture
This study examined the effects of 2, 4 and 8% digestate-derived compost (DCP) on the retention/release of the fungicide penconazole (PEN), the herbicide S-metolachlor (S-MET) and the endocrine disruptor bisphenol A (BPA) in two agricultural soils ...

Accelerating Sustainable Epoxy Resin Development Through Bayesian Optimization and Inverse Design

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Development of a machine learning framework for the optimization of the Tg of partially bio‐based epoxy resin formulations in a 13‐component design space using Bayesian optimization, active learning, random design, and inverse design. The results show that the BO effectively navigates high‐dimensional formulation spaces, and the final ML model could ...

Associations Between Endocrine-Disrupting Chemical Exposure and Fertility Outcomes: A Decade of Human Epidemiological Evidence

Life
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are exogenous compounds that interfere with the endocrine system by mimicking or blocking the action of endogenous hormones such as estrogens, androgens, and thyroid hormones.

Synthesis of a Novel Amine‐Based Curing Agent for Epoxy Resins Derived From Vanillin

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
The four‐step synthesis of a new bio‐based amine hardener is described starting from vanillin as a bio‐based compound. The hardener ADBA was utilized to cure DGEBA and the resulting Tg,tanδmax was determined via DMA. Compared to other bio‐based curing agents, our curing agent is obtainable in a high yield and leads to a superior Tg of 135°C.

Compositional Time–Temperature–Transformation and Post‐Processing Window Mapping of Epoxy Nanocomposites via Machine Learning

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Discrete DSC and rheological data are transformed into continuous compositional Time–temperature–transformation (TTT) diagrams through physics‐informed Gaussian Process Regression. The proposed framework quantitatively predicts post‐gel processing windows across temperature and nanofiller composition, providing a practical route for accelerated design ...

Non-persistent environmental chemical mixture and gestational hypertension, blood pressure, and blood pressure trajectories during pregnancy

Environment International
Background: Gestational blood pressure (BP) is susceptible to exogenous exposures, including environmental chemicals. However, epidemiological evidence is lacking, particularly for the emerging contaminants. Methods: We quantified 31 urinary chemicals in

Glyoxylic‐Acetal‐Based Gel‐Polymer Electrolytes for Lithium‐Ion Batteries

Batteries &Supercaps, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2025.
A safe electrolyte based on tetraethoxyglyoxal (LE) is combined with a methacrylate polymer matrix. The resulting gel‐polymer electrolyte (GPE) exhibits an increased flash point, suitable ionic conductivity, and a stable performance in lithium‐ion battery cells.

Micro‐ and nanoplastics in gastrointestinal disorders: Mapping the translational gap between exposure, biomonitoring, and pathogenic mechanisms

BMEMat, EarlyView.
This review highlights critical “translational gaps” in understanding micro‐ and nanoplastics impacts on gastrointestinal diseases, bridging exposure, detecting, and mechanistic toxicology. Abstract Micro‐ and nanoplastics (MNPs) have become pervasive environmental contaminants with increasing evidence linking them to adverse health outcomes.
