Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bioprosthetic aortic valves have revolutionized the treatment of aortic stenosis, but their durability is limited by structural valve deterioration (SVD). This review focuses on the pericardial tissue at the heart of these valves, examining how its mechanical properties and calcification drive fatigue and failure.

Review of Modelling of Pyrolysis Processes with CFD-DEM
Flow, Turbulence and Combustion, 2023 AbstractIn a pyrolysis reactor, organic polymers from biomass or plastic waste are thermally decomposed into volatile gases, condensable vapours (tar or bio-oil) and solid residues (char). Since these products may serve as building blocks for downstream chemical refinement or form the basis of bio-derived fuels, pyrolysis is thought to be instrumental ...
